GLOBAL
[ON ]

[BOTH ]
[OFF ]
The GLOBAL command selects how much global data is extracted or exported.
The default is GLOBAL DETAIL.
DETAIL
The DETAIL parameter specifies that raw detail collected at 5-minute
intervals is to be extracted.
Detail data must be placed into an extracted file before you can draw any
HP LaserRX/MPE global graphs with points every 5 minutes.
SUMMARY
The SUMMARY parameter specifies that raw data should be summarized hourly
before being extracted.
Summarization reduces the size of the global data to about one-twelfth
that of the detail data.
Summarized data will be graphed on HP LaserRX/MPE Analysis Software more
quickly since it takes fewer data records to produce a graph.
If summary data is not placed into the extracted file, then hourly
summaries can be graphed, but the summaries are generated from the detail
data each time a graph is drawn.
HP LaserRX/MPE Global graphs cannot be drawn with data points every 5
minutes if only global summaries are extracted.
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 the hourly summary
records while permitting you to draw HP LaserRX/MPE Global graphs with
points every 5 minutes.
The disc space required to extract both detail and summary data is about
8 percent more than the space needed for extracted detail data alone.
OFF
The OFF parameter specifies that no global data is to be extracted.
NOTE This option is not recommended with the current Performance
Collection Software product since you must have global data to
properly understand overall system behavior. HP LaserRX/MPE Global
graphs cannot be drawn unless the extracted file contains at least
one type of global data.
