Future Webinars
Understanding Page Faults and Their Influence on Uncaptured Time ..... NOTE - Due to Hurricane Milton, this webinar was rescheduled to October 30th. Our thoughts are with all who were affected by these storms. ..... Sign up has ended. Please see Our Presentations page if you would like to download a copy of the presentation slides
This webinar is a back-to-basic webinar about memory management and page faults. Recently, there has been talk about the influence of first reference page faults and their influence on uncaptured time and capture ratios. Since uncaptured time translates to MSU consumption, it is always interesting to explore what contributes to these MSUs. Besides, what is the difference between a demand page fault and a first reference page fault? After attending this webinar with Peter Enrico, you will be more familiar with z/OS memory management, page faults, and uncaptured times.
Response Time Goals: Average or Percentiles? ..... November 20th ..... Sign up using this link
In this webinar, Scott Chapman will discuss why one would want to use response time goals and the difference between using average and percentile response time goals. While percentile goals are used far more often than average goals, there are situations where average goals may be more appropriate. After this webinar, you’ll have a better appreciation for when average response time goals provide better transaction management.
Understanding and Using Enclave Measurements ..... December 11th ..... Sign up using this link
Enclaves on z/OS are used for a variety of purposes, but the most common usage is for DB2 DDF transactions. Recently, additional and new enclave measurements have been added to the SMF data to help understand enclave transactions performance and CPU usage. During this webinar, Peter Enrico will review the concept and usage of enclaves. Then, he’ll provide an inventory of the most useful enclave measurements and how those measurements can be used to evaluate the performance of your enclave workloads.
