Administration of the Central Component › Overview

Overview

Performance Management Assistant scans the load, job, and procedures libraries that you define and locates all changed modules. Additionally, SMF job step termination (SMF 30, subtype 4) records are read, statistics calculated, current consumption values checked for anomalies, and defined alert thresholds are checked against the consumption values. The changed modules, job steps exhibiting a significant increase in resource consumption, and specific job steps that you identify as user alerts become measurement requests to your measurement tool. The resulting measurement information is then interpreted and filtered by PMA. The measurements are stored for accessibility through the online dialog for up to 18 months.
