Using the DATABASE
SAMPLES Screens
The left of each screen lists the logical file name of each TRANSFER database file that
TMANAGER monitors. The last two files on Page 2 of the screen, the P1MsgID file
and the P2MsgID file, are displayed only if the node is a TRANSFER X400 gateway
node.
The top of the screen displays the time of the current sample.
You can retrieve different sets of sample data for the database files by pressing Latest
Sample (SF4), which gets you the most recent set of sample data; Later Sample (F4);
and Earlier Sample (F5). Because records are kept in reverse chronological order, F5
moves you backward in time to earlier data and F4 moves you forward in time to
more recent data.
To get detailed, current information about a file, place the cursor before that file name
and press F7 to get the FILE DETAIL screen. The discussion of the FILE DETAIL
screen follows this section.
Interpreting the Numbers Consider the following as you interpret the numbers on the DATABASE SAMPLES
screen:
If a file is less than 1% full but is not empty when the current sample is taken, a
value of 1% is displayed in the %Full column.
For partitioned files, the EOF field is set to 0 because the EOF number has meaning
only within each partition. To access detailed information, including the EOF, for
each partition, place the cursor before the file name and press F7 to get the FILE
DETAIL screen.
