Activity tools

Activity tools are specialized forms of the graph tool that display instances of the specific activity, based on a ranking of the activity by some suitable metric.

You can choose from among the following activity tools:
  • The disk-activity tool, which displays the top 10 activities ranked by total operations
  • The session-activity tool, which displays the top 10 activities ranked by ISAM calls plus PDQ calls per second
  • The disk-capacity tool, which displays the top 10 activities ranked by free space in megabytes
  • The physical-processor-activity tool, which displays all processors ranked by nonidle CPU time
  • The virtual-processor-activity tool, which displays all VPs ranked by VP user time plus VP system time

The activity tools use the bar-graph format. You cannot change the scale of an activity tool manually; onperf always sets this value automatically.

The Graph menu provides you with options for closing, printing, and exiting the activity tool.
