metrics that will enable you to efficiently and effectively assess DB2 performance in your particular environment. Drawing on over 25
years of experience in analyzing and using information in monitor reports and displays, and in DB2 command output, I'll describe in this
two-part presentation the fields that contain the highest-value information and how to use it.
