SOS-Second Opinion Service
SOS is a capacity planning service performed by Midrange Performance Group (MPG) or your
IBM business partner. The SOS facility within PerfNav provides a convenient way to send performance
data to MPG. The screen is shown below:
When you click “File/SOS…” on the main menu the
SOS form is displayed. The SOS form allows you to:
1. Select the desired AS/400 (your machines will
be listed)
2. Select the type of data to be sent
When you click the “Continue” button, the data will
be retrieved from the AS/400 and written to a file
on your PC named “SOS_1012345.GPD” (where
1012345 is the AS/400 serial number). Next, the
Performance Navigator® integrated email form will
display. You should fill in your email information
and click send.
If, for any reason (e.g., firewall, network connection,
etc.), the integrated email facility is unable to
transmit the file, you should close Performance
Navigator’s email window and send the PC file using
your normal email program (e.g., Notes, Exchange,
etc.). The file should be mailed to
“sos@mpginc.com”
