The system was almost busy in a day and crucial processes such as Sales Processing,PLU processing,Warehouse processing,EYE datamart processing etc were running everyday. But in last month the performance has come down and system response time was very bad.

Now the performance is good. I would like to know how does an IPL change the system performance. Could somebody throw light on system performance in regard to number of processes executing, memory dependency, no of interactive sesssion open, etc Thanks in advance.

The display of the IPLs on this screen consists of 4 values:. Manual mode also allows you to do some manual control functions, such as selecting an IPL type and mode or displaying the kind of IPL that the system is set to run.

Note: You should set the mode to Manual only when it is necessary. This ensures that no one accidentally presses the Power pushbutton and causes the system to stop. It can also be used to power off the system.
