A notable omission from the list of performance analysis tools has been pointed out by a shy(?) denizen of info-WASD. It *was* a product name that I did recognise and I really should have included, "not a complete list I'm sure", disclaimer with the article. PERFDAT Data Collector ---------------------- "VSI PERFDAT performance solution for OpenVMS addresses today’s OpenVMS customers’ most urgent performance management issues by providing an unprecedented level of insight into multi-system performance at low cost.
