Overview

The CA ADS dialog statistics feature allows collection of runtime statistics about dialog and overhead activity. (Overhead activity is not directly attributable to any dialog. Overhead activity occurs once at the beginning and once at the end of an application.) Statistics are collected for each logical terminal through which the application is executed.

The following aspects of dialog statistics are discussed in this appendix:

Collecting selected statistics
Enabling dialog statistics
Selecting dialogs for collection of individual statistics
Setting a checkpoint interval, after which accumulated statistics are written to the log file at runtime
Collecting and writing statistics at runtime
Dialog statistics reporting

Note: For more information about statistics-related DCMT commands described later in this appendix, see the CA IDMS System Tasks and Operator Commands Guide.
