To be fair, he failed to include his affiliation in his sig. I regard
that as an innocent mistake, but still a mistake.

You still an employee of CA Norman   ???.
If so, perhaps you should make that more obvious when plugging CA products
like this.

Shane,

Norman's never been a product pimp, even when he was with Candle.  He's 
never hid his company affiliation, so I think you're off-base here. 
Norman's one of the good guys.


As far as SYSVIEW itself, it's a nice product, but SDSF has caught up with 
and surpassed it in JES spool browsing, IBM has added many of its dynamic 
functions, and TASID, SHOWMVS, and MXI provide most, if not all, of the 
display capability, for a lot less $$$'s.  Given CA's outrageous price 
increases and the fact that they stripped capability from Legent license 
holders, I no longer recommend SYSVIEW.


Regards,
Tom Conley

He may not hide his company affiliation, but as someone who follows
ibm-main via the newsgroups, I can say that there is no indication in
his posting that he works for CA.  Possibly those of you following
ibm-main via email can see a CA-based email address, but the newsgroup
users cannot.

Therefore, perhaps users mentioning their own products should include
such relevant information in a signature block, which would be visible
to all.

Just my thoughts...

Walt

The same functionality in SDFS is included in CA-Sysview.  
And you don't have to leave your Performance Monitor for 
Spooling and Job Management activities.

Sorry if you didn't know that.  Most folks know who my current employer is.
Since many folks ask about CA products I try to answer them or connect them
to some one who can help them, I was a natural assumption.

Nor (in general) do we plug products. BMC has a nice functional
replacement for SDSF that also works on JES3, but with the added benefit
of offering integrated ISPF-LIKE functions browse/edit/search/compare
datasets, HFS files etc. But ooh, ah, blech it's a gooey and clearly not
what was being asked/discussed, so I did not even dredge it up.

I don't mind vendors giving the occasional plug for a product if its
fairly clear what the connection is. I was aware of Norm Hollander's
employer and I wasn't bothered by his, essentially a one liner, pitch.
I'd cut him some slack on it.
