Strobe works by taking snapshots of an address space (like a strobe light) and counting how many times it sees a given state. Normally, you can just look for the largest number and work on making it smaller.
For example, the largest number might be on a given file. Make the block size larger, increase the number of buffers, move to a unit with less contention, etc. HTH -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stephen M. Wiegand Sent: Friday, August 11, 2006 9:34 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Strobe I'm wondering if anyone on this list might be able to help me out here or point me to a helpful web site. I'm working with a client who has the transaction analysis and monitor Compuware system called Strobe. I am not familiar with this system at all and the client has neither the time nor money to provide any training on it. As I need to make extensive use of it, I need to get up to speed on it as quickly as possible. So, if anyone has a 1 or 2 page cheat sheet that shows how to do the basic functions, i.e. start it, analyze a transaction or file usage etc., that they could share, I'd really appreciate it. I do not have access to any manuals as I work from home and the client is in another state. Thanks.
