OpenVMS System Performance Management
This course is designed to teach performance concepts relating to the OpenVMS system, and to use these concepts to develop a tuning methodology to interpret, monitor, and adjust performance mechanisms in OpenVMS.
 
Who Should Attend
OpenVMS system managers, applications programmers and system programmers.
 
Prerequisites
It is assumed that the student has successfully completed both the Fundamentals of OpenVMS (VP100) and the OpenVMS System Management (VP200) courses.
 
Benefits of Attending this Class

Upon completion of this course, students should be able to:

  • Understand fundamental performance concepts for memory management.
