The TVS Monitor portlet uses the Virtual Storage data collector. The Stats Manager portlet uses the Stats Manager data collector to display data, and is available for systems running Teradata Database 14.10 or later. The Query Log portlet uses the Query Log data collector to display historical DBQL data.
- [Optional] Under Enhanced TASM Functions, select the check box to activate the workload management features available with your TASM license in SLES 11. After it is enabled, the (For SLES 11 systems only) comment no longer displays.
