This screen displays DBEFile I/O information.

To invoke the SampleIO screen, use the s command from the SampleIO subsystem or the /sa command from other subsystems. For more information about using the SAMPLEIO subsystem, see the chapter "Troubleshooting with SQLMON."

Field Definitions

REFRESH

The screen refresh rate, in seconds.

SORTSAMPLEIO

An indicator of how the DBEFiles are sorted. The DBEFiles are sorted in descending order by the value in the column indicated by the asterisk. In the example above, the DBEFiles are sorted by the TOTALIO values. For more information, see the description of the SET SORTSAMPLEIO command.

DBEFILESET

The name of the DBEFileSet to which the DBEFile has been added.

DBEFILE

The name of the DBEFile belonging to the DBEFileSet.

SWAPIN

An approximation of read I/O for the DBEFile.

SWAPOUT

An approximation of write I/O for the DBEFile.

TOTALIO

The sum of the SWAPIN and SWAPOUT values. This value approximates the total I/O.

Display Conventions

When the DISPLAYSAMPLES variable is set to ON, a row displayed in inverse video indicates that DBEFile I/O has occurred during the most recent refresh interval.
