The QMF HPO/Manager consists of a group of functions that improves governing and object management capabilities, including a preemptive governor to analyze QMF queries. The governing capabilities allow you to establish controls that protect production applications, while delivering "on demand" information. Many governing parameters are included, such as time of day, day of the week, maximum number of rows to fetch, allowing and disallowing SQL verbs and QMF commands, and controlling resource consumption based on the use of QMF commands and SQL statements.
