for Administrators

It's easy to see why RAPTOR4 is the world's best reporting package for IBM DB2 Content Manager OnDemand. Not only does it answer the tough questions you get on a regular basis, it gives you unprecidented insight into how your system is being used, how storage is allocated, and lets you generate graphs and charts to help you get your point across quickly and easily. Keep reading to find out just a few of the questions RAPTOR4 answers, why you shouldn't have to suffer through another day without it... How do I improve performance? RAPTOR4 helps you optimize your Cache Filesystem by identifying Application Groups with poor performance, and measuring usage of those Application Groups. Then, RAPTOR4 suggests the optimal amount of caching to ensure over 99% of retrieval requests come from cache, in under a second! Can I increase reliability too? Absolutely. For any administrator who has had to clear TSM session queues, or logged in late at night to add cache storage, and had to answer a flurry of pointed questions about the problems, RAPTOR4 is a blessing. Performance reports identify potential issues before they turn into page-out problems. Where did all my disk go? You've probably asked yourself that a hundred times. Find out how your Cache and TSM Storage is being allocated in seconds with RAPTOR4's Occupancy reports. Reports break down all storage by Application Group, so you can instantly identify the Application Groups with voracious appetites for storage. How fast is my system growing? Never before has Capacity Planning been so easy and so accurate. In addition to charting existing capacity, RAPTOR4 provides up-to-date current growth statistics, so you can keep pace with your constantly changing environment. How can RAPTOR4 pacify my pager? If your pager is constantly beeping because of load failures, poor response time, or because the system is down for backups, you need RAPTOR4 to help you manage your system. RAPTOR4 gives you deeper insight into how your system is being used, and when - knowledge is power. When should I run my backups? When you need to take outages for backups, maintenance, or upgrades, the first question is usually "When can we do this so production won't be affected?". RAPTOR4 produces activity reports that show you the best times for outages based on actual end user and production activity. How does it work? RAPTOR4 is installed on the OnDemand Library server and collects data from the OnDemand System Log, the Operating System, and Tivoli Storage Manager. While RAPTOR4 can be scheduled to run regularly with UNIX cron, its command line interface is easy to use interactively. RAPTOR4 processes one month of data in as little as 5 minutes - and provides output in an Excel-compatible Workbook, containing multiple worksheets with individual reports. Output files can be saved directly to a web-server directory, eMailed automatically as an attachment, or transferred via any binary file transfer method. How do I add custom reports? RAPTOR4 includes many more reports than are described here. If you have custom report requirements, contact the RAPTOR4 sales team for information on adding custom requirements to your RAPTOR4 purchase -- chances are that your 'custom' report has already been written!

How do I optimize? Here's a brief outline of how RAPTOR4 allows you to optimize your IBM DB2 Content Manager OnDemand system. Identify Candidates Use the Document Retrieval Performance Report to find Application Groups with poor retrieval performance. The pink bars on the right show a high volume of retrievals with response time between 10 and 90 seconds - OUCH! Get Actual Usage Use the Optimization Report to find out how long documents are being accessed. The blue area on the chart shows that documents are being accessed for far longer than they're being cached (in yellow). Adjust Retention You can estimate your retention requirements manually, or get recommendations from the Overview Report. RAPTOR4 also calculates how much cache storage the optimal setting requires, automatically! Monitor Results Use the Cache Occupancy Report to determine how your changes are affecting the usage of your cache. You can chart all Application Groups in a pie chart, or examine trends by selecting a single Application Group over time. Schedule Outages One last thing -- here's how RAPTOR4 breaks down activity to help you schedule outages. This chart shows all activity by Day of the Week -- but you can chart individual activities to minimize impact to users or production processes.
