- Provides information on the efficiency of OSAM cached buffers in a coupling facility, and shows the effect of changing the amount of storage allocated to OSAM buffers in CF
- Models user changes to the buffer pool configuration to see the impact before they are implemented
- Identifies wasted storage and determines if adding or subtracting buffers will improve the performance of a selected buffer pool
- Identifies which databases most heavily use each subpool, performs “what if” scenarios analysis, and visualizes the impact of change before it is too late
