Application Tuning

Application tuning is the process of analyzing and adjusting the performance of an application with the goal of maximizing efficiency and effectiveness. By focusing on the major causes of delay associated with an application, CA MAT leads you to the best solutions for your worst problems. Consider the following reasons for tuning your applications:

• To improve the success of a business
• To meet increasing performance demands
• To reduce costly, highly-visible delays due to inefficient applications
• To evaluate applications under development and compare third-party software
• To identify the source of batch, CICS, DB2®, and IMS loops and waits
• To plan and position for a shrinking batch timeframe

This book includes several chapters devoted to aiding the user with specific application–tuning issues.
