can be used by Event Scheduler to restore the
configuration to the same system, or it can be used (in
conjunction with Event Scheduler) to duplicate that
configuration on other similar systems you choose.
Software Inventory
Software Inventory enables the user to create and manage
software product dictionaries that can be used to easily
maintain an inventory of all application programs installed
on the system.
System Diagnostics Manager
System Diagnostics Manager enables you to initiate a
variety of diagnostic tasks on systems that support
ROM-based diagnostics. The results of all previously run
diagnostic sessions are stored and can be examined using
System Diagnostics Manager to help diagnose and resolve
system problems.
System Information Tool
The System Information Tool enables quick and convenient
access to detailed information on the hardware and
software configurations of the system. System Information
Tool gathers information about almost any computer;
however, the most detail is provided when this service is
used with IBM computers. This service is available for both
stand-alone and network use.
System Monitor
The System Monitor provides a convenient method of
charting and monitoring the activity of a number of
components in a system, including processor usage, disk
space used, and ECC memory errors. These convenient
monitors are detachable and scalable, enabling only the
monitors needed to remain available at all times. Use the
System Monitor Threshold Manager to set threshold levels
for any of the monitored components. When exceeded,
these thresholds will generate user-configured alerts.
Data is continually collected from the time the system
starts. A sophisticated data-handling technique is used to
weigh the individual values, average concurrent samples,
and post single values that accurately reflect long-term
system activity. This technique allows system activity
records to be maintained without creating enormous data
files. This service is available for both stand-alone and
network use.
System Partition Access
The System Partition Access allows for greatly simplified
system partition file handling, both locally and remotely.
Individual files and entire directories can be renamed or
deleted from the system partition. Individual files can be
