FEATURES/BENEFITS The PAWZ Environment The Performance Analysis Web Zone environment consists of the PAWZ Server (WindowsNT operating system) and PAWZ Agents (OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX operating systems). The PAWZ Server June 1999 AE-RH6KA-TE The PAWZ Server communicates with the PAWZ agents in the transfer of data files to and from the agents. The data is generally pulled at pre- scheduled times but can also be pulled upon request. The data is stored by the PAWZ Server in an SQL Server database where it is later retrieved and displayed for analysis by the PAWZ Web in- terface. Before beginning the PAWZ Server installation process, your personal computer must be running Microsoft Windows NT Server V4.0 (Service PAK 4), must have installed and be running both Microsoft SQL Server Ver- sion 7.0, and Microsoft Internet Information Server Version 4.0 (avail- able on the Microsoft Options PAK V4.0). WEB Interface PAWZ is a web-based tool that lets you manage, view, and analyze your data through an independent web based browser interface. PAWZ V1.0 sup- ports Netscape Navigator[R] V4.5 and Microsoft Internet Explorer[TM] V4.0. The web interface is used by both Administrator and User accounts to perform all PAWZ functions. It is through this interface that Ad- ministrators perform Administrative duties like account creation and node policy management. PAWZ users view data and analyze data presented to them on this web site. Administrator and User Levels PAWZ offers two user levels, an Administrator level and a User level. The Administrator level lets the PAWZ Administrator manage the PAWZ environment. The Administrator creates and registers accounts, cre- ates profiles, and manages the PAWZ web site. The User level lets PAWZ users view performance data for analysis pur- poses.
