Graphing statistics


If you have a graphics capable terminal or printer, DASD MANAGER PLUS displays or prints a variety of statistical graphs by using IBM GDDM Presentation Graphics Facility (PGF). Use these graphs to compare and analyze Db2 catalog and BMCSTATS statistics.

When you use the graphs with the statistical displays, the displays show statistical trends that allow for planning of maintenance schedules and, if necessary, redesign of the physical objects. For this reason, you can access the graph displays from the statistics panels.

Best Practice

Many statistics graphs depend on the number of statistical entries in the BMCSTATS tables to show a change in the statistics over time. We recommend that you collect the statistics several times to obtain graphs that display noticeable trends.
