**** WHAT IS WATCHIT ? *****
Optimize IBM LAN SERVER. "Make your server serve"
Collect statistics about resource and user activity. Easily
analyze them and improve performance and anticipate capacity
problems.
WATCHIT automates collection of IBM LAN SERVER capacity and
performance statistics. WATCHIT will help you quickly and
easily improve performance and anticipate capacity problems.
Collection may be automated at the server or manually

warning messages during data collection or notification via
generic alerts, NET.ERR logging or simple messages. WATCHIT
graphs mean response, sessions, shares, bytes transferred,
print jobs, big buffer and request buffer allocations. Graphs
direct you to the detail information needed to improve
performance and expand capacity. IBMLAN.INI parameters can be
compared to the collected statistics to assist you in making
the proper settings. Session analysis provides information
to determine the number of connections required and file
opens. Analyze ALIAS access. Statistical data is exportable
for use in your favorite spreadsheet or database for further
analysis or archiving. The on-line manual includes operation
suggestions to help you "make your server serve".
