Display a Dump Report

To initiate a display of the dump reports through the DECwindows Motif interface

Pull down the Display menu and select a node name that appears in the list provided from the Dump [-> submenu.
Releasing on a node name opens the Dump window. By default, the configuration record for the first interval record is displayed. From this point the available options are the following:
- Selecting a different record type for display
- Examining the same record type for the next interval record
- Closing the dump window

The example shows a dump report:

To select a different record type for display

Press MB1 on the Display pull-down menu in the Dump Report window.
A list of the possible record types appears in the menu. A set toggle button appears to the left of any currently viewed records. Releasing on a set toggle button removes that record type from the Dump window, while releasing on an unselected record type causes that record to be added to the Dump window. The space required to view the different record types varies considerably. It is left to the user to configure the window as best fits on the screen.

To view the data for the next interval for the selected record types

Click the Next Interval button.
The ability to view the previous interval is not provided; only forward motion through the file is available. This is because the Performance Agent files are accessed sequentially only. You can restart to the beginning of the interval by closing the Dump window and reselecting the same node.

To close the Dump window

Click the Close button at the bottom of the Dump window.
OR
Release on the Close item within the File pull down menu.
