GPA Optional Report
GPA Optional Report
When you select at least one section of the GPA Optional Report, a page at the
beginning of the report summarizes your selections. Example 3-16 is an example.
Summary Section
Choosing the summary option produces a table describing the distribution of programs
or process names within the class by count. In the case of the SYSTEM class, the
section describes the activity of process names, while for all other classes, the section
describes the activity of programs. GPA handles classes differently because all the
processes in the SYSTEM class are contained in the single object file, OSIMAGE. Not
breaking OSIMAGE into process names would provide little performance information to
you. Example 3-17
shows a sample summary section.

(1) Parameter Name: The parameter name describes the process classes. An
asterisk (*) also describes the process classes. (See Process and Busy
Distribution Analyses earlier in this section for definitions of these classes.)
(2) Parameter Value: The parameter value corresponds to the section-type
that you specified when you set the PARAM. This entry will be either DETAIL
or NOPRINT. The reports that are marked with an asterisk (*) can have a
