Manage samplers

A sampler makes observations of the state of one or more target IMS subsystems. Samplings are taken 24 hours a day, two times a second by default or as defined by user-specified sampler parameters.

The observations are accumulated to provide a projection of the continuous state of IMS subsystems and are displayed in views.

There are the following types of samplers:

  • CORT (components of transaction response time) samplers observe transaction processing states.

  • Workflow samplers observe region usage, resource consumption, and processing throughput.

    Tip

    You can offload workflow sampler processing to zIIP processors. For more information, see the MainView for IMS and MainView for DBCTL Customization Guide.
