- Job Watcher
- Job Watcher displays real-time tables and graphical data that represent,
in a very detailed way, what a job is doing and why it is not running. Job
Watcher provides several different reports that provide detailed job statistics
by interval. These statistics allow you to determine things like CPU utilization,
DASD counters, waits, faults, call stack information, conflict information,
and more.
- Java Watcher
- Java Watcher
provides invaluable information to aid in debugging some of the most complex
problems in the area of Java and WebSphere®.
- PEX Analyzer
- PEX Analyzer evaluates the overall performance of your system and builds
on what you have done with the Performance Tools licensed program. The Analyzer
condenses volumes of trace data into reports that can be graphed or viewed
to help isolate performance issues and reduce overall problem determination
time. The Analyzer provides an easy-to-use graphical interface for analyzing
CPU utilization, physical disk operations, logical disk input/output, data
areas, and data queues. The Analyzer can also help you isolate the cause of
application slowdowns.
- PTDV
- The Performance Trace Data Visualizer for iSeries (PTDV)
is a tool for processing, analyzing, and viewing Performance Explorer collection
trace data residing in performance explorer database files. PTDV is a free
component of iDoctor for iSeries.
