Determines whether a SampleIO screen or a sampling scale is displayed when samples are collected from the data buffer pool

Scope

SQLMON Only

SQLMON Syntax

SET DI [SPLAYSAMPLES] [ ON OFF ]

Parameters

ON

When SAMPLING is ON and you access a SampleIO screen, SQLMON displays the screen for the number of refresh cycles that you have set with SET CYCLE.

OFF

When SAMPLING is ON and you access a SampleIO screen, SQLMON displays a scale instead of the screen. Each time SQLMON completes a refresh cycle, it displays a period beneath the scale. The default value.

Description

  • If SAMPLING is OFF and you access a Sample IO screen, SQLMON displays the screen showing activity since the last SET DBENVIRONMENT command.

  • The following is an example scale:

       SQLMONITOR SAMPLEIO => /sa
    
    
    
    
    
       SAMPLING = ON
    
       REFRESH  = 10    (One set of samples will be taken every 10 seconds).
    
       CYCLE    = 5     (A total of 5 sets of samples will be taken, then you
    
                         will automatically return to the SQLMONITOR prompt).
    
    
    
       --------10--------20--------30--------40--------50
    
       12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890
    
       .....
    
    
    

  • The scale is only printed when SAMPLING is ON, DISPLAYSAMPLES is OFF, and you access a SampleIO subsystem screen. The scale helps you to identify the number of samples that have been taken.

  • The REFRESH variable determines the number of seconds that SQLMON pauses for each refresh cycle. The data buffer pool is sampled 25 times during each refresh cycle.

  • The CYCLE variable determines the number of refresh cycles that will be executed before returning to the SQLMON prompt. If CYCLE is OFF, you must press return to break out of the sampling loop:

       SQLMONITOR SAMPLEIO => /sa
    
    
    
    
    
       SAMPLING = ON
    
       REFRESH  = 10    (One set of samples will be taken every 10 seconds).
    
       CYCLE    = OFF    No limit has been set for the number of samples to
    
                         be taken. You must press RETURN when you wish to
    
                         return to the SQLMONITOR prompt.)
    
    
    
       --------10--------20--------30--------40--------50
    
       12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890
    
       ...........RETURN
    
    
    

Examples

To view screens in the SampleIO subsystem, first issue the following command:

   SQLMONITOR SAMPLEIO => SET DISPLAYSAMPLES ON

You can then invoke the screen you wish to display.

If you omit the last parameter, SQLMON prompts you for it, as follows:

   SQLMONITOR SAMPLEIO => SET DISPLAYSAMPLES



   ON/OFF: ON
