Expetune Modernization Guide

Expetune analyzes SMF records to identify performance bottlenecks and resource consumption patterns. It can pinpoint issues in COBOL load libraries, VSAM datasets, CICS SIT options, and PL/1 source libraries.

Expetune can generate multiple FreezeFrame, Application Performance Analyzer, and Strobe measurement jobs to provide detailed performance insights.

Expetune audits COBOL load libraries, VSAM dataset usage, CICS SIT options, and PL/1 source libraries to identify potential performance issues.

Expetune primarily uses configuration files to define analysis parameters and output formats. The exact syntax and structure of these files are detailed in the product documentation.

Expetune's architecture includes components for data extraction, analysis, and reporting. These components communicate through internal APIs and data queues.

Expetune supports standard SMF record formats. It extracts data from these records for analysis and reporting.

Expetune helps optimize application performance, leading to reduced resource consumption and improved system efficiency. This translates to lower operational costs and better service levels.

By identifying and resolving performance bottlenecks, Expetune helps organizations meet service level agreements (SLAs) and maintain optimal system performance.

Expetune leverages the security features of the z/OS platform, including access control lists (ACLs) and role-based access control (RBAC), to protect sensitive performance data.

Expetune provides audit logging capabilities to track user access and modifications to performance data. These logs can be used for security monitoring and compliance purposes.

Expetune provides a command-line interface (CLI) for administrative tasks. User management is handled through z/OS security facilities like RACF or ACF2.

Expetune generates detailed logs that can be used for monitoring and troubleshooting. These logs capture information about data extraction, analysis, and reporting processes.

Expetune's configuration parameters include settings for data sources, analysis algorithms, and output formats. These parameters can be adjusted to optimize performance and customize reports.
