Job Watcher

Job Watcher displays real-time tables and graphical data that represent, in a very detailed way, what a job is doing and why it is not running. Job Watcher provides several different reports that provide detailed job statistics by interval. These statistics allow you to determine things like CPU utilization, DASD counters, waits, faults, call stack information, conflict information, and more.

Java Watcher

Java Watcher provides invaluable information to aid in debugging some of the most complex problems in the area of Java and WebSphere^®.

PEX Analyzer

PEX Analyzer evaluates the overall performance of your system and builds on what you have done with the Performance Tools licensed program. The Analyzer condenses volumes of trace data into reports that can be graphed or viewed to help isolate performance issues and reduce overall problem determination time. The Analyzer provides an easy-to-use graphical interface for analyzing CPU utilization, physical disk operations, logical disk input/output, data areas, and data queues. The Analyzer can also help you isolate the cause of application slowdowns.
