APM Automation Package Components
The APM Automation Package consists of products and training that deliver the most advanced application performance measurement, analysis and performance information available today. Package components include:
STROBE MVS for Sysplex with either the STROBE COBOL, PL/I, C or Java Feature
STROBE MVS for Sysplex is the premier technology for optimizing application performance in OS/390 environments. It uniquely delivers the precise, in-depth application performance information IT professionals need to find and fix causes of excessive resource demand quickly and accurately. STROBE MVS for Sysplex measures performance of batch and online applications in single- and multi-system environments, offering a powerful, comprehensive solution for controlling costs and resource use.
The STROBE Advanced Session Management Feature
The STROBE Advanced Session Management Feature automates application performance measurement and analysis—significantly increasing the level of benefits from practicing APM. By making the measurement process repeatable and predictable, the STROBE Advanced Session Management Feature increases the flexibility of both STROBE and iSTROBE and boosts user productivity, maximizing return on investment for IT managers and their companies.
- Define reusable measurement session request groups
With the STROBE Advanced Session Management Feature users can efficiently automate regular measurements of mission-critical application components, saving time and reducing costs. Users can create reusable groups of measurement session requests and submit them with a single action. Later users can resubmit the group, and the STROBE Advanced Session Management Feature enables them to readily collect and analyze performance data at successive stages in an application's life cycle or after a series of coding changes.
- Automatically schedule measurement session requests and groups
The STROBE Advanced Session Management Feature's flexibility allows users to schedule measurement session requests and groups by day, date or time of day. This enables users to quickly and easily gather application performance data at regular intervals during peak processing times.
- Track application performance trends
The STROBE Advanced Session Management Feature enables users to quickly identify critical application performance problems. The STROBE Advanced Session Management Feature establishes a historical record of application performance, saving users time by allowing them to focus on the problem areas. The historical record of application performance helps IT users track trends in the performance of a particular job step, online region, transaction or DBRM over time.
- Calculate cost savings
IT professionals can easily determine savings from application performance improvements with the STROBE Advanced Session Management Feature, because it quantifies the differences in CPU use and I/O counts.
- Prioritize application performance analysis efforts
The STROBE Advanced Session Management Feature makes it easy for users to quickly target problem applications. It enables users to focus performance analysis efforts on application components that consume significant resources, by flagging only those measurement session requests that exceed user-defined thresholds for resource consumption.
iSTROBE Application Performance Analysis System
The iSTROBE Application Performance Analysis System extends the benefits of STROBE and the STROBE Advanced Session Management Feature to IT professionals who use Windows desktops to develop, test and maintain OS/390 applications. With its easy-to-use graphical interface, analytical aids and customizable database, iSTROBE guides users through the application performance analysis process; offers recommendations for improving application performance; facilitates tracking, documenting and cost-justifying APM projects; and supplies the means for sharing application performance knowledge across the IT organization.
