Ploticus/iX

- Global LaserRX Reports -


Background
HP discontinued LaserRX and replaced it with MeasureWare PerfView on Windows NT/2000 to access the Scope/iX data.
While LaserRX was able to access the Scope/iX data files directly, the NT tool requires before you can start to analyze the data.
To reduce this to one step (the Scope/iX EXPORT) by creating files which are accessible directly on HP e3000 via you may want to use Ploticus/iX.

My practice is the following:
[Hint]It bases on [Link] TEST4X and requires [Link] PLOTX command file.
Please see the remarks on these files - just follow the links!

Example: To see the Global CPU Utilization of the last seven days, type :GLOCI GLOCPU,7. The result will look like [Link] this (58KB).
To get the same in png format, type :GLOCI GLOCPU,7,png. The result will look like [Link] this (10KB).

Here all ported LaserRX Global Graphs:
[Hint]  To access all six different pictures per LaserRX Graph I created as examples just click [Link] here.

Remark:
Please take into consideration that the setup fits on the HP3000 I use for these graphs. Some parameters in the X-files may need an adoption for YOUR HPe3000!
