Where are the JazzMon baselines?
Dave, as you know I am one of the biggest fans of the JazzMon tool. The tool can be utilized by our customers to monitor the behavior of their CLM servers, identify environmental and server issues/changes and track performance of key transactions. What is missing today is baseline data which could be used when evaluating the output from their servers. I understand that this is not a trivial request and that this baseline data can be heavily dependent upon workload. Have we considered providing sets of output for certain types of workloads? Have we considered working with our key customers to characterize their workloads/behavior and publishing these baselines? Have we considered providing a test repo and workload generator so that our customers could benchmark their environments?
Thanks again for your hard work and efforts to support our customers - Keep up the great work!

One answer
there are two baselines provided with the jazzmon package.. both from the jazz.net environment..
you must specify one of these (or your own) when doing an analyze.
we have been working with the performance team, due to issues we reported, and have not yet been able to get our workload to match the model used. I do pretty extensive analysis of the jazzmon baseline vs our daily runtime results, and am not yet sure we have a reliable baseline (and all our users have not been onboarded to RTC yet)
another question u ask, Have we considered providing a test repo and workload generator, is interesting..
if we could somehow capture the workload definition, so that we could do that, it would be great.. but so far such a tools is not available..
I spent many interesting weeks in the old IBM TPNS modeling lab in Raleigh with my customers IMS, CICS and DB2 workloads.. shame such a tool doesn't exist for these new non-mainframe applications.
