Re: Searching for Graphing Vendor
At one time, I was exporting data from a VM monitor and sending it to a PC for manipulation by GNUPlot and ImageMagic to produce JPGs of the the system utilization data. The JPGs were retrieved from the PC for display by a webbrowser. That PC was running Windows (I had not started working with Linux yet). If I had to do it again, I would use a Linux based system to create the graphics but keep the same basic automation setup. If you have a spare PC lying around or a Linux/390 server in another LPAR, it would not be too hard to do. /Tom Kern --- McKown, John [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am likely confused.

You can also automate it pretty much the same if you run SAS on your PC and not the mainframe. Or use RMFPP(EXCEL macros) to make it pretty.

Re: Searching for Graphing Vendor
Alan, You may want to contact MXG (Barry Merrill) or Chuck H. Got to www.mxg.com they may have some ideas. Kevin -- Original message -- Hi, We're considering the possibility of sending SMF offsite to a vendor who produces graphs for management. It doesn't matter if they are physical graphs or whether they are made available online via a web page. Aside from IBM, can anyone provide some additional names of vendors who provide this service.
