Paes orca} CA Detector for z/OS technologies CA Detector® for DB2 for z/OS (CA Detector) provides in-depth analysis capabilities designed to help you to identify the programs and SQL statements that most significantly affect your DB2 system performance—regardless of whether these SQL statements originate from CICS, IMS, Batch, TSO, J2EE, ODBC or other connection mechanisms. Overview ‘As enterprises rely more on their DB2 database applications, high performance and ongoing reliability become increasingly important. IT organizations must locate, analyze and control resource-hungry or poorly performing D82 applications and SQL to optimize performance and ‘minimize resource consumption. CA Detector provides in-depth analysis capabilities designed to help you identify the programs and SQ statements that most significantly affect your DB2 system performance, CA Detector can be implemented alone or to complement such traditional real-time performance monitors as CA Insight” Database Performance Monitor for 0B2 for 2/05 (CA Insight). Business value CCA Detector is a DBZ application performance analysis tool that helps you optimize SQl and conserve resources, Moreover, the product also helps to minimize development costs by identifying poorty performing SQL during the application development cycle, well before itis released into a production environment. CA Detector for DB2 for 2/05 technologies Features CCA Detector has adopted key features that are designed to simplify your use of CA Detector and ‘enable your staff to install, deploy and maintain it more effectively and quickly. + CAMainframe Software Manager™:CA Mainframe Software Manager (CA MSM) is, designed to automate CA Detector acquisition, installation, deployment, configuration and maintenance and remove SMP/E complexities. CA MSM helps save time and resources when ‘compared with the manual steps used to perform these tasks, = TheSoftware Acquisition Service helps you to more easily move product installation packages and maintenance from CA Support Online directly to your mainframe environment and prepare them for installation, = TheSoftware Installation Service standardizes CA Detector instalation, which includes ‘anew, streamlined Electronic Software Delivery (ESD) method that allows CA Detector to be installed using standard utilities, This service also provides standardized SMP/E product instalation and maintenance via APARs and PTFS, and simplifies SMP/E processing through an intuitive graphical user interface and an intelligent Installation Wizard. — TheSoftware Deployment Service helpsyou to more easily deploy CA Detectorin your mainframe environment. = The Software Configuration Service helpsyou to more effectively configure CA Detector ifithas been acquired, installed, maintained and deployed using CA MSM, * Installation Verification Program (IVP) and Execution Verification Program (EVP): ‘As part of qualification for inclusion in the set of CA Technologies mainframe products released every May, CA Detector has passed stringent tests performed through the IVP and EVP tofind and resolve interoperability problems prior to release. These programs are an ‘extension of our ongoing interoperability certification initiative launched in May 2009. * Best Practices Guide: This quide provides information on CA Detector installation, initial configuration and deployment to shorten the learning curve for staff who are responsible for the installation and management ofthis product. CA Detector for DB2 for 2/05 technologies What's new in Version 16.0 *DB2 10timestamp support: The CA Detector host variable displays now support DB2 10 ‘TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, "B29 Universal Table Space: CA Detector history tables can now be defined as partition- bby-growth (PBG) objects. History tables are no longer subject to space limitations. * Increase Exception Cache Size: CA Detector now supports an exception cache size up to 20m, * Audit Collection User ID: CA Detector now logs the user ID of the person who starts and stops a collection. * Dynamic SQL Unique SQL Statement Identifier: CA Detector now provides a unique statement identifier for dynamic SQL across collection intervals, This identifier makes it ‘easier to monitor statements across collection intervals for performance and trend data. * Stackable Intercept Routines Support: CA Detector now runs without failure when passing control to DB2 components, existing competing entry points, and DIT collection routines. ‘This support enables CA Detector intercepts and other applications to collect information from the same DB2 subsystem, "Updated Metrics Displays: The CA Detector panels have been updated to display metrics in logical groupings by metric type, The batch processing utility has also been updated to reflect these changes and provide consistency between the panels and batch reports. "New Collection Interval Metrics: CA Detector provides support for new collection metrics. for stored procedures, XML, and user-defined functions. * SAF based authorization checking: CA Detector now supports SAF (Security Access Facility) based authotization checkling, With this support, you can use CA ACF2, CA Top Secret, or IBM RACE to control access to CA Detector instead of using D82 plan based authorizations. Other key features * Collection activities: Using tow overhead technology, CA Detector helps you to monitor the ‘5QL statements that are processed by the DB2 system, 24 hours a day. This helps you gain a ‘comprehensive view of DB2 activities, better understand application workload characteristics and more easily identify resource-intensive application components, — SQL sources: CA Detector collects SQL activity from a wide variety of sources—including, ‘online and batch mainframe applications using static SQL, client/server applications, reporting applications and such ERP systems that access DB2 via dynamic SQL as PeopleSoft and SAP. In addition, data warehousing applications using dynamic or static ‘SQL, and host variable values can also be collected. 3
