Tool Isolates and Helps Resolve Application Performance Problems, Simplifying Testing and Tuning Processes

NAPLES, Fla./ on 3 January 2005

ASG, an enterprise software and professional services provider to Global 5000 companies, announced today the availability of ASG-SmartTune™, a new performance monitoring and tuning solution for mainframe applications.

Designed to help development personnel and production analysts quickly resolve issues that impact application performance, ASG-SmartTune measures and analyzes the performance characteristics of mainframe applications, subsystems and jobs in test and production environments. It provides both real-time and historical performance statistics and the ability to drill down to and view actual lines of code, enabling developers and analysts to easily pinpoint areas within an application that require tuning.

“ASG continually strives to enhance its Applications Management product family, and ASG-SmartTune greatly extends ASG’s application monitoring, testing and diagnostic toolset with the ability to pinpoint and resolve problems with application performance,” said ASG President and CEO, Arthur L. Allen. “ASG-SmartTune streamlines application testing and tuning processes, eliminates unnecessary use of CPU time and I/O activity and improves batch turnaround time and online transaction response time for e-business applications.”

An integrated solution for pinpointing and resolving issues that impact application performance, ASG-SmartTune:

  •  Analyzes real-time and historical data for faster problem resolution
  •  Monitors production systems with minimal-impact
  •  Automates application monitoring and provides scheduling functions
  •  Isolates performance problems in existing applications
  •  Identifies code bottlenecks and the impact of increasing workloads in testing
  •  Enables developers to drill down and view actual lines of code

ASG-SmartTune is part of the testing and diagnostic toolset, which also includes:

  •  ASG-SmartScope™ for fault diagnosis and dump management
  •  ASG-SmartTest™ for interactive testing and debugging
  •  ASG-SmartFile™ for file and data management

ASG-SmartTune runs on z/OS® and OS/390® operating systems and monitors subsystem components such as CICS®, DB2®, IMS and VTAM®. It also monitors applications running in these environments.

Starting at $35,000, ASG-SmartTune offers aggressive pricing versus comparable products from other tool vendors. For a product demonstration or for more information, contact your ASG account executive at 1.800.932.5536 or visit send an e-mail to info@asg.com.
