Overview
IBM Application Performance Analyzer for z/OS®, an application program performance measurement tool for use on IBM z/OS systems, measures and reports on how system resources are used. You can use Application Performance Analyzer to measure applications executing in any z/OS address space, for example a step in a batch region, transactions executing under an online subsystem (such as IMS(TM) or CICS® transactions), a TSO region, and so on. Measurement is performed during an "Observation Session." During such a session, Application Performance Analyzer makes repeated observations of the process being measured. Application Performance Analyzer helps you maximize the performance of your existing hardware resources and helps you improve the performance of your applications and subsystems.
Application Performance Analyzer aids the application design, development, and maintenance cycle. It evaluates application prototypes in the design phase, reviews the impact of increased data volume or changes in business requirements on performance, and generates historical data and reports to analyze performance trends and evaluate program changes for cost effectiveness.
