COMMON POWERUp 2026

IBM i often runs well with little or no focus on the performance of the system. But what if something unexpected occurs? If you understand the performance signature of your system when it is running well, it becomes much easier to identify and resolve problems if something goes wrong. This session will show you how to use the Performance Data Investigator with Collection Services data to understand your day-to-day performance signature. This session will review many key charts that can be found in the Investigate Data task, as well as how to understand what those charts mean in the context of IBM i performance.
