Abstract: Reliability and performance of complex applications executed across workload groups of one or more host computer systems may be improved by automating the verification of consistent policies across the workload groups. An automatic verification process may be executed on a host computer system to identify workload groups that are not collecting statistics, to identify polices that are not enforced on certain workload groups, to identify policies that are not in force for certain periods of the day, and to identify policies that are disabled. Where an application has a complex configuration, the automatic verification process allows an administrator to identify inconsistent policies.

Abstract: Method, system, and programs for analyzing data records, to easily identify problems with saved data, facilitate data retrieval and file report optimization. In an embodiment, the user is presented with a visual representation of the data records to alert the user of any problems, omissions, or errors in the data.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is a technique to manage elapsed time performance. Current baseline statistics on N performance components are obtained for a set of programs belonging to a single workload group. N current component performance values associated with the N performance components are obtained in a current measurement for the set of programs at the beginning of a current monitoring cycle. A control component is selected from the N performance components based on the current baseline statistics and the N current component performance values. A control value is applied to an operation corresponding to the control component in the set of programs. A next monitoring cycle is waited for.
