Start Interactive Analysis

Select Option 1 from the Primary Option Menu.

The Monitor Definition panel displays:

Type one of the following line commands in the LC field next to the profile that you want to analyze.

H—History

Displays the Monitor History panel, which lists information about each monitor session invoked for the monitor profile selected. From here, you might analyze the data that is gathered during any monitor session.

For more information, see Display Monitor History.

A—Analyze Normal

Displays information that is not directly related to the target application is eliminated. Data is reported as follows:

The following samples are eliminated from analysis: Non-dispatched (.NONDISP), No CPU available (.DISPWT), Processor Delay (.PROCDLY), Page wait (.PAGEWT), Swapped (.SWAPWT), and No activity (.OTHERWT). These samples are considered for the overall OverView activity percentages and runtimes.

CodeView and related histograms are sorted based on Active percentages, not total percentages. The Visual field reflects the Active percent only. Wait samples are included. Percentages are calculated on total samples; all activity values have equal weight.

AL—Analyze All

Allows you to compare delays occurring when the program is executing in both active and wait states.

Percentages are calculated based on all samples.

AA—Analyze Active

Allows you to analyze information and calculate the percentages based on samples where the program was actively using CPU. Samples that contain only wait information are filtered out, which allows you to make normalized CPU comparisons of program activity.

AW—Analyze Wait

Allows you to analyze information and calculate percentages based on samples where the program was in a wait state. Samples that contain only active information are filtered out which allows you to make normalized comparisons of program wait activity.

X—Export Monitor Data

Creates an export file of the monitor data set suitable for electronic transmission. Use this command when sending monitor data to CA Technical Support.

J—Display Job Card

Displays the batch reports job card that is associated with the selected Monitor profile.

Press Enter.

The Interactive Analysis menu displays:

Place the cursor on the Options field and press Enter to display current analysis information.

A pop-up panel displays that shows the analysis type and any tasks or transactions selected.

Type the number of the analysis option to select and press Enter.

Each option is described in the following sections.

Use the commands listed in the following section to switch between Interactive Analysis mode.

You can easily switch between the different analysis modes that are accessed from the Interactive Analysis menu without having to return to that menu. For example, if you are viewing samples that are actively using CPU and want to see those that are waiting, you can enter one of the following commands to switch analysis modes.

ACTIVE

Delay percentages are calculated using only the samples found to be actively using CPU. By running CA MAT with this option multiple times, you can make normalized CPU comparisons of program activity.

WAIT

Delay percentages are calculated using samples found to be in a wait state. By running CA MAT with this option multiple times, you can make normalized comparisons of program wait activity.

NORMAL

All wait-related delays which are not controlled by the application are removed. The CodeView panel is sorted based on Active samples (where the application was actively using CPU). This option will provide the best view of the data for normal use.

ALL

Delay percentages are calculated using every sample collected.

Note: Starting CA MAT Version 9.0.00, you can also analyze a monitor session in the CA MAT graphical user interface.
