---------------------------------------------
Optim Performance Manager – Optim Performance Manager 4.1.1 is now available. We put a lot of focus on up-and-running improvements in this release. This includes embedding a lightweight web container to simplify installation, configuration, and security, simplifying our port infrastructure for Extended Insight support, improving the out-of-the-box monitoring templates based on customer experience and more. We have added pureScale-specific monitoring enhancements including pureScale monitoring templates, group buffer pool hit ratios, cluster facility lock wait time, escalations, timeouts, etc. We provided more flexibility for monitoring large DPF environments by separating collection intervals for bufferpool versus tablespace and table statistics, which provides more comprehensive information at a lower cost. We have also included DB2 Enterprise Server Edition 9.7 for use with Optim Performance Manager. For the complete list of features and more information, see the IBM Optim Performance Manager 4.1.1 release notes.


Optim Development Studio – Optim Development Studio 2.2.1.1 now also officially supports deployment on Citrix (I know several organizations that went ahead and deployed before our formal support was announced). It also includes two very cool items:

1. Integration with Optim Performance Manager – Now you can pull performance metrics into Optim Development Studio to assist in determining which SQL statements need a little more tuning and whether your tuning efforts are paying off. This integration requires Optim Performance Manager Extended Edition with Extended Insight monitoring configured.

2. Support for Sybase - You can connect to a Sybase database and browse catalogs, manage objects, create and run SQL scripts, and create, deploy, run, and debug stored procedures. Plus you can use the ANTs Software product IBM® DB2 SSacSA to connect to a DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows database as a Sybase database.

Remember, Optim Development Studio is available on Passport Advantage to most DB2 and Informix customers as part of their DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows, DB2 Connect, or Informix investment. Find it in the Linux or Windows eAssemblies. See IBM Optim Development Studio Version 2.2.1.1 Release Notes for a more information and download updates from Fix Central.
