I wrote the application about 15 years ago when we were then VMark Software. I believe that would make it an internal IBM tool. I have several other performance measuring tools that I use at customer sites when analyzing system, application, and other performance issues.
The set of tests are likely not complete, but I have several hundred tests covering various aspects of the run machine, as well as file based operations, overflow, oversize I/O, messaging, sockets, and the like. I also add tests to answer specific questions that come up during customer sites when chasing anomalies in applications. One of these days I will get around to compiling my customer travesl into a performance tuning book! Alas, it keeps finding its way to back burners. Sigh. Much of the material in the UniVerse Theory and Practice course came from my publications and internal documents. One advantage of the many nights in hotels around the U.S. and occasionally the world, is I have the free time to do work on these things, when not fatigued from doing it all day at a customer site. One of the more interesting evening projects produced a set of programs using transaction logs for maintaining a backup server as either a fail over machine or as a report server to offload that kind of work from an OLTP production server. I believe a previous poster some months back, had mentioned doing something like that as well. > From: "Stevenson, Charles" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Mark, > What are these timing tests? > They kinda look like the tool PI has.
