Selecting a user-defined graph

Option U, USER GRAPHS, on the Graph Master Menu invokes the User Defined Graph Selection menu:

The User Defined Graph Selection menu presents a selection list for each graph area.

To create a user-defined graph

1. Select a topic from the User Defined Graph Selection menu by typing the selection number on the COMMAND line.

2. Press Enter.A field selection list, similar to the list in the figure below, appears for the topic that you specified.

   Global CICS Selection list

   BMC SOFTWARE ------------ GLOBAL CICS SELECTION --------------- TIME: 19:06:47
   COMMAND ===>                                                CICS ===> CIC70CSR
   
   
   
    Select up to 6 fields from the list below
   
    _  TRANSACTIONS/SEC       _  TRANSACTION COUNT      _  AVG DSA H.W.M
    _  TRANS/SEC(TERMINAL)    _  TRANS COUNT(TERMINAL)  _  PCT TERMINAL TRANS
    _  CICS CPU PERCENTAGE    _  AVG CPU / CICS WAIT    _  AVG CICS WAIT TIME
    _  USER CPU PERCENTAGE    _  USER DISPATCH PERCENT  _  USER CPU RATIO
    _  KCP CPU PERCENTAGE     _  KCP DISPATCH PERCENT   _  KCP CPU RATIO
    _  TCP CPU PERCENTAGE     _  TCP DISPATCH PERCENT   _  TCP CPU RATIO
    _  JCP CPU PERCENTAGE     _  JCP DISPATCH PERCENT   _  JCP CPU RATIO
    _  USER DISPATCH COUNT    _  KCP DISPATCH COUNT     _  TCP DISPATCH COUNT
    _  JCP DISPATCH COUNT     _  MVS SRB PERCENTAGE     _  NONCICS CPU AVAILABLE
    _  TOTAL PAGEIN COUNT     _  PAGEIN/SECOND          _  TOTAL PAGEOUT COUNT
    _  PAGEOUT/SECOND

    

   The example is a graph for global CICS data. For options 5 through 10, which support resource specification, the selection list also contains a resource input field.

3. Select a field by typing either an alphabetic character (such as s) or a number between 1 and 6 to the left of the field description.You may select up to six fields to be included in your graph. When you use characters, fields are shown on the graph in the order in which they appear in the selection list. When you use numbers, fields are shown on the graph in the numerical order that you specify.

   Note

   You may not mix characters and numbers.

4. Press Enter.The following primary commands can be typed on the COMMAND line in the selection list:

    

   Command	Description
   SELECT name or S name	selects a previously saved selection list The name value can be specified as either xxx, in which case it will be prefixed by CMRGS, or as a complete name, such as RESPONSE. The selection list is read from the user profile data set.
   SAVE name	saves the current selection list into the user profile data set for later retrieval name is specified as described in SELECT.
   REPLACE name	saves the current selection list into the user profile data set for later retrieval REPLACE must be used when the member to be saved already exists in the user profile data set. name is specified as described in SELECT.
   REVIEW	displays a scratch pad area This scratch pad can be used for storing up to 20 graph set names and short descriptions. A given selection list can be retrieved from the REVIEW list by typing its name on the COMMAND line. The REVIEW list can be updated by typing the UPDATE command while viewing it. This command changes the display to an input display allowing you to type over of the names and descriptions. Pressing Enter changes the display back to an output display and saves the changes in the user profile data set. Pressing END returns to the output display without saving the changes.
   HELP	displays a general overview of the use of the selection menu or, if you position the cursor over one of the field descriptions, displays the full description of that field HELP provides the number that is associated with the selected graph.
