Key Features

• Disk space management
  Manage disk space quickly and easily across your IBM i partitions through a familiar Windows-style graphical interface. Quickly view the data you need, such as the cause of sudden increases in disk usage. Track, locate, and report on IASP resources, create user-defined applications for each file analysis, and set commands to notify you when changes occur.
• Spooled file management
  Improve your spooled file management with automatic distribution, archiving, and deleting capabilities. Distribute spooled files automatically based on report data like file name or job name, and export files for easy sharing. Never have to re-run a job again just because a user loses thier printout - automatically archive spooled fileson near-line or off-line storage.
• Performance analysis
  Get up-to-the-minute performance statistics and trends for multiple IBM i systems and partitions. Customize your data's text and graphical displays in the way that makes the data clearest for you, and then quickly identify what actions to take by reviewing on-screen performance graphs and drilling down to job details. Build reports on system performance that can be easily published over your intranet or online.
• Log file monitoring
  Watch the integrated file system (IFS), QSYS.LIB, and other file systems for application messages that sneak in outside of your message queues. Without increasing your monitoring footprint or overhead, you can easily detect log file content that could indicate an issue and quickly prevent service interruptions. You can also configure this feature to send alerts based on the content.
• SLA reporting
  Store service-level agreement (SLA) statistics for reporting purposes.
