Viewing Reports From Data Files
When you access a data file associated with a currently active measurement, you
might encounter a delay before counters appear because the MEASCTL processes
buffer data before writing it to the file. Also, an active data file contains data primarily
from transient entities unless you started the measurement with a collection interval.
The ADD MEASUREMENT command creates a file-handling process (MEASFH) that
reads configuration information and counter records from the measurement data file
and translates them into external counter record formats. MEASFH creates an index in
the data file and translates records from internal to external format. It requires sufficient
free disk space to hold these structures.
MEASFH reads the data from the counter record, subtracts its initial value (if any), and
passes the adjusted value to MEASCOM, which displays this adjusted value.
To examine data in an active or inactive measurement data file, enter the LIST
entity-type and LISTALL entity-type commands. The LIST entity-type
command displays the data collected for all counters of the entity since the
measurement began. The LISTALL command displays the data collected for all
counters of the entity at each collection interval specified in the START
MEASUREMENT command.
Using the LIST entity-type Command
The LIST entity-type command displays one set of counter values for one or more
entity specifications. These values represent data collected from the time the
measurement began to the time the LIST command is issued.
In this example, the LIST entity-type command displays counter values for CPU 1
on a TNS system:

Use an asterisk to select all specifications of an entity type. For example, this
command displays counter values for all CPUs on a two-CPU TNS/R system running
NSR-L processors:
