Hotsos is pleased to announce a new release of HAWCS. Version 4.0 includes an alerting and notification module, which alerts you when thresholds you've defined are broken. You can set thresholds for work products, specific modules, as well as LIOs for any session, concurrent jobs and system-wide job executions/durations.
It also has a process control manager, which executes all HAWCS application processes. This helps to eliminate resource contention and ensure that processes are executed in order of priority.
HAWCS also has a new mid-tier session LIO report that tracks the cost of mid-tier (web-based) and other sessions that you specify by user name, module, program, or any combination of the three.
Existing customers on maintenance can download the new version from portal.hotsos.com.
Let us show you what HAWCS can do! Contact sales@hotsos.com today!

Attendees, find your favorite pair of blue jeans and an old flannel shirt to wear. Visit our website to find out more. Laissez les bons temps rouler (let the good times roll)!
Kerry has been a frequent speaker at prior Hotsos Symposia, and his presentations are always interesting, informative and well-attended. He's become a favorite of attendees.

Hotsos Symposium 2010 has finished, presentations have been uploaded, and photos have been posted.
Many of the attendees have told us that this was the best Sym ever! Tom Kyte gave outstanding keynote and technical presentations. Tanel Põder's Training Day was very well-received. Richard Foote gave some brilliant general sessions, and all of the speakers were outstanding.
What more could we ask for? Well...we'd just like you to start thinking about 2011. You won't want to miss it! You never know who you might see (and in what get-up).
We decided to try something new this year with the Symposium scrapbook. We made our digital scrapbook pages then uploaded them to Shutterfly to create the book. Since last year was so much fun, we thought you'd enjoy seeing the preview below. We will have a hard copy available for viewing at the Symposium in March.
We can't wait to get started on the book for 2010! If you haven't signed up yet, go to Hotsos Symposium 2010 Registration today. We hope to see you there!

Hotsos Symposium 2010. March 7-11. Irving, TX. Be there.
The complete calendar for Hotsos Education for 2010 has been posted at http://www.hotsos.com/calendar.html. We are pleased to announce a brand new class entitled Advanced Optimizer Concepts and Performance, which will be offered starting in April.
A thorough understanding of the Oracle Cost-Based Optimizer (CBO) is essential to consistently optimize SQL in a timely manner. Our Optimizing Oracle SQL, Intensive class teaches students a repeatable and reliable systematic method for optimizing SQL, and the underlying knowledge of that methodology is an understanding of the CBO. However, it's impossible to pack a lifetime of information and learning into 5 days. Therefore we've developed Advanced Optimizer Concepts and Performance as the next step in learning more about the CBO.
This new class will help you answer the following questions:
To find out more about Advanced Optimizer Concepts and Performance, please visit www.hotsos.com.
