HP GlancePlus for MPE/iX Enhanced

Software Technology Division
This version of GlancePlus, the Hewlett-Packard online performance
diagnostic tool offers new functionality, added configurability, and
greater ease of use. As with each previous version, its usefulness in
real business situations has been guaranteed by customer prototyping in
production environments.
Disc Screen Enhancements
The Disc Screen has been enhanced in several ways. For systems with many
disk drives, we now only show disks that have some activity. To see all
disks, the "A" command can be used just like in any other screen.
To help characterize the disk queue length, we have added a column
showing the average queue length for each disk since GlancePlus has been
running or since the last "Z" command was issued.
The disc screen now shows the average disk utilization by displaying an
asterisk in the disk utilization line for each disk.
Configurability and Ease-of-Use
The idea of PROCKEYS=CONTINUOUS has been extended to cover the Queue
change and User (list Users of a file) commands. When ProcKeys are set
to continuous, GlancePlus continues to prompt for more changes until you
press RETURN without a new command. This feature allows you to perform
more changes in a shorter amount of time.
