<h1 class="topictitle1">Set up your environment to manage performance</h1>
<div><p><span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> servers
include powerful applications for managing system performance. However, they
must be properly configured in order to meet the specific needs of your unique
business environment. Learn how to configure applications to routinely collect,
monitor, and analyze performance data.</p>
<div class="section"><p>The <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> server
includes several tools that regularly collect system performance data and
monitor your system for performance trends and potential problems. Your unique
requirements and environment will determine both the tools you choose to invest
in and the configuration choices you should make. Effectively setting up your
system will allow you to do accurate capacity planning as your system grows
and to resolve performance problems when they occur.</p>
<p>Use the following
topics to learn about and configure tools that will collect, monitor, and
analyze your system performance.</p>
<dl><dt class="dlterm">Collection Services</dt>
<dd>Collection Services manages the routine collection of your system performance
data. This tool regularly collects data and creates archives called collection
objects. These collection objects may be accessed directly by some tools or
converted into sets of database files for analysis with your own custom queries
or by other tools and reports. Because Collection Services mainly provides
data for other applications, the other tools you are using will significantly
affect your configuration choices, including how frequently you collect data,
the types of data you collect, and the length of time you will keep the data
on your system.</dd>
<dt class="dlterm">PM <span class="keyword">iSeries</span></dt>
<dd>PM <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> uses Collection
Services to gather non-proprietary performance data, and sends it to IBM<sup>®</sup> for storage
and expert analysis. This eliminates the need to store and maintain it yourself.
You can then access detailed reports and recommendations about your system's
performance with a web browser.</dd>
<dt class="dlterm"><span class="keyword">iSeries Navigator</span> monitors</dt>
<dd>The monitors included in <span class="keyword">iSeries Navigator</span> use
Collection Services data to track the elements of system performance of specific
interest to you. Moreover, they can take specified actions when certain events,
such as the percentage of CPU utilization or the status of a job, occur. Use
this topic to learn how to use these monitors and how to set them up on your
system.</dd>
