Checking Measurement Activity and Data Files
Checking Measurement Activity and Data Files
To find out how many measurements are active on or configured for a system, use the
STATUS MEASSUBSYS, STATUS MEASUREMENT, and INFO MEASUREMENT
commands.
Active includes not only measurements that are running, but also any measurements
whose data files have filled up but that have not been stopped. Configured includes
both measurements for which a START MEASUREMENT command has been issued
but whose start time has not yet been reached and measurements that have aborted.
For more information, see
Potential Data File Errors on page 3-10.
Checking Subsystem Status
The STATUS MEASSUBSYS command shows the number of measurements active or
configured on a system and lists their data file names. It also shows the total number of
MEASCTL processes active or to be activated for all the measurements listed and their
associated CPUs. For example:
20+ STATUS MEASSUBSYS
Number of Active (or Configured) Measurements = 2
$DATA.PERF.JUL01
$DATA.PERF.JUL02
Number of Active MEASCTL Processes = 16
in CPU(s): 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14,
15
Checking Data File Size and Content
To check the contents and size of active or configured measurement data files, enter
the STATUS MEASUREMENT command. To display information with this command,
you must be a member of the super-user group or be the same user ID that started the
measurement. Otherwise, when you enter a STATUS MEASUREMENT command, this
message appears:
MEAS 3302 The requestor does not have proper security rights
to perform this action; check the request from
Measstatus
For a configured measurement, this command shows the starting time, the ending time
(if specified), and the current and maximum size of the data file. For example:
28+ STATUS MEASUREMENT $DATA.PERF.JUL01
From 2 Jul 2003, 15:30:00, To 2 Jul 2003, 17:30:00
Current EOF 256 B Maximum EOF 15728640 B
Percentage Used 0.00 %
Note. Starting with G08 Measure, the data file size increased from 127.5 MB to 1 GB.
