Plot the Variable Value for a Specified Resource

You can plot the performance of one or more individual resources (such as transactions, terminals, or operators). Follow the variables to plot with an ID option and a list of one or more identifiers (such as terminal ID or transaction ID). You can use generic characters to specify a group of identifiers.

Example: PLOT Command with Variable and ID option

The following PLOT command includes the variable TERM RESP, followed by the ID option TERMID and the identifier 0A. The average response time of terminals whose IDs begin with the characters 0A plots:

PLOT TERM RESP TERMID(0A*)
  FROM 12/07/08 01:00:00
  TO   12/07/08 09:00:00
  EACH HOUR
END
RUN

A report like the following is generated:

SHIFT  NONE
EACH   HOUR                                       TERMINAL AVERAGE RESPONSE TIME

SYMBOLS:  “X” =  TERMINAL AVERAGE RESPONSE TIME        “-” =  GLOBAL TERMINAL AVERAGE RESPONSE TIME

The average response time of 0A terminals is plotted with Xs. Also the average response time for all terminals is also plotted with hyphens. You can easily compare the two.
