Assessing Your Current Application and Database Environment

To plan migration to NonStop SQL/MX, start by assessing the application and database

environment on the current system to:



determine what applications will be affected by the migration and what changes

you will need to make to complete a successful migration to NonStop SQL/MX.



obtain performance information about the current system, including CPU loads,

disk drive usage, and application and database performance. All this information

provides a reference point for setting and achieving performance objectives for the

migrated applications and database.

Use these tables to gather information about your current application and database

environment:



Table 1-2, System Configuration, on page 1-6



Table 1-3, Database Applications, on page 1-7


