1.1 Brief description of the SM2 monitoring system

The SM2 monitoring system provides the user with statistics on the performance of the DP system and on resource utilization.

It consists of the following components:

●the SM2 monitoring program

●the SM2U1 utility routine

●the SM2R1 analysis routine

The SM2 monitoring program collects statistical data and outputs it either to a terminal and/ or to a file. The first option is ideally suited for real-time (online) monitoring. If the data is output to file, the stored data can be analyzed (offline) at a later time.

The SM2U1 utility routine manages the SM2 output files and is occasionally used as a file conversion leader for the SM2R1 analysis routine.

The SM2R1 utility routine manages the statistical data registered by SM2 and written to a system-global SM2 output file.

The following products are also available and can be used to edit and display SM2 monitored data:

●The SM2R1-PC analysis routine is used to graphically display the monitored data on a PC.

●The SM2ONLINE-PC monitoring program is used to simultaneously monitor and display monitored data from several BS2000/OSD computers on a PC.

●The SM2-PA analysis routine is used for user-specific SM2 output files.
