Our Vision – Putting information to work for you

Gather database statistics at regular intervals

User-defined policies and thresholds

PoliciesPolicies SensorsSensors


Rich, web-based user interface

Recommending and taking corrective actions

ModernizationModernizationAutomationAutomation

Sensors….gather database statistics at regular intervals

Works with you – your way – in your environment:

� Integrated in regularly used utilities– HP Image Copy(FF and FP), HP Pointer Checker, DB Reorg Expert, FPA

Analyze, FPA Reorg, FPO Analyze, FPO Reorg


� Automation of sensor capture– Autonomics scheduler ensures sensor data capture at frequency that you

require

� When you need it!– Ad-hoc / job scheduler batch submitted sensor capture

Policies…User defined policies and exceptions

� Policy definitions are used to evaluate specific database states– Threshold values are compared against sensor data for a given database or group of

databases

– When thresholds are met or exceeded, exceptions occur

� Works “out of the box”– Ships with predefined policies and threshold values


– Ships with predefined policies and threshold values

– Full ISPF interface provided for policy management

� Customizable to fit your shop– You can define your own sets of threshold values

– Customize the messages sent when exceptions do occur

– Specify who receives which messages and how• WTO, e-mail, or text

Automation…Recommending and Taking Corrective Actions

� Passive Autonomics – Automates collection and analysis of Sensor Data

– Recommends when databases should be reorganized• With email or text notifications

– Enables DB Reorg Expert’s conditional reorg

– Provides a scheduling feature that allows you to control how frequently sensor data is collected and how frequently policies are evaluated


sensor data is collected and how frequently policies are evaluated– Flexible scheduling around pre-defined PEAK times

� Active Autonomics– Actively initiate recommended actions on user-defined database groups

• Discovery feature for identifying related database groups

• Ability to manage and coordinate reorganization of multiple IMS database

groups as if reorganizing a single database

• Flexible scheduling only in pre-defined Maintenance windows

On the road to a smarter IMS

� Conditional Reorganization - DB Reorg Expert− Sensors determine need for reorganization

− Reorganization only runs if needed

� Notifcation of exceptions− Email, text messages

− Alert DBA to consider taking action


� First we had IMS Tools Knowledge Base– Report Repository

– IMS Tools Utilities updated to write their reports to a repository by database

� Then we developed Sensors and Policies: – Sensor capture

– Policies pre-loaded by database type

– User-customizable

− Reorganization only runs if needed

− Pre/Post reporting

Autonomics and DB Solution Pack

� Sensor Data Capture

– Standalone sensor

– Integrated utility sensor capture – DB Reorg Expert, HP Image Copy,

HP Pointer Checker

– Autonomics control sensor capture

� User Group Definitions

� Policies


� Policies

– Pre-defined policies

– Policy definition and customization

– Policy evaluation and action determination

– Exception notification

� Reporting

– Centralized report repository for DB Solution Pack utilities

� Conditional Reorganization

� Group Reorganization Management

FPA/FPO ANALYZE

– Free Space Availability

– Overflow Status

– Randomizing Synonyms

– DB Record Length (Avg. & Max)

– Physical I/O

• DB record level

• Root level All DEDB rules that are provided by Tools Base Policy Services

Using Administration Console for DEDB space monitoring and analysis

� Benefits

– You can get a global view of database space

status automatically on a web browser

• Diagnosis of the status is done automatically by

Autonomics Director by applying policies on

automatically collected sensor data Admin. Console


– You can get an integrated online help that guides you to relevant information populated in ITKB

repository by various IMS Tools

– You can view the trend of sensor data

• To understand the past activity

• To predict the future change/trend
