Description

Duration

5 Days

30 CPD hours

This course is intended for

This is an intermediate course for z/OS system programmers, z/OS performance analysts, and z/OS performance administrators new to performance management for their z/OS system.Note: ES54 is intended for individuals new to WLM and the z/OS performance area

Overview

The objectives for this course are as follows:Describe a performance and tuning methodologyDevelop a systematic z/OS performance and tuning planDescribe the factors which could affect the performance of an z/OS systemUse the WLM ISPF applicationDescribe the components of a service definitionDefine workloads and service levels and classification rulesState which z/OS commands affect WLM operationIdentify the major WLM services for z/OS, including enclaves and application environments, and how they are used by DB2, WebSphere, and CICSAnalyze CPU performance when running in a shared LPAR environmentUtilize and monitor zIIP and zAAP specialty enginesMeasure and tune z/OS DASD, processor storage, and coupling facility configurationsExplain the functions and facilities of RMF and SMFAnalyze performance bottlenecks using RMFUse Workload License Charges (WLC), defined capacity and soft capping to manage software costsDescribe advanced z/OS environments that utilize Intelligent Resource Director (IRD), HiperDispatch, z/OSMF Workload Management, and I/O Priority ManagerUse the z/OSMF Workload Management (WLM) taskUse Performance Monitoring with z/OSMFModify a WLM service definition to meet the requirements for monitoring a specific system workloadCreate and customize Monitoring DesktopsReview any issues by using the Monitoring Desktops options displaysAssess the performance of the workloads running on the z/OS

This course is designed for new performance analysts to learn to work with the Workload Manager (WLM) in goal mode. Learn concepts of WLM and performance management in the z/OS system using the WLM.
