Road Rage Against the Machine: Understanding & Dealing with z14 Traffic Patterns Apr 25 2019 7:00 pm UTC 75 mins
John BakerHow often have you been stuck in traffic? In many cases, we slowly advance through the gridlock and eventually spot the offending accident or construction work, then off we go. What about when we see no problem? We slow down or stop (sometimes repeatedly), for no apparent reason, then resume just as mysteriously. Not understanding why, is often just as frustrating as the delay itself.
The z14 has vast throughput potential. With almost 200 Processing Units (PU's) and 32 TB of cache memory, this is a box designed for massive, parallel processing. So why do the same jobs sometimes take longer? Why do I need to turn on additional engines when transaction rates seems similar? Just as higher speed limits or more lanes don't always solve traffic problems, more MIPS or more memory is not always the answer.
In this session, John will share his insights from over 25 years of performance analysis. we will explore common sources of application delays and discuss practical solutions to reduce these delays. Stop the rage. Don't get mad; get moving. -
RMF/SMF Analysis - Get Ahead of the Curve with Statistical Analysis Recorded: Dec 19 2018 60 mins
Dr. Gilbert Houtekamer, Brent PhillipsAdvanced statistical algorithms applied to the most meaningful metrics will automatically identify significant changes to the z/OS workloads and applications, and enable capacity planners to accurately forecast workload growth.

CICS & Db2 Performance Analytics Based on SMF Data Recorded: Dec 16 2018 59 mins
Dr. Gilbert Houtekamer, Brent Phillips, Todd HavekostThis webinar, which had the highest number of registrations in IBM System Magazine history, discusses and demonstrates the benefits of modernizing how you understand and leverage the SMF data for CICS and Db2 Performance analysis.
It highlights how the IntelliMagic approach with automatic health checks and dashboard technology identifies potential performance and availability issues before they impact production. -
Easy z/OS Application Performance Testing from the Infrastructure Perspective Recorded: Dec 15 2018 61 mins
Brent Phillips, Jack OpgenorthThis session will examine the historical reasons why the performance and financial cost impact on the z/OS infrastructure has been difficult to test in DevOps organizations. We will also discuss an architecture and modernized methodology to utilize built-in (artificial) intelligence on the vast infrastructure performance and configuration data (RMF/SMF).
This modernized approach can significantly improve release quality as it relates to the z/OS infrastructure’s ability to efficiently deliver the service levels required by specific applications. -

2018 RMF/SMF Analytics - Status and Predictions Recorded: Dec 12 2018 61 mins
Brent Phillips, Todd Havekost2018 is a watershed year for how RMF (or CMF) and SMF data is used by Performance and Capacity teams. This webinar covers the smarter analytics trends taking root in the mainstream. -
End-to-End Storage Infrastructure Analytics with Topology Viewer Recorded: Dec 11 2018 17 mins
Brett AllisonMost environments have hidden availability risks because getting insights in the end-to-end risks, from the VMware guest through the SAN fabric to the Storage LUN, is difficult to accomplish in practice. It requires many relationships from a variety of sources. This webinar will cover: • What is the topology viewer? • Requirements for the topology viewer? • What kinds of end-to-end infrastructure storage problems are discoverable with the topology viewer? • How can you diagnose issues with it? • How can I get ahold of it? -
