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.
