EPV for z/OS
EPV helps you to control and optimize hardware, software and applications in order to reduce costs and improve service levels.
EPV for z/OS Resource provides a complete vision of the “health” condition for all critical resources of your systems, especially those shared amongst different z/OS systems such as processors (including zAAP, zIIP and crypto), disks, physical control units, coupling facilities and channels.
EPV for z/OS Workload provides a complete vision of all the workloads running on your systems. Utilising extensive drill-down capabilities, you can explore workload performance and consumption at the address space or transaction level. EPV for z/OS Trend vision provides daily and monthly productivity and resource consumptions trends at the system and workload levels.
EPV for z/OS Configuration provides a detailed report of the hardware and software configuration for the z/OS and OS/390 environments, including the total dasd space by provider and physical control unit.
EPV for z/OS is available in two modes: standard or Plus. EPV for z/OS Plus is an “out of the box” solution that interprets the needed SMF records and all the other input data required.
EPV Graph for z/OS
EPV Graph for z/OS integrates EPV for z/OS , adding graphical functionalities which allow
you to analyse in a simple intuitive way. All the graphics are automatically produced without the need of any other tools, and includes a graphical engine
that enables you to customise your own graphs. The produced graphs are ready to be used
in any word processing tool and can be easily integrated into your documents.
Using drill down techniques it’s possible to navigate in the graphs to analyze CPU utilization by machine, LPAR, workload and subsystems, up to the most critical Address Spaces; a similar vision is provided for disk space utilisation. Provides daily and historical information about the throughput in IMS, CICS, DDF, TSO, MQ, WEBSPHERE e Batch transactions, globally at the enterprise level and detailed by workload and system type.

TWS/Graph - Graphics, Documentation and Monitoring for TWS
TWS/Graph displays your TWS data in a way you have never seen before: Jobstreams, applications, operations, schedules, jobs, dependencies, resources etc. as netplans.
TWS/Audit - The Change Control System For Your TWS for zOS
TWS/Audit tracks and captures all changes made to TWS for zOS. That makes it easy to detect modifications, insertions and deletions.
TWS/BatchAD - The System for Convenient Mass Updates
This useful interface to the definition databases of "TWS for zOS" performs mass changes, cloning and/or maintenance in batch mode. Productivity is increased by minimizing dialog usage.
TWS/BatchCP - Automation for the Current Plan
TWS/BatchCP is an add-on to TWS for z/OS. It is designed to help you in the automation of your production planning and control. It modifies multiple occurrences, operations, special resources, and external and internal dependencies in batch mode.
WebViewer - Distribute Netplans and Barchart via the Web
The WebViewer is a Java application that enables you to distribute net plans and bar charts over the Internet. It supports all graphics created by XINFO or TWS/Graph: Application and operation net plans, TWS and SMF bar charts, dataset flow charts and much more.

Dynamic SQL Cache Control - A White Paper
Buffer Pool Tool is the proven and accepted industry standard software for tuning DB2 for OS/390 buffer pools. As the only product that can predict the effect of sizing and threshold changes, or moving objects into different or totally new pools - it remains the only way to remove the guesswork from pool tuning and guarantee that tuning changes will provide performance gains. Attempting to tune without being able to predict is merely guessing about the outcome - and pool size increases don't always, or necessarily, provide a performance improvement. Since the most important performance metric is the I/O rate/second, Buffer Pool Tool predicts this, predicts the System Hit Ratio, and predicts the working set sizes of all objects at different pool sizes, and/or in different pools.
Coupling Facility Sizing Module
Sizes the CF structures based on statistical data from your 'operating' DB2 system(s). This an included component of, and requires, the Buffer Pool Tool.
Buffer Pool Optimizer™
Eliminates the Effort of Tuning your DB2 for OS/390 Buffer Pools
Buffer Pool Optimizer™ provides the complete configuration and sizes for your buffer pools, and properly group your objects into the required number of pools, to optimize your performance based on the amount of memory you can allocate for DB2 buffer Pools. It removes the analysis time and effort from your pool tuning activities, and allows you to focus on other areas that may provide additional performance benefits. The Buffer Pool ToolŪ is a pre-requisite for Buffer Pool Optimizer.
DASD Performance Analyzer -
DASD/Xpert for DB2
Provides device, dataset, and Cache performance analysis, graphic representations and relationships, tuning analysis & recommendations to improve your DB2 DASD performance.
