DFW Food Trucks To Invade San Antonio
DFW Food Truck owners, as a group, are overwhelmingly generous, with huge hearts, especially when it comes to supporting someone who has been a long time supporter of theirs. Combine this with a food truck park owner who seeks out opportunities to host charitable events and you have a food truck event that is guaranteed to make a huge impact on the entire State of Texas!
On November 10 and 11, Good Karma Kitchen, Slush Works, Nammi, Easy Slider and The Drifting Bistro are expanding the scope of their generosity and invading San Antonio, to join forces with several San Antonio trucks to raise funds to Conquer Chiari. This fund-raiser will be held at San Antonio's Boardwalk on Bulverde Food Truck Park and is being coordinated by Cameron Davies, owner of both The Boardwalk and Cruising Kitchen, a San Antonio truck builder who built Good Karma Kitchen, Slush Works, The Drifting Bistro and several other Dallas-Fort Worth food trucks.
The Invasion will run 11:00 a.m - 11 p.m. on Saturday and 11:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. on Sunday. Proceeds from the event will benefit Conquer Chiari, on behalf of devoted food truck follower Michelle Malpica.
Michelle was one of my first followers and her love of the food trucks was immediately obvious to me. After a car accident in 2005, Michelle began to have significant heart palpitations, vertigo and severe head aches. After years of testing, she was diagnosed with Chiari Malformation, a very rare neurological disorder where the bottom part of the brain extends out of the skull to the spinal column, putting pressure on both the brain and the spinal column. After brain surgery, Michele's prognosis is very good but much is left to be done to bring an awareness to this condition and much research is needed to more effectively diagnosis and treat the disease.
I will be posting much more about this event in the coming weeks, including information about a simultaneous event to be held in Dallas to Conquer Chiari. For those that are able, I would love for you to join me in San Antonio to Conquer Chiari as the food trucks show that their support for one of their follower is as big as Texas.

"You gotta have goals...do you have goals??" Well, I do this week!
Sunday, June 19, 2011
After 7 weeks with barely losing 4 pounds, I decided it was time to take a close look at what I was doing, or not doing. This past week I have worked out everyday, watched what I was eating, especially after a not so good eating weekend last weekend. ...and for the first time in 5.5 months, I feel bad. I just don't feel good and I should feel great! I am on summer break for goodness sakes!
So I decided to actually write out my goals for the week, to help push me to a new level, to challenge myself, and hopefully help me bust out of the 160s.
Goal #1 - Cardio- 30 minutes everyday this week. I know that this will be pretty easy since I go to a 45 min TurboKick class at 6 a.m. MWF and *try* to run TRS. ...which brings me to my next goal...
Goal #2 - Run - 3 times this week. My hubby and I will run our 3rd 5K on July 9th while we are visiting his family in Baltimore. I set a goal to beat the time of my first 5K in April, 40:56, and try to actually do it in under 38:00. Didn't really get the running in this week...and it has been hard to get back into it after running my first race in April. So I haven't progressed over the last couple of months as much as I originally thought I would have...so here is the running plan for this week...
Tuesday - Walk 2 min Jog 3, repeat 5 times, total 30 min
Thursday - Walk 2 min Jog 3, repeat 6 times, total 35 min
Saturday - Walk 1 min, Jog 4, repeat 5 times, total 30 min
TMR for the week = 63 minutes
Goal #3 - Strength Training - 3 times a week for 20 minutes. I def see where this has been lacking for the last few weeks and I know that it will really help to melt the fat like butter! Here's my plan.
Tuesday - BL Last Chance Workout Upper and Lower Body Sculpt
Thursday - Same as Tues
Saturday - Denise Austin's Burn Fat Fast - Strength section
Goal #4 - Ab work - each evening this week. The workout:
2 sets crunches
2 sets reverse crunches
2 sets side twist crunches
2 sets bridges
2 sets bicycle crunches
2 sets mod. push ups (ok, not necessarily abs but they do work the core)
2 mod plank hold 30 seconds each
Goal #5 - 5 Fruits/Veggies a Day. I certainly see where I have went astray on this one!
Goal #6 - WATER! Drink 4 "big cups" of ice water each day. Supposedly drinking ice water speeds up your metabolism...I just really like cold water!
Oh yeah... Goal #7 - NO CHOCOLATE! After my cousins bridal shower on the 21st of May, I ended up with all the leftover chocolates and nuts. Go figure! I have been eating chocolate everyday for the last few weeks, just a piece or two each, ...well, uhm,...maybe a bit more...but now I ate it all. So much for all my fitness minutes I accumulated each day.
So here's to an amazing, awesome, active week!!!

On April 4, 2014, "America's Got Talent" held auditions at the Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The show's judges (Howard Stern, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel and Mel B) were there, and so was host Nick Cannon. "America's Got Talent," NBC's top-rated summer series, returns in 2014 with performers from across the country ready to compete in the blockbuster reality show's ninth season, which premieres on May 27, 2014.
With the talent search open to acts of all ages, "America's Got Talent" has brought the variety format back to the forefront of American culture by showcasing unique performers from across the country. The show features a colorful array of singers, dancers, comedians, contortionists, impressionists, jugglers, magicians, ventriloquists and hopeful stars, all vying for their chance to win America's hearts and the $1 million prize. Here is what Mandel said during a red-carpet interview at "America's Got Talent" Season 9 auditions in New York City.
Mel B and Heidi Klum joined "America's Got Talent" in 2013. How do you think they're doing on the show now?
I think they're more comfortable. I think there is a nervousness that I felt when I first joined. You don't know. You feel like the new kid in class.
And now that we're all settled in, everybody's really comfortable with each other, everybody's really comfortable with the show. So I think this year is even more fun and exciting than it's ever.
What was the most romantic thing you've done for your wife?
We redid our [wedding] vows. Thirty-four years we've been married. Her vow was, "Enough already!" I don't know if it's romantic, but it's a nice gesture. That was it. She just came downstairs and said, "Enough already!"
What's the secret to staying married in Hollywood and not getting divorced?
She will tell you the secret. I feel like the luckiest guy in the world to have this lady. She would tell you the secret is that I'm on the road. She's in L.A., and she says that's what makes this relationship work. I think the distance makes me tolerable.
What else can you say about your family life?
My daughter is married. It's weird that I have a married daughter.
How was the wedding?
It was wonderful. [He says jokingly] She's 11, so it was more of a play date.
Do you like her husband?
I do. He does all the music for my shows. He's a great guy.

PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER: Six years after Comcast Corp. moved into the city's tallest building, the cable-TV and Internet giant expects to break ground this summer on an even taller, more dazzling, $1.2 billion tower…
One of the world's leading architects, Britain's Norman Foster, has designed the trophy building with a host of innovative features. Comcast announced the project Wednesday with Gov. Corbett, Mayor Nutter – via a video link from Seattle, where he was attending a conference – and Council President Darrell L. Clarke…
The city and state have committed $40 million in grants to the project, officials said. At 59 stories, the new tower will have about 1.5 million square feet of rentable space… (more)
EDITOR: Talk about 'alms for the rich.' Between such absurd giveaways of today's tax revenues and pledging future taxes to pay off current investments under CRIZ, will anything be left for education and other vital needs?
Whatever happened to Republican Party conservatism? Now it appears to be all about picking the pockets of the middle class and the poor.
Isn't it enough that Comcast socks us with huge CABLE bills without it obtaining public subsidies?
We need a federal law prohibiting states and cities from funding new development. It is at great public costs and is of zero overall benefit.

Once, when men still felled trees for timber by hand and women did everything else, there was born a boy name of John Brown. For John Brown, this was it. Time to be an adult. Things looked stormy for John Brown, and it was just then that he met Goliath—Goliath was a bureaucracy, and she ate the money of innocent children to survive.

Abel and Nayeli wedding book, pictures taken by Edgar Rosales and Josefina Rosales
I started doing graphics design back in 2001. That year I was introduced to Photoshop. I started editing picture of products for the company that I still work for. Then I started taking pictures of the products and playing around with camera setting, lighting and all the fun stuff. As I became more knowledgeable, understanding camera setting, lighting, composition, etc..., more pleasant became to me, that became to be my main hobby that up to this day, I can't stop taking pictures, capturing those great memories that will freeze for ever to remember. Also creating new friends along the way, the experience becomes priceless. And with my wife's creativity and great charisma, that shares the same passion for photography, photo sessions are even greater.

Major League Baseball is starting to spread the wealth.
The Miami Marlins, Detroit Tigers, Texas Rangers and Los Angeles Angels all had hefty boosts in payroll during the offseason, along with the Tampa Bay Rays and Kansas City Royals, according to a study of major league contracts by The Associated Press.
Some traditional high rollers had huge drops, including the Mets, Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox.
"Every fan when that season starts feels like their team's got a chance," Atlanta Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said before Thursday's Opening Day loss to the Mets at Citi Field. "And that's the way it should be."
The Bombers, of course, remain the cash king and topped $200 million on opening day for the fifth consecutive year. And at $30 million, the Yanks' Alex Rodriguez remains the richest of the rich, baseball's highest-paid player for the 12th straight season.
But a major shift in strategy could be right around the corner. Yankees managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner said last month that he'd like to lower the team's payroll to $189 million by 2014 "

I ordered a custom-built PC (assembled by the store). This is the setup:
- Motherboard: Asrock A75 PRO4-M
- DVD drive: LG GH24NS90
- SSD: Samsung 830 series 128 GB
- DDR3 SDRAM: 2× Corsair XMS3 CMX4GX3M1A1600C9 (2× 4 GB)
- APU (CPU+GPU): AMD A8-3850 Boxed
I got an installation DVD for Windows 7 Professional x64 English (including SP1), but it doesn't work. I then got a new one from the store and it doesn't work either. However they work on another PC, so the DVDs aren't bad.
I tried an old installation DVD for Windows Vista. Both 32-bit and 64-bit work. So the boot order and such are right and working on the new PC.
Is there something I'm missing here? Any ideas on how to make it work?

IBM Support Assistant news
In previous installments of The Support Authority, we presented the capabilities of IBM Support Assistant V4.0 and did a deeper dive into automated data collection to demonstrate how you can simplify and enhance your self-help experience with problem determination. We're pleased to announce a new release of IBM Support Assistant V4.1 which builds upon the fantastic capabilities already offered. IBM Support Assistant V4.1 brings you new function, enhanced capabilities, and tremendous improvements in usability.
This article offers a tour of the new V4.1 offering to demonstrate how IBM continues to improve the IBM Support Assistant serviceability workbench and make it easier for you to diagnose problems that you encounter using IBM software.
What's new
- Installation
- Upgrading from a previous install
- Proxy support
- Data collection
- Service request changes
- Usage gathering feature
- Media Viewer
- Improved IBM Support Assistant serviceability
- Guided troubleshooter
- Diagnostic tools
There are several installation improvements in V4.1. On both Windows® and Linux® platforms, the workbench installs in multi-user mode only (single-user mode is no longer available), which will require administrator authority. Multi-user mode enables the workbench code to be shared by all users on a given machine, saving you both time and disk space. Also, the user's workspace location can be specified at install time, giving you the flexibility to designate which drives or file systems will be used when installing tool or product add-ons.
On Linux, the installer uses a common RPM-based install approach. As a
result, installing the workbench on Linux is approximately three times
faster than the previous release. Administration is also easier because
you can use the familiar
rpm command.
Upgrading from a previous install
If you already have IBM Support Assistant V3.0, 3.1, or 4.0 installed, you can install V4.1 right alongside your previous version. The first time that you start up the 4.1 workbench, a wizard dialog will guide you through some first steps, including a migration. In most cases, the migration wizard will automatically detect a previous install and determine where your user data is located so it can transfer some of your settings over to the new workbench. If the wizard cannot detect your previous install, don't worry: you can browse the file system and tell the wizard where your previous install is located. The migration process will pick up your proxy settings, and even determine the product and tool add-ons that you had installed. Once it determines which add-ons you use, it will step you through the update manager capability to ensure that you've got the latest and greatest version of the add-ons.
If you don't run through the migration the first time that you start the workbench (or if you wish to run it again later), you can always restart it by going to the First Steps section of the Welcome page in the workbench.
Agent / Agent manager
The agent and agent manager components are separate, optional installs that you use if you wish to perform remote data collection capabilities. Agent and agent manager were first offered with IBM Support Assistant V4.0. If you've already installed the remote components from the 4.0 release, you do not need to re-install them. You can simply use the V4.1 workbench to deploy the new data collection subagents to the remote systems.
Deployment of bundles to a remote system is accomplished using the Administration => Remote Agent menu options, and is a simple two step process:
- Download new add-ons to the local repository: This menu option (Figure 1) enables you to retrieve the updated Base software for the IBM Support Assistant Agent. You should also download the IBM Support Assistant Agent Collector Add-on so that data collection for the agent itself can be performed (see figure).
- Install add-ons to agents: This menu option enables you to push the base software bundle (and any other add-ons) out to the existing agents.
Once you've completed these steps, your agents will be ready to perform remote data collection and communicate with the IBM Support Assistant V4.1 Workbench.
Figure 1. Download IBM Support Assistant agent and agent collector
Proxy support
There were several changes in this release related to network connections and proxy support on Windows (there were no changes on the Linux platform from the previous release). The workbench's default configuration will inherit a user's Internet Explorer browser proxy settings (including any automatic configuration script that's defined). This should enable most users to be up and running without further configuration.
In addition, NTLMv1 and NTLMv2 proxy authentication is also supported. The current user's Windows credentials are automatically obtained from the platform and used for authentication, saving you from having to re-enter this information.
Data collection
Data collection continues to be one of the central features in IBM Support Assistant V4.1. Data collection has been enhanced with several new features and improvements to some existing ones. See Collecting diagnostic information using the IBM Support Assistant for a comprehensive overview of data collection in IBM Support Assistant.
Intuitive navigation for various data collection options
The new Collect Data page helps you navigate intuitively through the various data collection options available in IBM Support Assistant. The page has been redesigned for better usability and quicker collections through the three types of data collection:
- Local data collection: You can always quickly collect data from the machine where IBM Support Assistant Workbench is installed.
- Remote data collection using IBM Support Assistant Lite: Now it's easy to export a lightweight IBM Support Assistant Lite portable collector that can be easily transferred to a remote system for performing data collection. This is an extension of the portable collector from IBM Support Assistant V4.
- Remote data collection using IBM Support Assistant agents: Collect data from remote systems via IBM Support Assistant Workbench. Each remote system should have an IBM Support Assistant agent running to which the workbench will communicate.
Collect Data is the default tab in the Collect and Send Data activity in the IBM Support Assistant workbench (Figure 2). Collect and Send Data is the new name for the Manage Service Requests activity from the previous release, and more accurately reflects a user's primary goal for the activity. The Collect Data tab can also be accessed from the Analyze Problem activity.
The Collect and Send Data activity includes updated cheatsheets to help you use the different types of data collection. Select the data collection option appropriate for your environment and the cheatsheet for the selected option will display for you. You can view or hide the cheatsheets the same way as in IBM Support Assistant V4.
Figure 2. Data collection options
IBM Support Assistant Lite
What was previously called Portable Collector in IBM Support Assistant V4 is now called IBM Support Assistant Lite. IBM Support Assistant Lite provides a graphical user interface (Figure 3) in addition to the console mode available in the portable collector.
You can use IBM Support Assistant Lite similar to how you use the portable collector: you export it from the workbench for one of the available collectors and transfer it to a remote system (using FTP, SCP, memory key, or another transfer method). After extracting the IBM Support Assistant Lite files on the remote system, run one of the launch scripts for the mode you selected for the tool:
- Graphical mode
For Windows, run the
runISALite.batscript from the tool's \ISALite directory.
For Linux, AIX, HP-UX, and Solaris, run the
./runISALite.shscript from the tool's /ISALite directory.
- Command line console mode
For Windows, run the
runISALiteConsole.batscript from the tool's \ISALite directory.
For Linux, AIX®, HP-UX, and Solaris™, run the
./runISALiteConsole.shscript from the tool's /ISALite directory.

Similar to the portable collector, IBM Support Assistant Lite requires JRE 1.4.2 or higher available on the remote system. Java can now be better detected by using the JAVA_HOME environment variable or by looking for "java" in the system's path. For certain products, such as WebSphere Application Server, if you run IBM Support Assistant Lite from the product installation directory, the tool can detect and use the JRE shipped with the product.
Viewing collector script documentation
Automated collection scripts contained within a product add-on will sometimes contribute documentation to the IBM Support Assistant help system. This documentation can provide additional details about the collection script and its actions. You can also easily locate the documentation directly from the Collect Data view. Collectors with available documentation will have the More Info button enabled when selected in the workbench, as shown in Figure 4. The More Info button will be disabled when collector documentation is not provided. Both the System collector and the IBM Support Assistant V4.1 collector that are pre-installed with the workbench provide documentation about the data that is collected. This functionality is currently only available for product add-ons installed in the workbench. If you want to view documentation for collectors installed on an agent system, then you will need to also install the corresponding product add-on on the workbench.

Secure file transfer
The archive file that is created by the data collection can now be transferred to IBM using secure file transfer via HTTPS. This is provided in addition to the FTP transfer and it is available for all the collection environments (IBM Support Assistant Lite, Workbench, and Agent). The HTTPS file transfer option is available as the last step of the data collection. As with the FTP transfer, you must have a valid PMR number in order to use the HTTPS file transfer.
Archive viewer
You can now view and analyze the contents of the collected data from the Case Manger in the IBM Support Assistant Workbench. This new feature is called the Archive Viewer and it provides additional value above just using a standard file compression utility. You can examine the contents of a specific artifact, learn more about the purpose of certain files, and filter the contents of the data collection archive.
To use the Archive Viewer, select an existing data collection archive file in the Case Manager, and then select the Case Manager => Open in Archive Viewer menu option. Alternatively, right-click on the data collection archive file in the Case Manager view, and select Open in Archive Viewer. The selected data collection archive will be opened using the Data Collection Archive Viewer. The Archive Viewer will process the data collection archive and supply a list of valid categories or tags that can be used to filter the contents of the archive.
To filter the contents of the data collection archive, select a valid category or tag to filter the data that is displayed. The complete contents of the data collection archive are displayed by default. (The availability of filters will vary from product to product.)
To learn more about a specific artifact in the data collection archive, select the artifact inside the Data Collection Archive Viewer (Figure 5) and additional information will display, if available. If the artifact selected from the Data Collection Archive viewer is a file, you have the option to view the contents of the file either by selecting the Quick View link displayed in the details panel, or by right clicking on the file and selecting Quick View or Open Outside.

Service request changes
The Service Requests tab in the Collect and Send Data activity has also been improved in IBM Support Assistant V4.1.
Service request links
The Service Requests links now open in the IBM Support Assistant Workbench's embedded browser rather than an external browser. This is more convenient because it creates a seamless experience between the workbench and the Web site where service reports are managed.
Access to IBMLink/ServiceLink
Access to IBMLink/ServiceLink is now available from the Service Requests tab in the IBM Support Assistant Workbench. The new link has been added to the IBM Hardware section. This is convenient for opening service requests for several IBM products directly from your serviceability workbench.
Usage gathering
The Usage Gathering Feature is new in this release and enables you to influence the future design of the IBM Support Assistant. The information collected through this feature will help the IBM Support Assistant team better understand which functions are accessed frequently and how you use the workbench so that they can direct efforts on improving the functions that are most useful. Enabled by default, this feature works in the background to determine how the workbench is utilized, records user activity and navigation, and pools collected data into a database for reporting purposes. No user-identifiable information is collected through this feature.
This feature will have a minimal impact on user experience and performance, and includes a filtering capability to restrict the type of information that is uploaded. After a configurable amount of time, a dialog pops-up asking for permission to upload the collected data to IBM. You can always view the collected data before it is uploaded, so you can see exactly what is being sent.
Figure 6 shows a screen capture of the usage gathering pop-up dialog.
Figure 6. Usage Data Upload dialog
Media Viewer
The Media Viewer (Figure 7) was introduced in a 4.0.2 fix pack for IBM Support Assistant and is now part of the base offering. This feature enables you to build an education playlist for IBM software products top help you quickly grow your (and your team's) product skills. Think of Media Viewer as your ability to create skills playlists, similar to how you might build an MP3 playlist in iTunes or Windows Media Player.
For example, suppose you want to provide an educational overview for new employees on WebSphere Application Server, You can start with many of the tutorials and presentations available from the IBM Education Assistant repository and group them together, from multiple products, in any order that you desire. Additionally, you can insert your own documents into the playlist so that you can customize the education roadmap to meet your team's processes and business requirements. The simple drag and drop interface lets you quickly create a playlist that you can then export for sharing with team members, or download all of the content in the playlist to your local machine so that you can play it back later with offline viewing.

Improved IBM Support Assistant serviceability
Automated data collection is now available for IBM Support Assistant related issues, which should help speed up the resolution of problems with the IBM Support Assistant application. Automated data collection is available for both the IBM Support Assistant Workbench and Agent.
Collecting data for workbench issues
A collector that automates data collection for workbench issues is pre-installed with the workbench. It is available from the Local Collection option in the Collect and Send Data tab, similar to other product collectors. The name of the Workbench collector is IBM Support Assistant V4.1, as shown in Figure 8.
Figure 8. IBM Support Assistant Workbench Collector
In cases where the workbench cannot be started, an additional standalone
data collection utility is provided to gather workbench logs and other
problem determination data. The standalone data collector is located in
the rcp subdirectory of the IBM Support Assistant Workbench installation
directory, and it can be invoked by running
startcollector.bat on Windows or
./startcollector.sh on Linux.
Collecting data for Agent issues
A collector that automates data collection for Agent issues is pre-installed with the agent. It is available from the Remote collection using agents option in the Collect Data tab, similar to other remote product collectors. The name of the Agent collector is IBM Support Assistant Agent Data Collector.
For situations when, for example, the agent collector cannot be run because the connectivity between the workbench and agent is compromised, an alternate solution is available. The Agent collector is available on the update site so that you can install it in the workbench and export it as an IBM Support Assistant Lite collector. You can manually transfer the IBM Support Assistant Lite collector to the agent system and run it to collect agent log files and other problem determination data.
Guided troubleshooter
The Guided Troubleshooter, based on the IBM Guided Activity Assistant technology, continues to be an integral part of the complete problem analysis experience. It guides you through all phases of the troubleshooting process, starting with the problem symptoms and ending with an implemented solution. The Guided Troubleshooter makes it easy for you to leverage IBM Support Assistant workbench services with guided activities that can start a data collection, store the collected diagnostics in a case, and launch the most appropriate diagnostic tool for the problem you're troubleshooting. If at some point you decide to contact IBM technical support, you can use the workbench to open a service request and export your entire guided troubleshooting history so that a support engineer can pick up where you left off.
Two primary additions to the Guided Troubleshooter for IBM Support Assistant V4.1 include:
- Cheatsheets that assist you with using diagnostic tools.
- A guided activity that shows you how to use the Log Analyzer.
Cheatsheets for diagnostic tools
Cheatsheets were introduced in the IBM Support Assistant V4.0 workbench. Initially, there were two cheatsheets: one that introduced you to the cheatsheet feature, and another that helped you open a managed service request. IBM Support Assistant V4.1 includes additional cheatsheets to help you with different types of data collection.
In the IBM Support Assistant V4.1 Workbench, diagnostic tools can now include a cheatsheet with the tool add-on package. When a diagnostic tool includes a cheatsheet, that cheatsheet will open when you launch the tool from the workbench tools catalog in the Analyze Problem activity (Figure 9).
Figure 9. Cheatsheet for Memory Dump Diagnostic for Java tool
Log Analyzer how-to guided activity
Earlier versions of the IBM Support Assistant Workbench included a default Guided Troubleshooter guide that walked you through each of the troubleshooting phases at a high level. IBM Support Assistant V4.1 still includes this guide, but it has been expanded to walk you though how to use the Log Analyzer diagnostic tool to troubleshoot problems.
To reach the Log Analyzer guided activity:
- Click the Guided Troubleshooter tab in the Analyze Problem activity.
- Select Troubleshoot a problem and click the Next button.
- Assign a case name in the Case Name field and click the Next button.
- Choose General Troubleshooting and click the Next button.
- On the General Troubleshooting – Find Existing Solutions page, click the Next button.
- On the Identify Symptoms page, click the Next button.
- Choose How to use the Log Analyzer and click the Next button.
The Log Analyzer how-to guided activity shown in Figure 10.

Diagnostic tools
Diagnostic tools are invaluable when troubleshooting problems. IBM Support Assistant V4.1 includes an upgrade to the platform runtime that simplifies IBM's ability to deliver new tools to you.
The suite of troubleshooting tools for the IBM Support Assistant workbench continues to grow. In addition to the many great tools already available, like Log Analyzer, Visual Configuration Explorer, and others, several new Java and WebSphere Application Server diagnostic tools were introduced after the release of IBM Support Assistant V4.0 in April of 2008:
- IBM Trace and Request Analyzer for WebSphere Application Server
- WebSphere Application Server analyzers for the Dump Analyzer
- IBM Thread and Monitor Dump Analyzer for Java
- IBM Monitoring and Diagnostic Tools for Java - Health Center
- Major update to the Memory Dump Diagnostic for Java V3 Beta
See the IBM Support Assistant Tools Add-on List for a complete list of available tools along with brief descriptions of what each tool does and when to use it.
Watch the IBM Support Assistant Support page for flash announcements of new tools and upgrades. Announcements are also posted to the Latest News feed in the lower right corner of the IBM Support Assistant workbench Home tab.
IBM Support Assistant V4.1 brings new functions, enhanced capabilities, and significant improvements in usability. This high level tour introduced these new features to help you better understand some of the tools and resources available to assist you with your troubleshooting activities. As you become more familiar with the IBM Support Assistant, you will come to understand how valuable it can be for keeping your WebSphere environment problem-free.
