<div><p>There are many options available to help you identify and resolve
|
||
|
|
performance problems. Learn how to use the available tools and reports that
|
||
|
|
can help you find the source of the performance problem.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>Most of the tools that collect or analyze performance use either
|
||
|
|
trace or sample data. Collection Services regularly collects sample data on
|
||
|
|
a variety of system resources. Several tools analyze or report on this sample
|
||
|
|
data, and you can use this to get a broader view of system resource utilization
|
||
|
|
and to answer many common performance questions. For more detailed performance
|
||
|
|
information, several tools generate trace-level data. Often, trace-level data
|
||
|
|
can provide detailed information about the behavior and resource consumption
|
||
|
|
of jobs and applications on your system. Performance Explorer and the <span class="cmdname">Start
|
||
|
|
Performance Trace (STRPFRTRC)</span> command are two common tools for generating
|
||
|
|
trace data.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>For example, if your system is running slowly, you might
|
||
|
|
use the system monitor to look for problems. If you see that the CPU utilization
|
||
|
|
is high, you could identify any jobs that seem to be using an unusually large
|
||
|
|
amount of resources. Then, you may be able to correct the problem by making
|
||
|
|
configuration changes. However, some problems will require additional information.
|
||
|
|
To get detailed information about that job's performance you could start a
|
||
|
|
performance explorer session, gather detailed information about that job's
|
||
|
|
behavior on the server, and potentially make changes to the originating
|
||
|
|
program.</p>
