How often are SmartProductions various job and data set cases reviewed for applicability with todays newer technologies?
Specifically, SmartProduction cases address the following: a) Traditional tuning methods/issues/solutions “Traditional” tuning methods/issues/solutions (e.g., blocksizes, VSAM buffers, operational delays) are usually well-known and relevant in all data centers. SmartProduction exposes the size and impact of such known performance issues, which might not otherwise be fully recognized. When applicable, SmartProduction also provides advanced solutions for these issues (see below). Although these issues may seem elementary, they will provide much savings. Our experience shows that in most data centers, millions of I/O operations can be eliminated each day by tuning blocksizes and VSAM buffers of only a few data sets! b) Advanced tuning methods/issues/solutions Various SmartProduction cases address new features and options that have recently been added to various systems and products. Examples include: – General cases suggesting the usage of data-in-memory techniques (e.g., Hiperbatch) – Ca
