OpenVMS Performance Management...featuring Wayne Sauer
Course Code: 708
Length: 5 Days
Course
Description:
This
course addresses the topic of system performance on the OpenVMS computer
system. Common performance
issues are examined with suggested recommendations for improving
performance. The course focuses attention on the components of the OpenVMS
system that affect performance. Various programming techniques and
practices are considered that may affect system performance. The course
length is five days and incorporates our Lab+Lecture format.
- Isolating performance bottlenecks to one of the three subsystems.
- Effects of SYSGEN parameters on each of the subsystems, when to change these parameters, and when other management modifications or the purchase of new hardware will be required.
- Sufficiency (keeping the system running), as well as tuning considerations.
- The relative merits/drawbacks of using AUTOGEN.
Who Should Attend
OpenVMS system managers, applications programmers and system programmers.
Prerequisites
Completion
of the OpenVMS System Management II course, as well as 3-6 months of
experience in system management.
