Option/parameter Description

-t {summary	Specifies the report type. Valid report types are:
conflict hourly	summary (default)	Provides a high-level view of resource use and is a
daily weekly		good starting point when creating a new PRM
monthly}		configuration.
[LINEBREAK]Abbreviated		See also the -1option.
form:[LINEBREAK]-t {s	conflict	Provides a detailed view of resource use and is good
c h d w m}
		for fine-tuning a PRM configuration.
		This report requires a resource_density that is
		set using the prmanalyze -doption or defaults to
		a value specified in the -ddescription.
		Whenever resource use exceeds the
		resource_density, a “conflict” occurs. Each
		conflict is reported separately, with its start time, stop
		time, peak consumption, and a list of the processes
		(grouped by sort type) that contributed to the conflict.
		This report is generated using averages and assumes
		that resource consumption rates remain relatively
		constant over the life of the process.
		Granularity of the conflict report is to the minute.
	hourly	Divides the accounting files into one-hour slices. This
		report can help you spot common time-based usage
		patterns where you might use PRM to prevent
		contention. Partial hours at the end of the accounting
		files are not reported.
	daily, weekly, monthly	These reports provide higher-level views of the same
		data given in the hourly report. These reports can
		help you determine peaks, overall trends, and usage
		patterns.
		The weekly and monthly reports are most commonly
		used for resource planning and billing purposes.
	Each report type can be abbreviated using its first letter.
-p	Requests that available accounting information for all currently running processes be
	added to the report.
	This option allows you to get data on server applications that run indefinitely and
	consequently are not tracked in the accounting files.
-1	Removes all values that are less than 1% of the total.
	This option can be used with any report, but is most often used when generating a
	summary report (-t summary). It makes the report shorter and easier to read.
	This option is most useful when sorting by command (-s command) or when determining
	the biggest resource consumers.
	When using this option, values in the total column may not sum to 100%.
-E	Generates reports using the exponential format (x.yE+p, which equates to x.y times
	10p).
	This option is most useful when generating a monthly report (-t monthly) for disk or
	memory, and the total values or peak values are in the terabyte range.
