IBM provides many performance tools but what does each tool do and when is the best time to use it?  This session will help answer those questions by providing an overview of many iSeries Navigator and green-screen performance tools that can be used to collect performance data, view historical data, and analyze performance issues.  Learn which tools to use to provide your "first level of defense" for preventing serious performance problems and understanding system performance.  Learn which tool to pull out of your toolbox if a problem does occur and you need to analyze and fix the problem.

By the end of the session, attendees will be able to:
1. Learn what performance data to collect and monitor to help identify performance problems before they cause system down time.
2. Learn how to use tools that provide a view of historical performance trends and help you plan for changes in system growth.
3. Learn how to get started with tools that help analyze and fix performance problems.
