Functional Overview

Performance Management Assistant scans the load, job, and procedures libraries you define and locates all changed modules. Additionally, SMF job step termination (SMF 30, subtype 4) records are read, statistics calculated, and current consumption values checked for anomalies. 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 CA Mainframe Application Tuner. The resulting measurement information is then interpreted and filtered by Performance Management Assistant. The measurements are stored for accessibility through the online panels for up to 18 months.
