MEASDDLZ
MEASDDLZ
In Measure G11 and later PVUs, the MEASDDLZ file contains ZMS-style record
templates using legacy-style naming for records and field access. MEASDDLZ is a
temporary migration aid for applications moving to use of ZMS-style records.
MEASDECS
The MEASDECS file contains the structure declarations and literal value definitions
used by the Measure callable procedures.
MEASFH
MEASFH is the measurement data file-handler process. It performs these functions:
•
Creates and initializes data files
•
Validates the format of new measurement configurations
•
Builds indexes with entries for each record in a measurement data file
•
Builds viewable counter records from data in the measurement data file
•
Provides information about measurement configurations
Each MEASFH process handles one measurement data file. MEASCOM creates a
MEASFH process whenever you start a measurement or examine the contents of a
data file.
MEASIMMU
The MEASIMMU file contains the text for Measure error messages and online help
displays.
MEASMON
MEASMON is the subsystem monitoring and coordinating process. It performs these
functions:
•
Creates Measure control processes (MEASCTLs) in each processor of the system
•
Sends a copy of each measurement configuration to the MEASCTL processes
whenever a measurement starts or a processor is restarted
•
Sends control messages to and gathers status information from the MEASCTL
processes
•
Starts and stops measurements and the Measure subsystem
MEASMON runs as a process pair.
