GRAPH

specifies atrace-type value to be associated with the entries on the MEASURE parameter

The trace-type values and the measure names are positional.

Tn—specifies the trace-type value for the nth measure name

Up to 12 trace-type values and measure names can be entered. The default value is AVG. The trace-type values can be any of the following values:

• MIN—minimum value captured during record interval
  • calculation: smallest SMF76MIN value
• MAX —maximum value captured during record interval
  • calculation: greatest SMF76MAX value
• AVG—average value captured during record interval
  • calculation: SMF76AVG / SMF76SSS
• END—last value captured during record interval
  • calculation: SMF76ENV
• STD —standard deviation value captured during record interval calculation:
  • (SMF76SSS * Ʃ(SMF76STD) –
  • (Ʃ(SMF76AVE) **2)) **.5 / SMF76SSS
• DIF—difference between the starting end value and the ending end value calculation:
  • SMF76ENV(last)–SMF76ENV(first)

TRACE76 measures can be included on the measure list with other graphics measures for other graphics displays (PLOT, PROFILE, KIVIAT, TAB, and so on.). The default value, AVG, is assigned to any measure name that does not have a TRCETYPE value associated with it for any graph type except TRACE.

specifies the format of the plots in which two or more measures are shown

When you specify YES, a continuous string of characters leads from the plotted value on one line to the plotted value on the next line, making it easier to see the changes in values. When you specify NO, the point plotting format is produced. Whenever two or more characters occupy the same space, the character O is produced. The default is YES.

specifies whether a circle of asterisks should be printed to mark the outer boundary of the Kiviat graph or Pie chart

The default is YES.

specifies whether periods should be printed to mark the location of the axis for each measure in the Kiviat graph

The default is YES.

specifies the height and width of print characters

Set CPI to characters per inch. The default is CPI=10. If CPI is set incorrectly, the resulting Kiviat graph or Pie chart is elliptical.

specifies the height and width of print characters

Set LPI to lines per inch. The default is LPI=6. If LPI is set incorrectly, the resulting Kiviat graph or Pie chart is elliptical.

specifies the number of lines per page to be used for Kiviat or pie graphs

You cannot specify a value greater than 60. Kiviat and pie graphs are always printed one to a page, but unusual page sizes can be accommodated with this parameter. The default is 60. All other graph types print without page breaks until the graph is complete.

for Kiviat graphs, specifies the character to use to fill the interior of the polygon; the default is *

For plot graphs, specify one FILLCHAR for each measure requested; the default is *+=:-<.#12345678.

specifies the measures to be graphed

See Measure-and-trace-values for acceptable values. You can specify up to 16 measures for the Kiviat, Plot, Profile, and Distribution graphs and Pie chart. You can specify up to 12 measures for the Tabular Subreport or Trace graph; if you specify more, only the first 12 are recognized.

specifies a limit value to be associated with each measure

There is a one-to-one correspondence between the MEASURE and LIMIT parameters for the Kiviat and distribution graphs. For the plot and profile graphs, the highest limit specified is used.

To establish useful graphs of measures that have a range of values exceeding 100, run the tab graph first, to determine a proper set of limit specifications. Two decimal places are implied for each LIMIT= value. The default for each value is 10000 (100.00). A value less than 1000 (10.00) causes results to be unpredictable.

The limit value should be high enough to accommodate the measure being graphed. For example, if the PAGEIO measure is being graphed and it is estimated that the value is in the thousands, specify a limit value of 1000000 (10,000.00). Erroneous graphs can result if the limit value is too small.

specifies the CPU ID (as a hexadecimal value) for which CPU data is to be displayed

Acceptable IDs are 0 through 1F, and ALL. ALL is the default.

specifies if the distribution graph is to be normalized

If normalized, the X-axis starts at the minimum value instead of zero (does not apply to percent), and the Y-axis ends at 50% (if no distribution exceeds 50%). The default is YES.
