<h1 class="topictitle1">Manager and Agent feature comparison</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>You can use the Manager and Agent features to efficiently divide
|
||
|
|
required functions of Performance Tools over a distributed environment. This
|
||
|
|
topic contains a description of these two features, the functions they each
|
||
|
|
contain, and information about how to use them most effectively.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Performance Tools is available with two separately installable features.
|
||
|
|
This topic explains the differences between the two features to help you decide
|
||
|
|
which feature is more appropriate for your applications.</p>
|
||
|
|
<dl><dt class="dlterm">Manager feature</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>The Performance Tools Manager feature is a full-function package, intended
|
||
|
|
to be used on the central site system in a distributed environment or on a
|
||
|
|
single system. If you require analysis of trace data, viewing data graphically,
|
||
|
|
viewing system activity in real time, or managing and tracking system growth,
|
||
|
|
the Manager feature of the Performance Tools licensed program is more useful.</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">Agent feature</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>The Performance Tools Agent feature, with a subset of the Manager function,
|
||
|
|
is a lower-priced package with the more basic functions. In a distributed
|
||
|
|
environment, the Agent feature works well for managed systems in the network
|
||
|
|
because the data can be sent to the Manager if detailed analysis is required.
|
||
|
|
It is also an effective tool for sites that need a reasonable level of self-sufficiency
|
||
|
|
but have no expert skills available.<p>The Agent feature of Performance Tools
|
||
|
|
provides functions to simplify the collection, management, online display,
|
||
|
|
data reduction, and analysis of performance data. The Performance explorer
|
||
|
|
reporting function and its associated commands are included in the base option
|
||
|
|
in the Performance Tools for <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> licensed
|
||
|
|
program and, therefore, are available with either the Manager feature or the
|
||
|
|
Agent feature. The major Performance Tools functions not contained in the
|
||
|
|
Agent feature are performance and trace reports, performance utilities (job
|
||
|
|
traces and the select file utilities), system activity monitoring,
|
||
|
|
and performance graphics.</p>
