Presentation Overview
Key Metrics for DB2 for z/OS Performance Monitoring, Part 1
Monitoring tools and various DISPLAY commands make available to you a dizzying array of informational items pertaining to the performance of an IBM DB2 for z/OS subsystem and of applications that access DB2. You can wade through all that information or focus on the handful of metrics that will enable you to efficiently and effectively assess DB2 performance in your particular environment. Drawing on over 20 years of experience in analyzing and using information in monitor reports and displays, and in DB2 command output, I'll describe in this two-part presentation the fields that contain the highest-value information and how to use it.
