1 Introduction This manual documents the Tandem Flow Map product. Flow Map has two components, Flow Map Host (FMH) and Flow Map PC (FMP). FMH filters, reduces and formats performance data collected by the Tandem Performance Data Collector and Measure products. FMP is a Windows workstation graphical user interface. It creates a flow diagram showing how the processes, files and connections of an application running on the Tandem system interact.
Introduction Uses for Flow Map Help Resolve Problems and Performance Bottlenecks If conventional solutions are not effective, use Flow Map to find clues within the application to do the following: Troubleshoot performance bottlenecks. Research performance problems. Review Performance When you are reviewing a product's performance, you can use Flow Map to do the following: Assist in an ongoing proactive application performance enhancement process.
Introduction Architecture Architecture The overall architecture of the Flow Map application is shown in Figure 1-1. First, the Tandem Performance Data Collector (TPDC) collects the raw Measure and other performance data from the Tandem host and puts it into a consolidated data file. Next, FMH filters, formats, and reduces the data and creates a Flow Map Host Sample. Finally, Flow Map PC receives the Flow Map Host Sample and creates a diagram from the downloaded data. Figure 1-1.
Introduction Flow Map Host Flow Map Host Flow Map Host (FMH) is the first component of the Flow Map product. It takes a single consolidated data file created by Tandem Performance Data Collector (TPDC) and builds a comma separated values (CSV) file to hold the resulting objects and connection information in a form Flow Map PC (FMP) can read.
2 Installing and Running Flow Map This section tells you how to install and run Flow Map Host (FMH) and Flow Map PC (FMP). It includes information on system requirements, installing and starting Flow Map, finding version information, and exiting Flow Map. Flow Map currently supports data collection and display for one Tandem node at a time. System Requirements Before you install Flow Map, make sure your Tandem system and PC meet the system requirements listed below.
Installing and Running Flow Map Installing Flow Map on the Host Installing Flow Map on This subsection describes how to install Flow Map Host (FMH). FMH requires the the Host Tandem NonStop system release C30 or D20 and the Measure and TPDC software products. Installation Procedures The INSTALL program transfers a release of Flow Map Host from tape to an Installation Subvolume (ISV).
Installing and Running Flow Map Installing Flow Map on the PC csv is the file name of the output CSV file. The default file name is CSVFMH. The file is created if it does not already exist. The file is overwritten if it already exists. print is the spooler location for the FMH reports. The default file name is $S.#FLWMP. The CSV file is an ASCII text file, but it is not in Tandem EDIT format.
Installing and Running Flow Map Installing Flow Map on the PC 2. Transfer the FLOWMAP file from the ISV to the PC as a binary file using any method you wish. Name it FLOWMAP.EXE. FLOWMAP.EXE should now reside in your C:\FLOWMAP directory. 3. Execute FLOWMAP.EXE. To do this, either: Double-click on FLOWMAP.EXE in the File Manager, or Select FLOWMAP.EXE and choose Run from the File menu. Flow Map expands to several files. See the AAREADME file for a complete list.
Installing and Running Flow Map Installing Flow Map on the PC Below is an example: 7. Select Associate from the Program Manager File menu to confirm that the file extension XLM is associated with Excel 4.0. (This is normally done automatically when you install Excel.) This displays the Associate dialog box. Do the following: a. Enter XLM in the Files With Extension box. b. Confirm that Microsoft Excel Macrosheet appears in the Associate With list box.
Installing and Running Flow Map Installing Flow Map on the PC 8. Click on the Change Icon button of the Program Item Properties dialog box to set up the Flow Map icon. This displays the Change Icon dialog box. a. Enter C:\FLOWMAP\FLOWMAP.ICO in the File Name box: b. Click on OK to return to the Program Item Properties box. c. Click on OK again to return to the Program Manager. The Flow Map program icon now displays in the program group you selected. 9.

3 Flow Map Host This section discusses the Flow Map Host portion of the Flow Map product. It includes information on: Understanding the Flow Map Host components Selecting objects Creating a configuration file Customizing the CONFIG file Creating Flow Map reports Understanding the Flow Map Host (FMH) is the component of the Flow Map product you must run first.
Flow Map Host Understanding the Flow Map Host Components Database Object FMH combines performance counters from the FILE (type 3) and DISKFILE Measure entities into a single Database object. To create a Database object, first Measure FILE entities with the same name are added, and then the counters from all related DISKFILE entities are included. The relationship between FILE and DISKFILE entities is automatically formed using the file label data collected by TPDC.
Flow Map Host Understanding the Flow Map Host Components Sample Processing Object Hierarchy PROCESS Group A Program C PROCESS F PROCESS G Program D PROCESS H PROCESS I Program E PROCESS J PROCESS K Sample Database Object Hierarchy FILE Group A FILE C DISKFILE F Connections DISKFILE G FILE D DISKFILE H DISKFILE I FILE E DISKFILE J DISKFILE K Flow Map generates connection information as well as objects.
Flow Map Host Selecting Objects connection between a PROCESS and a DISKFILE. If a Program has no lower PROCESSes, then the connection is from the Program to the DISKFILE. Selecting Objects Creating a selection of objects that the PC component can manage is one of Flow Map Host’s objectives. A selection of approximately 100 objects is most useful. A selection of approximately 400 objects is at the extreme end of usefulness.
Flow Map Host Selecting Objects Transients An entity is considered transient if it exists for less than the defined percentage of the measurement window. Generally, a transient is an entity that did not exist during the entire TPDC sample. Transients are rare on most well-tuned production systems, but could be numerous on development or test environments. If the entity is transient but transients are not permitted, the entity is rejected and is not subjected to any further processing.
Flow Map Host Selecting Objects 2. Ensuring certain entities take part in Flow Map processing. 3. Overriding or modifying the effects of the EXCLUDE command. An entity referenced by INCLUDE is added to any relevant PROGRAM or FILE object and is subject to DISCARD and thresholds. If an EXCLUDE statement excludes too many PROCESSes, you can include some PROCESSes by using an INCLUDE statement in conjunction with an EXCLUDE statement.
Flow Map Host Selecting Objects A THRESHOLD can be defined for any of the Flow Map objects by specifying numeric values that will be compared against the counter values from the object.
Flow Map Host Selecting Objects Configuration Example The following example shows a configuration used to display a Tandem Transfer Mail application. ! SET APPLICATION-NAME '\SUPPORT MAIL (T003)' SET PROGRESS YES SET DISCARD NO SET APPLY-THRESHOLDS YES SET ALLOW-TRANSIENTS NO SET TRANSIENT-PERCENT 90 ! EXCLUDE PROCESS PROGRAM $*.*.* EXCLUDE FILE FILENAME $*.*.* ! THRESHOLD PROGRAM CPU-BUSY-TIME > 0.5 ! THRESHOLD PROCESS CPU-BUSY-TIME > 0.1 ! THRESHOLD FILE TOTAL-IO > 2.
Flow Map Host Creating A Configuration File Each participating entity falls into one of three groups named TCP ACTIVITY, MAIL SYSTEM, or MAIL FILES. The lack of any INCLUDE statements and the use of the EXCLUDE statements means that these groups will result in only three icons appearing on the initial Flow Map PC screen. There are no GROUP thresholds, so there is a good chance that the groups will be created as long as least one entity falls into each of the groups.
Flow Map Host Creating A Configuration File SET The SET command is used to define global variables. The variables can replace defaults assumed by other commands and functions or have an effect in their own right. SET variable name value variable name is one of: APPLICATION-NAME APPLY-THRESHOLDS TRANSIENT-PERCENT ALLOW-TRANSIENTS DISCARD PROGRESS APPLICATION-NAME defines the name given to the Flow Map configuration. The value is a text string from 1 to 20 characters.
Flow Map Host Creating A Configuration File NO. This setting applies to all entities. Setting this variable to NO can dramatically reduce FMH processing time if the measured system contains several transients. For example: SET ALLOW-TRANSIENTS NO DISCARD defines whether PROCESS Processing objects or DISKFILE Database objects should be excluded. The possible values are YES and NO. The default is YES. You can use the DISCARD clause in GROUP and INCLUDE commands to override this variable.
Flow Map Host Creating A Configuration File DISKFILE is a DISKFILE Database object. FILE is a FILE Database object. FILE GROUP is a FILE GROUP Database object. threshold description field name [< | > | = ] value [NORATED | RATED] If multiple threshold descriptions are specified, all of the threshold descriptions must pass. field name is a valid attribute from a subset of the relevant objects. Processing objects can be any PROCESS Group, Program, or PROCESS.
Flow Map Host Creating A Configuration File [< | > | =] specifies a comparison operator. The comparison operator will be one of less than (<), greater than (>), or equality (=). Greater than (>) is assumed if no operator is specified. value is a numeric value. NORATED | RATED indicates whether the value represents a rated or not rated quantity. NORATED assumes that the value is an absolute count or time value in milliseconds.
Flow Map Host Creating A Configuration File GROUP PROCESS The GROUP command has two different formats. One format is for grouping PROCESS entities and the other is for grouping FILE entities. The GROUP PROCESS command groups PROCESS entities and gives them a common logical name. All counters for the PROCESS entities and related DISCOPEN and FILE entities are added to provide a single physical object for name. GROUP PROCESS 'name' [PID {cpu | *,pin | *. . .} [NOT {cpu | *,pin | *. . .

Flow Map Host Creating A Configuration File NOT {. . .} specifies negation items that allow specific limitations to a preceding list where a wild card may have selected a superset. Considerations The positive selection lists given by PID, NAME, PROGRAM, OSNAME, USER, CREATORID, and PRIORITY are accumulated. Any NOT lists remove the selected items from the total accumulated list. The specified group is empty if none of PID, NAME, PROGRAM, OSNAME, USER, CREATORID, or PRIORITY is specified.
Flow Map Host Creating A Configuration File pass any defined thresholds for PROCESS GROUP objects. All participating process objects are retained and will form part of the resultant map. GROUP PROCESS 'Pathway' PROGRAM $*.*.PATHTCP2 $DATA5.OBJ.SERV* $SYSTEM.COMMON.* APPLY-THRESHOLDS YES DISCARD NO The operating system overheads are all $MONITOR and $VIRTUAL processes. The THRESHOLD and DISCARD clauses are allowed to default.
Flow Map Host Creating A Configuration File GROUP FILE The GROUP FILE command operates much like GROUP PROCESS, but Measure FILE entities are the selected entities and the resultant object includes both FILE and DISKFILE counters. The link between FILE and DISKFILE entities is accomplished through the TPDC file label entities. GROUP FILE 'name' [FILENAME {$volume.subvol.filename . . .} [NOT {$volume.subvol.filename . . .
Flow Map Host Creating A Configuration File INCLUDE PROCESS The INCLUDE command has two different formats. One format is for PROCESS entities and the other is for FILE entities. The INCLUDE command selects the entities that will participate in Flow Map processing. All entities present in the data sample are selected if no INCLUDE commands are specified. You can use this command to override or modify the effects of EXCLUDE commands.
Flow Map Host Creating A Configuration File OSNAME {osname . . .} | * defines Operating System (OS) processes that execute from the OSIMAGE object file. Use OSNAME to select OS process types; some cannot normally be identified by other means. You cannot use a wild card. All OSIMAGE processes are selected when a single * is specified.
Flow Map Host Creating A Configuration File NOT {. . .} specifies negation items that allow specific limitations to a preceding list where a wild card may have selected a superset. Considerations for INCLUDE PROCESS Commands APPLY-THRESHOLDS overrides the SET APPLY-THRESHOLDS command and applies to Program and PROCESS Processing objects. DISCARD overrides the SET DISCARD command for the PROCESSes referenced in the INCLUDE command. Example This example ensures all PROCESSes from $SYSTEM.
Flow Map Host Creating A Configuration File DISCARD overrides the SET DISCARD command for the DISKFILEs referenced in the INCLUDE command. Example This example ensures all FILEs from $DATA.ACCOUNTS are included for Flow Map processing. INCLUDE FILE FILE $DATA.ACCOUNTS.* EXCLUDE PROCESS The EXCLUDE command has two different formats. One format is for PROCESS entities and the other is for FILE entities. The EXCLUDE command prevents identified entities from participating in Flow Map processing.
Flow Map Host Creating A Configuration File OSNAME {osname . . .} | * defines Operating System (OS) processes that execute from the OSIMAGE object file. Use OSNAME to select OS process types; some cannot normally be identified by other means. You cannot use a wild card. All OSIMAGE processes are selected when a single * is specified.
Flow Map Host Creating A Configuration File objects referenced in GROUP and INCLUDE commands take part in the Flow Map run. EXCLUDE PROCESS EXCLUDE FILE PROGRAM $*.*.* The EXCLUDE command has two different formats. One format is for PROCESS entities and the other is for FILE entities. The EXCLUDE command prevents identified entities from participating in Flow Map processing. The following syntax is for FILE entities: EXCLUDE FILE [FILENAME {$volume.subvol.filename . . .} [NOT {$volume.subvol.filename .
Flow Map Host Customizing the CONFIG File Customizing the CONFIG File The CONFIG file is shipped with the Flow Map Host object file. This is a template configuration file that should cause a reasonable diagram to be created for most systems. The CONFIG file is in EDIT format and all entries are free format, each beginning with a single word command. Each line is 80 characters long, and text can wrap around onto continuation lines.

Flow Map Host Creating Flow Map Reports Processes The Processes section shows the file name portion of the program file name and a process name if one is present. CPU and PIN are always shown.
Flow Map Host Creating Flow Map Reports Files The Files section shows the owning FILE Group bubble and the total FILE entity IO count. The Dfiles field shows how many DISKFILE objects have been generated. A blank in this field means that the DISKFILE objects were rejected, possibly because of a threshold or a DISCARD option.
Flow Map Host Creating Flow Map Reports Process to Process Connections The Process to Process Connections entries give a brief identification of each side of a connection. The 'From Type' and 'To Type' fields can show PROCESS Group (Group), Program (Prog), or PROCESSes (Proc) information. In the example below, only Process is shown as all connections take place between processes. However, if DISCARD YES had been specified, the connections would have been shown as coming from and going to Programs (Prog).
Flow Map Host Creating Flow Map Reports Process to File Connections The Process to File Connections part of the report is similar to the Process to Process Connections entries, except that the target of each connection is a Database object. The 'To Type' can be Group, FILE, or DISKFILE (Dfile). The full file-name is shown for Dfile and FILE types and the group name is shown for a FILE Group. The example shown below is a portion of the real data.
Flow Map Host Creating Flow Map Reports The connection counts and bubble counts at the end of the report indicate the effectiveness of thresholding values and other data reduction clauses. Only 67 bubbles were assigned in this example, but the connection counts totaled over 400. This illustrates the possible complexity of a fairly simple application.
Flow Map Host Creating Flow Map Reports Progress Messages The Progress Messages report is a console message log. Each message reported includes a time stamp and the elapsed time since the run began. Only opening and closing messages are reported if the default SET PROGRESS NO is given.

It includes information on: Understanding Flow Map PC diagrams Using the menus Using the toolbar Understanding Flow Map PC Diagrams Flow Map PC displays information as a flow diagram which illustrates how the processes and files interact with each other. FMP displays Measure performance statistics for each application object and connection on a Flow Map diagram.
Flow Map PC Understanding Flow Map PC Diagrams Figure 4-1 shows how Flow Map PC represents objects. In general, ellipses represent process objects, sectioned cylinders represent file objects, and lines with arrows show the message flow among process and file objects. In the figure, TCP and the two servers are single processes, Disk Processes is a process group, Database is a file group, and Log File is a single file. The arrows connecting objects show which way data flows among objects on the diagram.
Flow Map PC Using the Menus Using the Menus Note There are seven menus that you can use to work with Flow Map PC. This subsection briefly describes each menu, shows the menu items, and explains how you can use the entries to create and manage flow diagrams. The examples in this section show the Flow Map toolbar docked at the bottom of the Flow Map Excel Window. You can dock the toolbar on any side of the Excel window by dragging it to the edge where you want it docked.
