IBM i Performance Tuning - I: IBM i Structure, Tailoring and Basic Tuning

This is an intermediate course is designed for data processing managers, programmers, and analysts.

You should be able to:

• Start and stop the operating system
• Start and stop subsystems
• Manage job, message, and output queues
• Describe security concepts and create user profiles

Manage jobs by:

• Setting the appropriate system values
• Modifying subsystem descriptions to fit the workload
• Controlling batch jobs
• Tailoring job descriptions to fit processing needs

Create unique environments for running jobs by:

• Creating subsystems for special applications
• Directing jobs to run in these subsystems
• Developing job descriptions for special jobs

Tune the performance of the system by:

• Setting up pools and activity levels to handle jobs
• Tailoring execution parameters for job priorities
• Evaluating current performance using information provided by the system
• Changing system values and parameters as the workload changes
