BATCH-WATCH<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

In information systems mostly based on IBM\u2019s z\/ OS platform, batch processing is still of strategic importance.<\/p>\n

The classic batch window, typically processed during off hours, represents a criticality from the point of view of respect for production processing targets and SLAs.<\/p>\n

For this reason, batch processing is kept under control, but too often just from a details point of view, thus trying to analyse and solve the issues that arise on individual executions, typically jobs and scheduling networks.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

RES IT, which has been one of the premier leaders in the field of optimization of the batch processing environment for decades, proposes a different but complementary approach based on an overall and integrated methodology, which takes advantage of the technologies provided by RES Suite, making it possible to \u201cgovern\u201d and monitor the behaviour of batch applications.<\/p>\n

This methodology, developed over the past several years in numerous projects for large customers, is based on a series of indicators and metrics which are very useful for better control of processing. It integrates with existing monitors and it is used for targeting any possible areas that can benefit from additional optimization.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

THE BATCH-WATCH SOLUTION<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The fundamental objective of Batch-Watch is to correctly address the monitoring in two main macro- areas:<\/p>\n

Procedures and scheduling<\/strong>
\nA more efficient processing environment requires an analysis of the issues closest to the organization of the procedures themselves, in particular of the characteristics of specific planning along with the relationships\/dependencies between processes at all levels (Applications=>Scheduling Networks=>Job=> Step).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Systems and storage<\/strong>
\nIt is essential to understand the duration and behaviour of batch applications in relation to the use of available HW\/SW resources. In this case, the potential for optimization actions are related to the tuning of systems,subsystems and optimum utilization of available resources.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

OBJECTIVES AND FUNCTIONALITY<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

System perspective: breakdown of processing durations and technology factors From the \u201csystem\u201d point of view, the duration of each critical path (timeline) can be broken down into its primary processing segments to better understand where time is \u201cspent\u201d.
\nEach time-segment limits the potential areas of technological intervention (e.g. specific tuning rather than HW upgrades), highlighting their impact and therefore the maximum possible benefit on the overall duration<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
