IBM Insight Tool IBM Insight for SAP is a FREE service offering that provides customers with a report detailing the workload and utilization of their production SAP system. Download IBM Insight for SAP from TechDocs

http://www-03.ibm.com/support/ techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/PRS381

Insight is a set of three Windows programs: •  Insight Collector - captures SAP

Application workload and OS utilization statistics.

•  Insight Reducer - gathers information, verifies and compresses data set.

•  Insight Reporter - generates the Insight report (run by Techline specialist).

The Insight report can be used by Techline in the SAP sizing process for existing and potential IBM customers running IBM or non-IBM hardware.
