HP SPT/XL User's Manual: Analysis Software

Intrinsic Categories 

HP SPT/XL allows you to define transactions based on calls to certain
intrinsics.  For example, a transaction could be defined starting with a
call to the intrinsic FREAD against a terminal file.  In order to present
a list of all intrinsics that were called by your application, and thus
the potential boundaries for defining transactions, HP SPT/XL groups the
intrinsics into categories.

If HP SPT/XL did not detect calls to any intrinsic within a particular
category, that category will not be shown on this display.  See appendix
D for a list of which intrinsics are in each category.

When you choose one of these categories the Transaction Definition screen
is displayed, which lists all the intrinsics in the specified category
that were detected during monitoring of the application.

An alternative way to define transactions is to modify your code to
include the STRARTTRAN and ENDTRAN intrinsics as delimiters of
transactions.  See appendix B for details on these intrinsics.

Access this screen by selecting  Redefine Trans or reply YES to the
Define Transactions?  prompt on the Logfile Summary Info screen.  This
displays the Transaction Defaults screen from which you can select  Add 
to List or  Reject List.
