  2. Catching up on the podcast, so I’m behind, but really enjoyed this one. I like hearing that other PS Admins use similar tools and tips/tricks that I do (like setting the background color on my production Windows servers to red, development to green, etc.) and I got some great ideas from you guys that I’d love to implement.

    One tool I wanted to suggest is Automate Professional from Network Automation. It’s a very powerful and easy to use (but not cheap) automation tool. I use it (for example) to refresh my test environment every Monday morning with Sunday night’s backup of production, purge old app server/Process Scheduler logs monthly, etc.

    Another one I don’t think you mentioned is Oracle’s TraceMagic for analyzing .tracesql files which comes in very handy when the need arises to parse through a long trace.

    P.S. I also used to use PFE32 back in the day for SQR development (in my PeopleTools 5 and 6 days), but switched to Notepad++ some time ago.

    1. Thanks Jeremey.

      Network Automation looks pretty nice. Thanks for the suggestion!

      I thought we mentioned TraceMagic at one point in the podcast – or maybe I intended too 🙂 I like TraceMagic quite a bit. I feel like that should be bundled into PeopleTools and get some real support. It could be huge help for developers.
