ZOOM SESSION (12:00 PM):

TOPIC: GiAPA (Global i Application Performance Analyzer for IBM i):”

Whether you want to improve your IBM i application performance, decrease resource utilization, or remove a limit to growth within your code, this tool will quickly guide you to what needs to be done. There is no tool like it on the market! Come learn about this truly a well-kept secret.

Join this session to learn how this tool will prioritize what should be changed on your system right down to the ‘line of code’. The automated analyzer will not only estimate the improvement expected (runtime etc.…) it will estimate the effort in programmer hours required to do the changes. Take the guess work out of application performance. The data collection piece of GiAPA is very much like IBM performance tools, it runs 24/7 and is extremely lightweight.
