Measure Reference Manual

process has a PXLINK cache. The PXLINK cache not only keeps copies of PXLINK records, it
also remembers unsuccessful name lookups. If the name is looked up again, it is not necessary
to reread the PXLINK file to discover again that the name does not exist.
PROCESS
The PROCESS entity provides information about one or more processes on a local system.
In Measure G09 and later PVUs, the PROCESS entity type handles OSS file pathnames.

Entity Specification Syntax for PROCESS Entities
To describe PROCESS entities:
PROCESS entity-spec [,entity-spec] ...
PROCESS
collects information about one or more processes on the local system.
entity-spec
is specified as:
{ * }
{ pid }
{ $process-name [ ( pid ) ] }
{ [[$device.]subvolume.]filename[:crvsn] [ ( pid ) ] }
{ "pname" [ ( pid ) ] }
where:
*
measures all processes on the local system.
pid
is the process identifier of the process to be measured. Specify pid as one of:
{ cpu,pin }
{ SYSTEM-PROCESSES }
cpu
is the number of the CPU on which the process to be measured is running. To indicate
all CPUs, use an asterisk (*). The default is all CPUs.
pin
is the process identification number of the process to be measured. To indicate all
processes, use an asterisk (*). The default is all processes.
SYSTEM-PROCESSES
measures all processes installed using the SYSGEN program.
$process-name
is the name of the process to be measured. Use an asterisk (*) to specify all processes.
