Use Binary Graph Data

The DECwindows and the command mode interfaces let you save the graph data that you selected for viewing into a file. This binary file can later be reloaded into either of the interfaces and the graphs presented, eliminating the need for re-analyzing the data.

The following example shows the command mode interface:

$ ADVISE PERFORMANCE
PSPA> SELECT GRAPHS=BY_NODE /BEG=26-JAN-2006:9/END=26-JAN-2006:17
PSPA> SAVE JAN26.GRAPHS
PSPA> EXIT

$ ADVISE PERFORMANCE
PSPA> LOAD JAN26.GRAPHS
PSPA> GRAPH /TYPE=CPU_UTILIZATION /NODE=NODE1

You can modify the PSPA$DAILY.COM file in PSPA$EXAMPLES to save the graph data during a nightly batch job and the next day, load the data if the analysis report indicated any problems.
