Welcome to Aprobe for Windows XP/2000/NT

Since you're reading this, we can assume that you've successfully installed RootCause, and are interested in the lower-level features of Aprobe. However, if you haven't tried RootCause and its demonstrations, please do that first using the RootCause User's Guide.

The documentation for Aprobe is in WinHelp format, and if you prefer, is also in HTML format that can be viewed with your browser (e.g., Internet Explorer). Just choose User's Guide from the Aprobe Workspace Help menu, or from the Start->Programs->Aprobe menu. (The Windows Help you see was automatically generated from the HTML.)

If problems arise, don't hesitate to contact OC Systems by e-mail at support@ocsystems.com, or by phone at +1 703 359 8160.

Aprobe is designed and packaged to support learning by doing. Here are some suggestions:

  1. Start the Aprobe Graphical User Interface (if you're not already there) and run the Demo. Just select Demo Workspace in the Initial Options portion of the Welcome to Aprobe dialog.

  2. When you've completed the demo, try the Example Workspaces under the File menu.

  3. After you've done the demo and read about Aprobe, you can try Aprobe on an existing application by Starting with a New Workspace.

  4. At this point, you may want to explore the full power of Aprobe by trying some examples from the DOS command line. To do this, choose Programs->Aprobe->Aprobe Command Shell from the Start menu. Usage for the tools is described in Appendix A of the User's Guide.

If you have any questions anywhere along the way, don't hesitate to contact OC Systems Support.
