Greetings all,
On a 1.5 year old producion system, we have sporadic complaints of performance "problems". When asked for details, users reply with "everything was slow for awhile". From a CNC perspective, we've poured over the tuning guides for all system components. The iSeries admins notice nothing unusual during the times reported, in fact our CPU rarely goes over 45-50%.
A tool that has caught the attention of management is Performance Monitor. They like the fact that there is no additional software to purchase, we simply need to install and configure. Short of the install docs and it being mentioned in a couple of powerpoints, I've seen very little regarding this tool. Does anyone out there have experience with it and can you recommend for or against bothering to set it up? What is the level of effort involved in the install? Is it going to be useful in pinpointing bottlenecks as the brochures indicate?
Thanks!
