APPLICATION 

            [ON     ]
            [DETAIL ]
APPLICATION [SUMMARY]
            [BOTH   ]
            [OFF    ]
The APPLICATION command selects the type of application data that will be
extracted or exported.

The default is APPLICATION OFF.

DETAIL or ON 

The DETAIL or ON parameter specifies that raw, 5-minute detail data
should be extracted.

When using the HP LaserRX/MPE Analysis software, detail data must be
included in an extracted file in order to zoom on application details or
use the file to draw application graphs with points every 5 minutes.

SUMMARY 

The SUMMARY parameter specifies that raw data should be summarized into
one data point per hour before being extracted.  Summarization reduces
the size of the application data to about one-tenth of the size of the
detail data.  Summarized data will be graphed more quickly since it takes
fewer data records to produce a graph.

If summary data is not placed into the extracted file, hourly summaries
can still be graphed, but the summaries will be generated from the detail
data each time a graph is drawn.

If only application summaries are extracted, HP LaserRX/MPE application
graphs with data points every 5 minutes cannot be drawn, and application
zoom will return no data.

BOTH 

The BOTH parameter specifies that 5-minute detail data and hourly summary
data are to be extracted.

This option maintains the speed of access gained with hourly summary
records, while allowing HP LaserRX/MPE application graphs with points
every 5 minutes.

The disc space required to extract both detail and summary data is about
10 percent more than the space needed for extracted detail data alone.

OFF 

The OFF parameter specifies that no application data is to be extracted.
