It automates the analysis of your database performance in real time and also adds expert database analysis functions to help you maximize performance and enhance productivity.
The main functions of this tool allow you to:
- Monitor, analyze, and tune the performance of IBM DB2 Universal Database and DB2 applications on z/OS
- Improve productivity with meaningful views of performance
- Quickly and easily identify performance bottlenecks using predefined rules of thumb
- Enjoy substantial breadth and depth in monitoring DB2 environments by combining batch-reporting capabilities with real-time monitoring and historical tracking functions
