Measure Reference Manual

Which network links are measured depends on the entity specification in the measurement
configuration:
• If you specify all systems, the Measure subsystem counts the local end of all messages passed
between the local system and any remote system.
• If you specify a local CPU, the Measure subsystem counts the local end of all messages passed
between the local system and any remote system through the line-handler processes (primary
or backup) in the specified CPU.
• If you specify a remote system, the Measure subsystem counts the local end of all messages
passed between the local system and the remote system.
Entity specification syntax and DDL record Legacy Styles are the same for G-series PVU SYSTEM
entities as for D-series PVU SYSTEM entities.

Entity Specification Syntax for SYSTEM Entities
To describe SYSTEM entities:
SYSTEM entity-spec [,entity-spec] ...
SYSTEM
collects information about network traffic.
entity-spec
is specified as:
{ * }
{ \system [ ( cpu ) ] }
where:
*
measures traffic between the local system and all remote systems.
\system
is the system name or system number of a remote system for which to measure network
traffic.
cpu
is the number of a CPU on the remote system for which to measure network traffic. Use an
asterisk (*) to indicate all CPUs. The default is all CPUs.
DDL Record for All SYSTEM Entities (ZMS Style)
The ZMS Style DDL record for SYSTEM entities is supported in Measure G11 and later PVUs.
The fields included in BRIEF reports are in boldface.
