There are too many things, in the WWW interface that do not work like the
SA gui or are simply not available.

For instance, I collect data transfer statistics. I do this by going to the
SA GUI client, SERVER ACTIVITY LOG, select all 4961 messages and then
SELECT / PRINT them to a file that is imported into a spreadsheet.

Can't do this with the WWW interface. The output is wrapped (if you just
cut/paste). No option to print to a file or with COMMA DELIM, etc.

Also, did I mention it is dog-slow !!!   I have tried using the WWW
interface and after waiting 20 minutes (this is of course, after clicking
through 8-levels to find something) for a query to return (and don't even
think about suggesting our network is the issue. We run 1GB ethernet, FDDI,
ATM, etc. Speed is not an issue), I jumped into the SA GUI program and the
same query/info came back almost immediately !!!.



You may use any web browser like Netscape to administrate the server, the
address is default to dns of your server followed by port 1580, in my case
it
is http://pu01:1580/. Then you'll get a nice GUI.

Sadly the SA GUI is gone, I'm not sure I ever read why it was taken out
unless they are just trying to simplify things. I also liked it.

I did try a test though. I installed the 3.1.08 version on a computer and
upgraded to a newer version without removing. Since the new version does
not
install in the same directory structure as before I was able to keep the SA
GUI and it seemed to work. I doubt Tivoli would support you if you had
problems since 3.1 is going off support soon.
