IBM IMS Buffer Pool Analyzer for z/OS, 1.4

The IBM® IMS Buffer Pool Analyzer for z/OS® tool:

• Provides modeling facilities to assist with making informed decisions about the addition of buffers to an existing pool, or sizing requirements for a new buffer pool.
• Helps you determine the impact of buffer pool changes before they are made to take the guess work out of the process.
• Analyzes IMS database buffer pools (OSAM and VSAM) to provide statistical analysis of the impact of changes that affect the buffer pools.
• Provides I/O rates and buffering requirements for a specific database.
• Allows for better allocation of real memory resources.
• Identifies databases that most heavily use each database subpool.
• Performs what if scenario analysis, such as identifying the impact of splitting a specific database into a new buffer pool.
• Determines the performance effects for a given buffer pool when you add or reduce the number of buffer pools.
