Systems Analysis

Solving Mysteries

Not every mystery has a one dimensional answer. Most systems tools like the SuperVisor's Cross Reference or IBM's Operations Navigator, while excellent products and useful for understanding many aspects of a system, are unable to answer open ended questions. Questions like, "How did that happen?", or "Why is that this way?", may represent a convergence of several seemingly unrelated factors. Solving these "mysteries" sometimes requires a tailored analysis. SuperVisor's Systems Analysis Tool Set provides this capability.

Empowering the Analyst

SuperVisor's Systems Analysis empowers analysts by enabling them to create their own comprehensive and targeted solutions by providing the following capabilities:

• The ability to extract information about any and all aspects of the the system, and any and all objects stored on the system.
• The ability to apply user-defined logic to any analysis.
• The ability to span several operating environments, computers or LPAR's.
• The ability to perform recursive or nested analyses, which entails using the results from one step in an analysis to drive another.
• The ability to aggregate, filter, summarize and manually manipulate results at any step.
