I fall right in between both of you. I also enjoy the "snail" feature which easily identifies slow running jobs as well as hung jobs that haven't moved data in awhile. However "real time" it is, I do experience lag time and use it more as a guideline than gospel. This is my alert to go check the Activity Monitor for specific jobs and act on them.

This statement is absolutely false. Bringing up the Command Center Dashboard, I can see the status of all of the running jobs - jobs that are long-running are flagged with a little clock. Jobs that are running slowly are flagged (I forget the symbol for that - might be a snail). Both of those cases have the job details flagged in red versus the blue for the normal jobs. All jobs include KB, KB/sec, elapsed time, and the time data was last written for th job. The real-time job summary gives me the number of active jobs, queued jobs, completed jobs, etc. The screen shots on Aptare's web site don't currently include the Command Center dashboard, but it's been there in every release I've run over the last few years. .../Ed -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential information of Northwestern Mutual.
