Graph the Hot File Activity

By default, PA combines files with the same names regardless of differing directory or device locations. To separate files having different directories or devices, you must define the logical names PSPA$GRAPH_FILE_DIRECTORY and PSPA$GRAPH_FILE_DEVICE. Or, alternatively, use the /FILTER qualifier to select hotfile records for specific processes and/or disk devices.

If the graph legend is undesirable due to its length, you have several options to shrink the font used to print the legend. DECwindows has a Resources file that can change the font. PostScript has a logical name.

The Pie Chart can be presented in tabular format which gives a wider legend text.

If the file is deleted before the prod_fam Performance Manager detects its specification, its name is not available. The FID is provided in parentheses instead of its name. All non-virtual QIO activity to the disk is reported under the file specification, Non Virtual QIO.
