OVNPM Entities 27
3-2 APPLIFILE
The APPLIFILE domain offers the capability to monitor logical I/Os made by a set of up to 32 individual
processes on a particular data file (local or remote). A set of processes and file name defining an APPLIFILE unit,
(like all units) is configured in the USERCFG file while the APPLIFILE metrics (like all metrics) are configured in the
USERMT file.

APPLIFILE
DescriptionDomain
APPLIFILE represents the I/O executed by an application against a local or a remote
file.
The application consists of named processes.
The file may be a local file (by default) or a remote file. A maximum of 80 processes
are allowed.

Comments
OVNPM accepts four data parameters in the subvolume and file specifications. The
feature enhances OVNPM capability to monitor files with date-time stamped names.
These parameters are:
%yyyy% := Whole year
%yy% := Year
%mm% := Month
%dd% := Day
and combination of these parameters:
%mmdd% := Month & Day
%yymmdd% := Year, Month & Day
The part of
the filename that contains the date parameters is displayed in the Display
Agent in lowercase.
When a non-SQL partitioned file is configured for monitoring, the default size metrics
reported for the primary partition are those for the logical file, i.e. the sum of all the
partitions. You can add a PARTONLY parameter to the primary partition definition to
force the collection of the partition rather than for the file as a whole.
