Collecting I/O usage information tells you where your
application is performing I/O operations, and gives
detailed information on each I/O operation it records.
Collecting I/O information can give you more detailed
information than you can get from collecting system
services information.
To collect I/O usage information on your application:
o Compile and link your application with the PCA
Collector
o Run your application. This causes the PCA Collector
to take control of your application. PCA diplays the
Collector main window on your screen.
o From the File pull-down menu, create a data file
into which the Collector places performance data.
o Choose the I/O Usage query category.
o Click on the specific I/O query you are interested
in getting information on.
o Click on Collect in the Collector main window.
For information on displaying the results of the I/O
Usage queries, refer to:
o The hardcopy manual, Guide to DIGITAL Performance
and Coverage Analyzer for OpenVMS Systems
o The online help for the PCA Analyzer.
