In the following sections, you'll learn some techniques for using
HP GlancePlus with the Workload Manager.
You can use the performance tool of your choice to evaluate current
system performance and, once you have set up workgroups on your system,
evaluate their behavior.
Using GlancePlus to gather information |
 |
To use Workload Manager with GlancePlus, you edit the configuration file
Glancnfg to add workgroups to an existing application class specification
or to define a new application class that corresponds to a workgroup.
When you associate the new WORKGROUP keyword with a Workload Manager
workgroup, the resources used by this process will be added to the resources
used by other processes in the application class.
You can set up GlancePlus applications in three ways, each of which is
explained below.
One application class to one workgroup.
One application class to many workgroups.
One workgroup to many application classes.
Assigning one application class to one workgroup
To define an application class that maps exactly to a single
workgroup, you enter the application name and the name of the
workgroup in the configuration file. For example, the following
specification defines an application called Data Entry and
maps it to the Data_Entry workgroup:
APPLICATION=Data Entry
WORKGROUP=Data_Entry
|
This application class contains all processes that are members of the
Data_Entry workgroup, and no other processes.
Assigning one application class to many workgroups
You may want to define an application class that partitions the
processes in a workgroup into discrete groups. For example, suppose
you have defined the following Sales workgroup:
:newwg Sales;memb_logon=("dept@.@.sales");base=160;limit=180
|
You can then define two different applications to view the processes
in this one workgroup by adding this application class specification
to the glancnfg file:
APPLICATION=Dept1
USER="dept1@.@.sales"
APPLICATION=Dept2
USER="dept2@,@.sales"
|
Assigning one workgroup to many application classes
There may be a situation in which you want one application class to
provide data on multiple workgroups. For example, suppose that you
have defined two workgroups on your system, Billing and Payroll,
but for the purpose of performance evaluation, you can lump them into
one application called Finance. To do so, you would add this
application class specification to your glancnfg file:
APPLICATION=Finance
WORKGROUP=Billing, Payroll
|
Viewing workgroup data in GlancePlus
Once you have set up workgroups in the Glancnfg file, you
can use the new Workload Manager screen to display information about
workgroups. To access the Workload Manager screen, issue the K command
from any window or, at the GlancePlus global window, press the Workload Manager
softkey F1.

 | NOTE:
To analyze a portion of the system workload, use the Filter screen
to select the information that you want to see. Press the F key
to define a filter, enter the appropriate information,
(program, user, or application), and press Return.
