Summary

Introduced in Viewpoint 15.11, Viewpoint Mobile is a new way of monitoring and managing your Teradata systems using an interface optimized for smaller devices. Viewpoint Mobile is designed to pull together the most relevant data and features from the System Health, Query Monitor, Alert Viewer, Metrics Analysis, and SQL Scratchpad portlets in order to support system monitoring and management while on the go. Whether you have Teradata, Aster, or Hadoop systems, Viewpoint Mobile allows you to monitor the health of those systems and to perform common management tasks. For example  aborting a query or changing the workload for a query on a Teradata DB system.

Summary

The Viewpoint Dashboard (released with Viewpoint 15.11) is designed to give you an at-a-glance overview of monitored systems while you perform your everyday tasks. If something catches your eye you can quickly switch to the Dashboard for a system and begin a more in-depth investigation.

The Shared Pages feature in Viewpoint has been updated to make it simpler and more intuitive. Now, if you want to create a template page to share with others or to ensure that new users are not greeted with a blank Home page, you can find everything you need in the new and improved Shared Pages admin portlet.

Workload Designer has been updated to make it easier to understand and configure how resources are assigned to workloads. TASM 14.0 onwards SLES 11 uses a new method of workload resource allocation that is intended to simplify the process conceptually and procedurally.
