This gives me the ability to run queries over the log data. Our applications are defined in such a way that each application uses a separate subsystem. I handle this by presenting a user with a simple menu that gives them the ability to launch the application in the appropriate subsystem via the TFRCTL command. This subsystem separation lets me track application availability simply by monitoring when a subsystem starts and ends. This data is easily available from queries I run against the converted QHST data. We take these start and end times and merge them into a spread sheet that calculates downtime for PRIME SHIFT and OFF SHIFT. We also add entries to this spread sheet to note downtime for events like system upgrades and other system maintenance procedure or an event that my not result in a subsystem ending such as a communication failure that results in no one being able to log in. I then prepare charts from this data that show the percent of time an application is available in PRIME SHIFT and ALL SHIFTS over time. I also include general system performance graphs too. I've attached one of my daily report packages as an example. I also post the last page of this report around the building so all of our end users can come to realize how reliable and most importantly, available our AS/400 system is! If you would like more information than this, feel free to contact me. Kenneth **************************************** Kenneth E.

This will require me to monitor several jobs and track when they are and are not running and then somehow log them into a database and perform reporting on them to indicate down times and such. Does anyone know of such a tool already designed to perform such a task or what have others used? Any input is appreciated, especially if I do not have to reinvent the wheel.
