CA-Endevor is an APF-authorized product that can install and maintain software. Is that similar enough such that it needs to be examined? I have no idea. However, if you don't know what the exposure is, it will be darn hard to evaluate it. Don Williams -Original Message- From: IBM

Yes, I'm aware of uncaptured time but since i just want to know the most idle system, i think there is no problem in ignoring uncaptured time (which seems to be a % of system utilization). After correcting the formula, it shows results similar to %EAPPL of RMF Monitor III. Thanks for your time.
