Controlling the Report Window

For PROCESSH entities, the object of the BY clause is a code-range name rather than
a counter name.

For DISC entities, the counter name for a cache counter must be preceded by C0-,
C1-, C2-, or C3- to differentiate between the different cache block sizes. For example,
to display all DISC records in descending order according to the value of the HITS
counter for the 512-byte cache (C0):

7+ LIST DISC *, BY C0-HITS

Controlling the Report Window

Specifying a report window directs MEASCOM to read and display only records written
to the data file within a specified time period (plus or minus half a collection interval).
Because you are viewing a subset of the available data, the statistics displayed by a
report window are typically different from those displayed by default.

Use the TO, FROM, and FOR clauses of the LIST

entity-type

and LISTALL

entity-type

commands or the FOR clause of the LISTACTIVE

entity-type

command to adjust the report window.

Example 4-1

is a standard data display showing all the data collected for CPU 1 during

a 2-hour measurement. The last four lines of the report apply to measurements taken
on TNS/R systems. These lines do not appear for measurements taken on TNS
systems.

Note.

Changes made to the REPORT attributes ZERO-REPORTS, FORMAT, and TOTALS

and the IF clause of the LIST

entity-type

and LISTALL

entity-type

commands also

change the information written to structured report files. For example, if you specify FORMAT
STRUCTURED and TOTALS ONLY, only the record containing counter totals is written to the
structured report file.

Changes made to the REPORT attributes RATE and ZERO-VALUES and the BY clause of the
LIST

entity-type

and LISTALL

entity-type

commands do not change the information

written to structured report files.
