Abstract
IBM Application Performance Analyzer Plug-in for Eclipse provides a graphical user interface to IBM Application Performance Analyzer for z/OS.
Download Description
IBM Application Performance Analyzer Plug-in for Eclipse provides easy access through a graphical user interface (GUI) on the workstation to Application Performance Analyzer for z/OS. The GUI encompasses both the Observation Request and Reporting functions, including the R02 screens list, detail views, edit functions and reports for the Observation. The GUI can be used for submitting new observation requests and for navigating the performance analysis reports generated from observation requests. The GUI can display and provide functions to multiple components of Application Performance Analyzer at the same time. The major views include:
- STC View, that lists all active started tasks
- Observations List View, that lists all observations
- Observation Detail View, that provides details of an observation
- Reports List View, that lists all reports for an observation
- Report View, that displays an individual report
Here is a screenshot of the Application Performance Analyzer GUI plug-in in action:
