Measure Reference Manual

corresponding 64-bit field returns the correct value, and the 32-bit field returns a value of -1.
The ERROR field for the measured entity also returns -1 to indicate an overflow condition.
Convert your applications to use the 64-bit fields; 32-bit fields might be deactivated in a future
release.
In MEASCOM commands and in command (OBEY) files, use the names of the 32-bit fields.
For example, issue the command LIST CPU BY DISC-IOS, not LIST CPU BY DISC-IOS-F.
MEASCOM uses the names of the 32-bit fields in output displays such as reports and plots.
• In Measure G05 and later PVUs, sponsored and unsponsored memory pages are available.
Pages are sponsored in memory by the process that causes them to be present (usually, but
not always, the process that defines the segment). If a process that is the sponsor of shared
pages terminates, the pages become temporarily unsponsored. The next sharing process to
reference an unsponsored page becomes the sponsor for that page. These CPU counters
provide information about unsponsored pages:
UNSP-PAGES-STARTUNSP-PAGES-QTIME
UNSP-PAGES-ENDUNSP-PAGES-QLEN-MAX
• For a discussion of the different types of message system transfer protocols and concepts,
(pre-push, post-pull, linker and listener, and so on), see the NonStop S-Series Server Description
Manual.
• In Measure G08 and later PVUs, Measure has several new counters for ServerNet Cluster
support.
• The number of free CIDs in a processor is determined by the maximum number of CIDs allowed
and the current usage by all active measurements. Twenty-four CIDs are used for internal list
headers. You can configure the number of CIDs through DEFINEs. This configuration parameter
is read when the START MEASSUBSYS command is issued.
Usage Note for D-Series CPU Entities
In Measure D30 and later PVUs, these counters are no longer supported:
ENDING-SDS-LOCKSTARTING-SDS-LOCKENDING-UDS-LOCKSTARTING-UDS-LOCK
ENDING-SCL-LOCKSTARTING-SCL-LOCKENDING-UCL-LOCKSTARTING-UCL-LOCK
