Perhaps I mis-worded my reply. While SYSVIEW can provide the informatiion one could derive from SDSF, SYSVIEW is, in my mind, primalrily a system monitoring tool. If I want to keep an eye on my system, I turn first, in this shop anyway, to SYSVIEW. I want to know who's sucking up the processor, or exceeding desired channel utilitzation, I turn to SYSVIEW. If I want to set some threshold alerts, I turn to SYSVIEW.
