Why Wait? Resolve Contention Problems with iDoctor Job Watcher

Monday October 26, 2026 9:00am - 10:00am EDT

TBD

Contention problems prevent applications from scaling and must be resolved in order to improve performance. Adding hardware resources, such as additional CPU, memory, or faster disk will not improve the performance of applications that have contention issues. This session will show how IBM iDoctor Job Watcher can be used to identify and resolve contention problems. This session will review how to start with Collection Services data to initially identify what should be looked into further, then using Job Watcher data to reveal root causes of contention. The session on wait accounting is a recommended prerequisite for this session.
