SmartProduction® identifies production batch problems in IBM z/OS (MVS) environments related to job flow and application resource consumption and provides z/OS batch tuning solutions. SmartProduction® can detect a wide range of production performance inefficiencies (over 350) which, when resolved, can dramatically reduce system resources utilization (e.g., CPU and I/O) and significantly cut job elapsed run times.


SmartProduction® detects batch tuning opportunities in the following areas:

• Identifying jobs performing unnecessary or obsolete work.
• VSAM Data Set tuning.
• VSAM Buffering tuning (NSR, LSR in batch, BLSR optimization).
• Optimizing Sort executions (DFSORT, SyncSort).
• Optimizing Utilities executions (IEBGENER, IDCAMS, IEBCOPY, DFSMSdss, FDR)).
• Optimizing Storage Management Utilities executions (DUMP, DEFRAG).
• DB2 application performance optimization and exception detection.
• DB2 Housekeeping utility executions optimization (DSNUTILB, BMC Plus series, DSNTIAUL) .
• Identifying inefficient COBOL compile options.
• Recommending Data-in-memory (VIO, LSR in batch) usage.
• Exposing the volume of Operational delays.
• Monitoring Data Set Compression and Striping usage.
• Auditing Workload Manager (WLM) behaviour.
• Identifing DASD over-allocation.
