Technical Details

CleverView for cTrace Analysis allows users to remotely generate traces and automate the trace generation using scheduling with interval recording functions across multiple systems. Other locally or network generated traces can be migrated into CleverView for cTrace Analysis for in-depth analysis. The expert functions enhance diagnostic efforts and accelerates virtualization, cloud, mobile, application and IPv6 deployment. This new support for mobile devices enables IT to meet dynamic anywhere-anytime business demand with reduced costs and improved IT service deliveries. It is designed to help users make virtualization and cloud projects a success by resolving problems more quickly, with expanded remote tracing, extending the expert analysis of network traffic for multi-architecture environments*, including z/OS®, Linux, Linux on z System®, IBM i®, z/VM®, z/VSE®, AIX, OSA Express, and Windows®.

CleverView for cTrace Analysis supports z/OS packet trace, z/OS Data Trace, IBM i Communications trace, OSAENTA trace, Linux on System z, Linux, AIX,UNIX, z/VM, z/VSE, Windows, Android, iOS, PCAP trace, and Sniffer trace.

Multi-Architecture Support

Trace generation for z/OS®, OSAENTA, HiperSockets™, Windows®, Linux, Linux on System z, AIX, Android, and more. Import and analysis for any trace generated with CleverView for cTrace Analysis, Sniffer, or any trace file with a .cap or .pcap extension. Details on IBM i trace generation and conversion for analysis are provided. IPv4 and IPv6 protocol support.

Ease of use

Auto-scheduling of packet capture. Pinpoints performance issues by providing host time.network time breakout. Simultaneous interval based tracing . Side-by-side trace comparison with TraceDiff for faster problem resolution. QueryBuilder filters captured data allowing focus on specific items under investigation. Critical session reports with response times and transfer rates.

Security

Packet discard/port tracing available. System level credentials required. SU command capability for Linux/UNIX/AIX tracing. z/OS Data trace reveals application level inconsistencies before encryption or after decryption.

Mainframe packet trace exclusives Capture and analyze both OSA and HiperSocket LANs. Real-time packet trace decoding using z/OS API. Capture multiple LPAR packet traces through the OSA interface from one z/OS system. Mainframe-based OSA Real-Time packet diagnostics.

New features in CleverView for cTrace Analysis v8.2 include the following:

IDS Trace Analysis providing deep diagnostic capability into Intrusion Detection packets

New capabilities in Query Builder enhancing the IDS support

CLEVER Mobile for Trace
As mobile apps become a mission critical business requirement, the ability to diagnose TCP/IP network traffic on these mobile devices is a necessity. Most corporate strategy definitions of a multi-architecture end-to-end environment include mobile phones. Functions available to users of browser interfaces, now must also be available as mobile applications. Working with our valued customers AES has responded with our CLEVER Mobile^® Advantage product family.

CLEVER Mobile for Trace allows the capture of TCP/IP network traffic on your Android and iOS mobile phone. An integrated transfer function allows captured packets to be sent to an analyst who will use CleverView^® for cTrace Analysis for the diagnostic session. All analysis functions of CleverView for cTrace Analysis can be applied to these mobile traces including; side-by-side trace comparison, exception reporting, and decoding of enterprise critical protocols to name a few. The addition of CLEVER Mobile for Trace is designed to help users make Enterprise projects a success by meeting IT service level objectives.

White Papers

The Making of a Professional cTrace Packet Analyzer
Including a detailed look at the benefits of cTrace analysis and how AES CleverView for cTrace Analysis can accelerate and simplify TCP/IP network problem solving. As TCP/IP networks become increasingly complex Component Trace Analysis is vital, but is often difficult to handle in-house. Some companies no longer have the expertise needed to undertake component trace analysis. Others may choose to outsource component trace analysis - a costly and time-consuming option. This paper will first look at the history of cTrace Analysis and the urgent need for an analysis tool. It will then discuss the functionality needed in a professional Component Trace Analysis Tool.
