Lightweight interface for AD Analyze Client

RFE opened on behalf of BNPP
BNPP wants a lightweight interface for operational specialist. Loading a java-based client such as the Eclipse-based IDz environment is too complex and unsuitable for the purpose of browsing operational data, through the AD Analyze Client.
BNPP would like to have the same information stored in the AD databases available through a lightweight interface.

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us. However, your request for enhancement is not currently aligned with our product strategy and vision and we have no plans to address your request in the near future. Again, thank you for your suggestion and continued support. We suggest that in lieu of this requirement that you could vote for the following RFE: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=141224

    The ADDI bundle, and the ADDI Extensions more specifically, already can import and analyze performance data coming from OMEGAMON for CICS and APA/SMF. This data gets stored in a data warehouse for further processing and the web interface allows to review the data in an easy to digest way and can help the user determine the root cause analysis for a production performance degradation. Furthermore, the performance data can be paired with the Static Analysis data coming from IBM Application Discovery to pin point a specific transaction/program/artifact which was recently changed and might be reason for the performance change.

    I'd highly suggest to watch the 5 minute ADDI product video, or at least the root cause analysis part starting at the 3:27 mark: https://www.ibm.com/ca-en/products/app-discovery-and-delivery-intelligence

    Hello, this is related to the RFE 146294. BNPP will want to see these operational data in a lightweight interface. Thank you.

    What type of operation data are your looking for? Is this operational data beyond what it currently provided by IBM Application Discovery?
