Abstract
A method and program product for gathering information about a system. A user logs on to the system, and in response, computer programming automatically identifies application instances executing in the system, determines whether the system is configured for high availability, determines whether each of the identified application instances is configured for high availability, determines if the system is a node of a cluster of systems, and compiles and displays a unified report of the resulting information. The foregoing type of information is automatically compiled and displayed for other systems as well, in different respective sessions.

identifying application instances executing in said second system;
determining whether said second system is configured for high availability;
determining whether each of the identified application instances in said second system is configured for high availability;
determining if said second system is a node of a cluster of systems; and
