ID Options and Identifiers

Use ID options and identifiers to specify which resources you want to include in a report. You can specify ID options and identifiers with variables or with commands, as follows:

• You can limit a particular variable to certain individual resources by specifying an ID option and one or more identifiers with the variable.

  For example, the following command plots the number of times the transaction CINQ was executed, which includes the ID option TRANID and the identifier CINQ:

  PLOT TRANSACTION USE TRANID(CINQ)
  

• You can limit an entire tabular, historical, or graph report to resources of a given type by specifying an ID option with the report command. You can further limit the report to individual resources of that type by specifying identifiers with the ID option.

  For example, the following command generates a tabular report showing:

  • The number of times the transactions CINQ and PINQ were executed
  • The average lifetime of each

    TAB TRANID(CINQ,PINQ) TRANSACTION USE AND TRANSACTION LIFE
