Today's Featured Tip
================================================================
Quickly identify performance problems using V5R2 Display Performance
Data Graphics
Starting with V5R2, the Performance Tools for iSeries provides
graphical display of performance data contained in the performance
database files used by the various V5R2 5722-PT1 reports and the 5250
workstation-based functions available with the DSPPFRDTA command.
This new graphical representation enables you to more quickly
identify exceptionally high- or low-resource utilizations and compare
several performance metrics during the same collection time period,
such as (5250) Transaction Count, Total CPU Utilization and
Interactive CPU Utilization.
You can also view the active jobs and microcode tasks during the
collection period on one side of the window with the line graphs
shown on the other side of the window. And you can sequence the jobs
and tasks being displayed according to specific columns of
information. In addition, from the graphics window you can print the
System, Component, Job, Pool, and Resources report and view the
associated spool file.
This step-by-step guide by Jim Cook at the iSeries International
Technical Support Center shows you how to get started with this
graphics tool, how to select performance data and how to use some of
the functions.

Answers to Other Administrator Questions
================================================================
1. WebSphere Development Studio V5R2 loaded with new features
Since the announcement of V5R2 of WebSphere Development Studio for
iSeries, users have had a lot of questions. In this tip, David
Slater, iSeries AD Market Manager, and Jim Mason, president of ebt-
now, discuss the new features.
http://www.search400.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci826378,00.html
2. Will my tools work on V5R2?
One user writes, "My question has to do with application development
tools available on the new OS V5R2. For example, we are currently on
V4R5 and we mainly use SEU, SDA, and RLU to maintain our RPG III
codes. When we move to V5R2 can we continue to use these tools or
will we have to use different set of tools, such as WebSphere
studio?" Application development expert John Brandt responds.

3. V5R1 performance tools
"Lukelong" was looking for some information on the Performance
Collection Data and turned to the Search400.com Managing the iSeries
Forum for help. Fortunately, "Tanman" was on hand to offer some
advice.
