Graphical would be nice, I'd settle for an API I could get the raw data from myself. Personalyy while the sentiment is nice that you'd rather the developers spend time on fixing problems they introduce in their patches, If you've ever had to diagnose & debug a problem with performance or operation, as much data as possible about what's happening is invaluable. If you can't get the data out of the system, you might as well use a worse system, that at least you CAN see what's happening. >Mark > >-----Original Message----- >From: Hamish Marson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >Sent: Thursday, June 27, 2002 7:15 AM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Shortfalls in tsm/adsm > > >Hi. > >reading a recent post on why people love tsm vs networker brought back a >lot of memories.
