Neoview Performance Analysis Tools
The current software release introduces these new features in the Neoview Performance Analysis
Tools:
A new field, QUERY_TEXT, is included in Live View. This field shows the SQL text.
A point-and-click interface for configuring Workload Management Services (WMS) services
and rules. If you are an administrator (ROLE.DBA, super.services, and super.super by
default), you can now use the NPA tools to:
— Add, alter, and delete rules
— Display all rules associated with a given service
— Associate rules with service
— Display all services associated with a given rule
— Export server-side rules
If you are any user, you can now use the NPA tools to:
— Highlight queries that triggered a rule, and view rules that were triggered for running
queries

HP Database Manager (HPDM)
Changes in HPDM for the current software release include:
A new "Monitoring" area that includes a new "Monitoring" tab. The Monitoring tab provides
a graphical interface with performance monitoring of seven key metrics:
— CPU Busy
— Disk I/O
— Cache Hits
— Dispatch
— Swap
— Free Memory
— Queue Length
The metrics can be displayed in bar-graph, timeline, or hybrid format, and their display
parameters are fully configurable. System status icons provide an at-a-glance summary of
the health of these subsystems:
— Connectivity
— Transactions
— Disks
— Alerts
An "Alerts" tab (under the Monitoring tab) that provides ROLE.DBA, super.services, and
super.super, by default, with access to detailed alarm and dial-out information. The Alerts
tab enables administrators to act on system problems by acknowledging, annotating, and
closing alerts. The display of alert information also is fully configurable.
A "System Offender" tab (under the Monitoring tab) that provides greater visibility into
potential runaway queries (queries that consume excessive processor or memory resources).
