Overview:
IBM IMS™ Buffer Pool Analyzer for z/OS® provides a way to analyze database buffer pool performance for both IMS batch jobs and IMS subsystems.
IBM IMS Buffer Pool Analyzer for z/OS provides statistical analysis reporting that helps evaluate current IMS online and batch job database buffer pools. It provides the information required to determine if changes to your buffer pool configuration would benefit information management performance. Based on this data, your organization can optimize performance and eliminate guesswork from the database buffer pool change process.
Features:
Change recommendations
Reviews your buffer pool environment and recommends changes to the number of buffers in each subpool to improve performance. Specific recommendations are made for the number of buffers for each subpool, and the resulting change in storage usage and reduction in number of database reads.
Subpool configuration information
Reviews the databases that are allocated to each subpool and document subpools that include databases with I/O access ratios that are inconsistent, providing the information that you can use to change your subpool configuration.
Optimize storage and databases
Identifies storage that is wasted because the most efficient buffer sizes are not available for database data sets. Plus identifies the databases that most heavily used in each of the database subpools.
Scenario analysis
Performs scenario analysis, including analyzing the impact of creating new buffer pools and changing the block size of a database.
Benefits:
Reduce system resource utilization
Offers high performance utilities to unload, load, index build, reorganize, backup, verify and report on your IMS full function and HALDB databases.
Improve system availability
Perform database reorganizations while the database is online and available for both read and update requests.
