Analysis and planning methods

With QPF, you can customize monitoring, warning, and preventive action features of the QPF_OPTIONS command to the particular requirements of your IMS environment, system by system. To ensure that you set the QPF options for maximum benefit to each IMS system, you must analyze the types of overflow problems that have occurred in the past and the day-to-day queue usage of each system. This type of analysis will help you identify specific actions to keep these problems from affecting your IMS availability.

When you collect and analyze, the collected data includes historical data on queue overflow occurrences in each IMS system and data on normal processing cycles for each system.
