Robot/AUTOTUNE
Automatic,
expert performance monitoring and tuning
If your company's iSeries has slow response time,
your staff's productivity goes down. iSeries performance is a major concern of
every IT manager. If your iSeries isn't performing, your users become
frustrated and your IT department and its manager look bad.
What causes poor
performance?
Poor iSeries performance results from uneven workloads and not configuring the
system to handle shifting workloads. A lack of sufficient memory in the right
place at the right time is also a factor. Another cause is users who run batch
work interactively.
Fixing the problem
You have three options to correct poor performance:
1. Become an expert on performance tuning and
manually set pool sizes and activity levels. Unfortunately, slower response
times often return since your iSeries' use changes constantly.
2. Install additional memory or upgrade your
iSeries model. The obvious drawback to this option is cost. Memory and model
upgrades are very expensive.
3. Use an automatic performance tuner. Robot/AUTOTUNE
is the most reliable automatic performance tuner available for the iSeries. It
tunes your iSeries automatically and continuously without the high costs of a
human operator or expensive memory upgrades. Order

Never out of tune
Set Robot/AUTOTUNE to monitor your system use at a specified interval--5, 10,
15 seconds. It adjusts memory so it is used efficiently, while using only 15
seconds of CPU time per hour. Robot/AUTOTUNE works at the operating system
level using artificial intelligence techniques to provide peak iSeries
performance all day, every day.
Real-time performance monitor
How do you know when your iSeries systems are performing at their peak? Robot/AUTOTUNE's
real-time performance monitor gives you the answers--easily, graphically, using
the least resources.
Robot/AUTOTUNE continually measures five vital
indicators of iSeries performance: memory allocation, CPU utilization, disk
space consumption, transactions per minute, and response time. Using a PC
display, it graphs these measurements for up to 25 iSeries systems in your
network. If a performance reading exceeds a standard, Robot/AUTOTUNE puts a
performance event on the Robot/NETWORK Status Center. It even notifies you with
a pop-up window or sends a pager message using Robot/ALERT.
Tuning interactive
jobs
Robot/AUTOTUNE monitors interactive jobs to see if a user is running a batch
job interactively. These jobs take over system resources and make the system
perform poorly for everyone. When Robot/AUTOTUNE finds batch work being
processed interactively, it reduces the run priority of the job. When the batch
work is done, Robot/AUTOTUNE automatically returns the interactive job to its
normal run priority. It's easy--and effective.
Server tuning made easy
The iSeries is the ideal Domino server. It can run a number of servers on the
same machine, each in its own subsystem--great for reliability and scalability,
but a performance-tuning nightmare.
Robot/AUTOTUNE has the solution! It tunes
dozens of subsystems for maximum performance. The result is great Domino server
performance day after day with no effort on your part. Contact

Pool party!
Robot/AUTOTUNE offers another unique feature--dynamic pools. Because batch jobs
take up large chunks of CPU resources, other jobs take longer to process.
Robot/AUTOTUNE uses a breakthrough technique of isolating each batch job in its
own dynamic pool as it is submitted. When the job finishes, the pool is
removed. Join the party!
Job queue management
On a typical system, jobs in low-priority queues sit and wait while jobs in
higher-priority queues process. Use Robot/AUTOTUNE's job queue management
feature to assign low-priority queues to a rotation group and allocate dynamic
pools to the group. As jobs complete, Robot/AUTOTUNE rotates through the group
until all jobs in all job queues have run.
Performance problem
prevention
Robot/AUTOTUNE's detail and summary reports show you your iSeries' performance
patterns. Use the Good Morning Report to summarise your performance statistics
each day. To help you spot memory problems, run the Memory Demand Report.
Simple installation
and setup
You can install Robot/AUTOTUNE in a few minutes. Then, you can customise it by
specifying minimum and maximum pool sizes and minimum activity levels. Robot/AUTOTUNE
can even maintain two sets of performance factors for day and night
environments and switch between them at pre-set times. You'll see improved
iSeries performance in just minutes.
