Project and Program: Enterprise Data Center, Security and Compliance

Tags: Proceedings , 2011 , SHARE in Orlando 2011

This session will provide recommendations on how you can monitor your z/OS Communication Servers to help isolate network and application performance problems. With thousands of available  z/OS Network performance metrics, it can be a daunting task to even know where to start. This session will provide advice gathered from customer experiences with OMEGAMON XE for Mainframe Networks.

• You will see how correlation between key metrics can more quickly isolate performance problems. 
• Identify how poorly designed end to end applications could be the cause to high z/OS overhead. 
• Create a simple view to help identify why TCP/IP connections are randomly being rejected

The performance of z/OS Communication Server resources to be discussed will include:

• OSA-Express
• Enterprise Extender/HPR
• FTP
• TN3270
• and Application Listeners

just to name a few.
