Db2 for z/OS: Monitoring & Tuning Systems' Performance Eğitimi

• identify the Db2 and MVS factors that affect performance
• plan for Db2 subsystem monitoring and tuning
• detect poor performance using various techniques
• identify tuning opportunities
• carry out effective problem detection through the use of an established performance and monitoring policy
• Implement and interpret Db2 related trace outputs covering I/O tuning, buffer pool tuning, EDM pool tuning, IRLM tuning, thread tuning.
