Alert Management

SNAPSHOT/TSC can easily be set up to handle performance-related alerts. These are independent of OS/400 alerts.

A SNAPSHOT/TSC alert could be as simple as "User David has used more than 15% of Interactive CPU". Version 6 can 'handle' this via dropping his priority from 20 to 30. If he does it again, send a message to the operator.

SNAPSHOT/TSC can also monitor a given message queue and 'react' using its Alert handling support.
