Use the workspace to:

  • Monitor activity rates within a structure
  • Track structure utilization over a period of time
  • View structure data for a true coupling facility situation
  • View comprehensive global and false contention data

Analyzing Coupling Facility Connections

You can analyze a specific coupling facility structure to view the connection status of all connections to the structure.

From the Coupling Facility Structure table view, right-click a structure name and then click Link to --> Coupling Facility Connections. The Coupling Facility Connections workspace is displayed. This view shows the connection status details for your coupling facility structure.

Based on the information that this workspace provides, you can recommend changes, set up situations, and verify that your recommended changes improve system performance.
