Longstanding Experience in IBM System Software

Application Performance Analyzer

Participants will learn to:

• Optimize the performance of existing applications and improve the response time of online transactions and turnaround time on batch transactions.
• Gather the information required to isolate performance problems in applications and test the effect of increased workloads on a system.
• Monitor, analyze, and report the performance of CICS, Assembler, COBOL, PL/1, C/C++, DB2, IMS, and WebSphere MQ applications.
• Collect samples from the monitored address space and analyze the system or resource application usage of CPU, DASD, I/O or the total address space.
• Utilize online analysis and generate reports that can be created as PDF files and reviewed on workstations.
• Integrate the software product with Fault Analyzer for z/OS and Debug Tool for z/OS.
• Utilize the Java enhancements, UNIX System Services support, performance comparisons, report enhancements, and usability enhancements.

  Fault Analyzer

Participants will learn to:

• Use error messages and codes that apply to a failure and which are easy to understand.
• Work with an analysis report that describes the problem in terms of application codes; therefore it will not be necessary to interpret a low-level system dump or system-level error messages.
• Utilize the analysis engine which provides automatic analysis when the application fails an application-initiated analysis for the program SNAP interface and user-initiated fault reanalysis.
• Take advantage of real-time abnormal end analysis; Fault Analyzer activates automatically from an appropriate exit of the processing environment and records information from the abend in a fault history file.
• Use fault reanalysis for extracting additional information about a failure; this can be initiated for either a batch fault reanalysis or interactive reanalysis.
• Utilize fault history files which are extended partitioned datasets containing information about the faults that have been analyzed.

  File Manager

  Participants will learn to:

• Use the IBM Problem Determination Tools suite for displaying, editing, updating, creating, copying, comparing, printing, and erasing data files.
• Use the enhanced browse, edit, copy and print utilities found in ISPF.
• Manipulate data using COBOL and PL/I record layouts interactively or in batch.
• Provide access to CICS resources with the ISPF look-alike interface.
• Customize the fields used for displaying, copying, or printing data.

  File Manager - DB2

  Participants will learn to:

• Use the utility functions which have been integrated for editing, browsing, printing, copying, and maintaining DB2 data.
• List DB2 objects and manage DB2 privileges.
• Generate JCL to run DB2 standalone utilities.
• Export and import DB2 tables to or from QSAM or VSAM datasets.
• Create data for populating DB2 tables.
• Prototype SQL SELECT statements.

  Debug Tools

  Participants will learn to: 

• Support batch, TSO, CICS, DB2, DB2 stored procedures, IMS, and UNIX System Services.
• Use interpreted commands for specifying actions to be taken.
• Set various types of breakpoints in an application program.
• Display and monitor variables for changing and watching for specified exceptions and conditions during program execution.
• Debug mixed-language applications in the same session.
