Entity and Attribute Definitions
Tandem Performance Data Collector (TPDC) Manual—526357-001
A-5
TERMINAL Data Collection TERMINAL counters and linkages. The
TERMINAL entity contains information about the
terminal I/O.
TIME Data Collection A time management entity that gives execution
information and LCT and GMT base times.
TIMETPL Data Collection A time management entity that gives a single
ordered timeline for all entities measured.
TMF Data Collection TMF counters and linkages, if TMF is used. The
TMF entity contains information about the
Transaction Management Facility (TMF).
TOC
SPAM This table of contents contains section numbers
and logical report names of all the reports that you
requested TPRODUCE to generate.
TPDCNME
Data Collection A TPDC name entity contains unique 1 - 8
character subvolume and file names.
UNLINES
SPAM Contains the sum of selected counts for the line.
(You can maintain line counts in separate LINE
entities, for example the read unit and the write
unit.)
USERNME Data Collection An ASCII name entity that identifies user group
and user names.
USERNUM Data Collection A NonStop Kernel-derived entity that provides user
ID number information.
VLDFTOT
SPAM Contains total logical disk file I/Os and total logical
busy time for all opens of disk files with the same
system/volume prefix.
VSIOTOT
SPAM Contains the total of key DISCOPEN counters for
all opens of all disk files with the same volume
name.
WORKLOAD
SPAM Contains apportioned PROCESS data, aggregated
over program file name.
