Collecting system service usage information on your
application is useful for determining where and your
program calls each system service and what parts of
your application use system services the most. For each
system service call, PCA gathers the following data:
o The system service index
o The PCA address of the system service call
o The current process, or CPU, time
To collect system service 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 System Service Uages query category.
o Click on the specific system service usage query
that you are interested in collecting information
on.
o Click on Collect in the Collector main window.
For information on displaying the results of the system
service 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.
