Rotate Graph Toolbar Button
Normally, ASAP retrieves the most recent data in your host database. The Download
Wizard lets you analyze data in the NonStop OS database for a different time or day,
provided the database contains data for the specified time and date.
To download data for a different date or time:
1. Click the Download toolbar button labeled with the Camera icon.
2. Use the ASAP Download Wizard dialog box to specify the date, time, sample
interval, and download options.
3. Use the Date tab to specify the date that you want to analyze. The database must
contain data for the specified date.
4. Use the Time tab to specify the ending time that you want to analyze.
5. Use the Samples tab to specify the total number of samples to download.
6. Use the Options tab to specify download options:
°
Check the Clear Data Cache check box to have ASAP clear its cache before
performing the download. If you do not check this, download data is mixed with
existing data in ASAP.
°
Check the Stop Automatic Updates check box to suspend automatic host
updates while you are analyzing performance for the specified analysis
interval. When you close the Download Wizard dialog box, ASAP asks whether
you want to resume automatic updates.
7. Click the Download button to start the download. The download time depends on
the size of your NonStop OS network, the number of samples you specified, and
the number of entities enabled under the Entity property sheet in the ASAP
Properties window.
