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.
A process cannot participate in any other group once it has been selected. Entity
selection is performed strictly according to the order of the GROUP statements.
Wild Card Rules
The following rules apply where wild card patterns are accepted:
The question mark (?) and the asterisk (*) are valid wild card characters.
The question mark (?) matches any single character.
The asterisk (*) matches any sequence of zero or more characters.
Examples
The group named 'Accounts Application' contains all processes that execute from all
object files contained in the subvolume $OBJS.ACCOUNTS. The individual process
objects are discarded after accumulation of the process counters. The group object
created is not subject to thresholds.
GROUP PROCESS 'Accounts Application'
PROGRAM $OBJS.ACCOUNTS.*
DISCARD YES
APPLY-THRESHOLDS NO
This example shows how to enter commands so that Flow Map gives the sum of all
disk processing, including all primary, backup, and phantom processes. The group
object is not subject to thresholds and all participating process objects are retained and
will form part of the resultant map.
GROUP PROCESS 'Disc processing'
OSNAME *DP2-P *DP2-B *DP2-?P *DP2-?B
APPLY-THRESHOLDS NO
DISCARD NO
The group named 'Pathway' includes all programs with the file name PATHTCP2, all
programs from $DATA5.OBJ that have a prefix of SERV, and all programs in the
subvol $SYSTEM.COMMON. To be part of the Flow Map run, the group object must
