Creating Measure Entities for GPA and Other
Programs (TPLM)
TPDC’s Load Measure (TPLM) component loads the consolidated data and creates
Measure entities, from which you can generate optional reports using GPA and other
programs. Table 3-2 summarizes the TPDC Measure-derived entities. For the
attributes of each entity, see Appendix A, Entity and Attribute Definitions.
Running TPLM
When you run TPLM, you specify when the measurement was started on the system
that you are measuring. TPLM checks the default volume for the measurement data.
You can also print the system configuration reports.
NAME processname
defines the process name that TPLM will run under. processname is optional and
is two to five characters in length. The first character must be $, and the second
character must be an alpha. TPLM will not run unless it is not started as a named
process.
