The IBM Tivoli Performance Analyzer (ITPA) is a component of the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Infrastructure. It analyzes data stored in the Tivoli Data Warehouse to forecast future trends and values, using both linear and non-linear forecasting models. This session walks through the technical installation and usage of ITPA for both product provided and custom data forecasting, and shows how it can be applied against both z/OS and distributed data to aid performance and capacity planning efforts.
