Course Overview

IBM i Performance Tuning - II: Advanced Analysis and Capacity Tuning (OL66G) is an intermediate-level course by IBM designed for system administrators, performance analysts, and IT support specialists responsible for managing IBM i systems on Power Systems. While no specific certification exam is directly tied to OL66G, the course prepares professionals for advanced performance management and capacity planning tasks critical in enterprise environments. It targets roles such as IBM i System Administrator, Performance Analyst, and Technical Support Specialist, serving individuals at IBM clients, Business Partners, and service organizations. With over 150,000 IBM i systems deployed globally in industries ranging from finance to manufacturing, expertise in performance tuning remains in high demand for maintaining optimal system efficiency and uptime.

The course extensively covers key IBM technologies including the Performance Data Investigator (PDI), IBM Systems Workload Estimator (WLE), Collection Services, Job Watcher, and Disk Watcher, all accessed through the IBM Navigator for i web console. Students engage in hands-on lab exercises using real performance data to analyze system bottlenecks, configure monitoring tools, and interpret reports. In guided labs, learners configure and analyze data from Collection Services and Disk Watcher, perform run-time (run/wait) analysis, and use PDI to investigate QAPMSYSTEM and QAPMDISK data files. A key real-world scenario involves using PDI in conjunction with WLE to estimate performance requirements and plan capacity upgrades based on collected workload data, simulating actual enterprise planning tasks.

Completing IBM i Performance Tuning - II: Advanced Analysis and Capacity Tuning (OL66G) enhances a professional’s ability to optimize system performance and plan for future capacity needs, skills recognized through IBM’s official training badge for OL66G. Certified IBM i professionals report average salary increases of 15–20%, with senior roles commanding salaries exceeding $120,000 annually. Koenig Solutions supports this learning with Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling and access to official IBM courseware, ensuring uninterrupted training delivery. Graduates gain the expertise to lead performance optimization initiatives, directly contributing to improved system reliability and career advancement in enterprise IT infrastructure roles.
