GiAPA

GiAPA pinpoints performance problems on System i
GiAPA from iPerformance watches over all active jobs on System i every 15 seconds, and will identify those jobs causing performance problems on the system.
 

GiAPA benefits

• Management gets overview information in graphical format. (See sample to the right)
• Programmers get feedback at statement level making it easy to adjust the code.
• Operations know why System i is having problems.

Results obtained by GiAPA

• CPU response times reduced from minutes to seconds
• Batch runs reduced from hours to minutes
• Forecast on capacity utilisation as the number of users increases
• Postponements of expensive hardware upgrades

Want to know what GiAPA can do for you?

Get a free Performance X-ray report based on data from your system from two days. An analysis is made based on your data and the default threshold values. The free report tells you which jobs are having the largest input on your system, and how your CPU is coping with the performance load. Use this report to decide whether your want a “GiAPA Health Check” with complete information and feedback from the two days, or a “GiAPA license” which enables you to at any time find out the cause of your performance problems. 

GiAPA basics

GiAPA only uses 0,1% CPU of one processor, even though data on all applications are collected every 15 seconds. Whenever a performance problem is found, based on the defined threshold values for e.g. CPU% or disk I/O, GiAPA creates a "hotspot". In depth performance analyses can then be made dynamically based on the identified hotspots.

One popular feature is optimization of index creations. GiAPA automatically collects data when a temporary index is created. This information can be used to evaluate whether some of the temporary indices should be permanently defined, so that they do not need to re-create them each time they are run.
