I understand that there are a couple popular z/VM performance monitors. What I'd like to better understand is what you may do to automatically collect that data and feed it into something for capacity planning, forecasting, etc. Regards, Pat Downs [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ________________________________ The information contained in this e-mail and any accompanying documents may contain information that is confidential or otherwise protected from disclosure.
