7. Features
TRIM Provides Control! "We use TRIM's Real-time Monitor to check performance on our four databases. It lets us see which programs and which files are used the most, and which users are accessing the system the most. With that information, we can then tune our system to run those programs with maximum efficiency. And, if a program is updated or accidentally purged, for example, we can use TRIM to read the ADABAS Protection Logs directly to find out who did it, when, and from what terminal. We use TRIM daily - it helps to keep us in control.” Allen Lamb, Senior Data Base Analyst Alton Ochsner Medical Foundation New Orleans, Louisiana

11. Features
Batch Slowdown - Enables the site to slow down certain batch jobs to improve on-line response times.
Performance Control and Security - Dynamic Control and Security facility
disallows inefficient commands
locks out file access
plugs ADABAS passwords
performs security checks.

12. Features
Command and Protection Log Processing - batch facilities for processing ADABAS Command and Protection Logs.
Flat files or hardcopy output to assist in performance tuning, chargeback, and capacity planning.
Reduction of Command Log Data
TRIM Dynamic Logging for detailed, selective logging
TRIM PRESUM facility condenses Command Log data by pre-summarizing it in an ADABAS user-exit.

13. Features TRIM Offers Insight!
"TRIM gives us insight into what's happening in a real-time mode. And that kind of CONTROL is important because it lets us react to problems before they're even reported to us! With TRIM, we can track down problem programs and monitor response codes on-line, plus the batch reporting capability is great for review the following day.”

14. Features tRelational Support (tRELOG)
tRelational is TSI's ADABAS-to-RDBMS data analysis and migration package
tRELOG provides tRelational with information about ADABAS data usage
Monitors activity against specific ADABAS files to identify:
Which descriptors were used on each file during the monitoring period
How often each descriptor was used
The volume of update versus retrieval activity for each file
Can assist in ADABAS tuning efforts

15. Often we hear "But TRIM requires a big Command Log. " This is false
Often we hear "But TRIM requires a big Command Log." This is false. You can do a lot of Performance Monitoring without any logging. And, the log we produce can be a summarization log. Some users run with single cylinder dual logs and get all the statistics they need from our summary log. Of course, if you want all the detail, we'll log it.
TRIM Utilizes
