Neoview System Monitor
Client version 1.2 of the Neoview System Monitor works with Release 2.3 Service Pack 3 and
subsequent, including Release 2.4, of the Neoview platform and provides these new features:
• Tracing/Playback controls allow you to record a Neoview System Monitor session and save
it as a binary file. You can limit the recording to a user-defined number of minutes or a file
size specified in kilobytes. Later, you can play back the session.
• Timelines can now show multiple metrics simultaneously. The trend line for each metric
uses the color specified for the metric in the Color Options tab.
• You can show, hide, or change the color of segment separator lines in the system monitor
screen.
• For segments that are averaged using the aggregation options, the bar color now changes
to reflect a metric that exceeds its 100% setting.
For more information, see the Neoview System Monitor Quick Start.

Release 2.4 introduces these new Neoview Transporter features:
Support for the DELETE Operation as an Option in the Transporter Control File

on the primary key as the default behavior, or as specified by the "condition" option in the
map section. To enable this feature, specify the "delete" keyword as the operation type in the
Transporter Control File:
operation = "insert" | "update" | "upsert" | "delete"
The default is "insert".
