FOCLOG is a tool for recording and analyzing the use of
FOCUS for your entire site. It comes packaged with a set of standard
analytical reports that allow you to interrogate FOCUS usage—identify
usage spikes and redundancies, detect large report requests, analyze
time-of-day usage trends, and monitor ad hoc versus scheduled requests
for each user. It even allows you to analyze the environmental conditions
of the query such as use of joins, cross references, combines, MSO
or SU. In addition, it collects and reports on statistics such as
the number of data rows extracted and number of lines on the report output.
FOCLOG is invisible and non-intrusive to your production applications,
whether batch or online. Rolled up and sorted in creative ways,
the captured data provides the insight a site coordinator or manager
needs to gain a clear picture of FOCUS usage and to target areas that
could require adjustment, consolidation, or expansion.
