The Visual Configuration Explorer

When configuration problems occur in a complex software environment, you can spend a lot of time hunting for subtle changes that might have introduced errors. The new Visual Configuration Explorer tool, which runs as a plug-in to the IBM Support Assistant, simplifies configuration troubleshooting by letting you visualize, explore, and analyze the configurations of various software stacks offline.

You can also use this plugin to compare two configurations and look for changes. Very good if your server ‘magically’ breaks one day or you are trying to track down a change from a while ago.
