Customizing Configuration
HP GlancePlus for MPE/iX comes ready to use. Although it is configured
with a selection of carefully tested defaults, you might want to change
those settings in certain situations. For example, if the interesting
process thresholds cause too many or too few processes to display on the
Global screen, you might want to adjust the thresholds to match the
activity on your system.
You can change GlancePlus parameters in several ways. Some ways are
local to a particular execution of GlancePlus, such as using the V
(Option Values) command to change interesting process thresholds. Other
ways carry forward from one execution to another within the same job or
session.
You can set job control words (JCWs) to have GlancePlus remember settings
within the same job or session. You can also set a JCW using the V
command to allow you to run GlancePlus again from the same job or session
using those values. You can also set JCWs external to GlancePlus--for
example, GLANCE user-defined commands (UDCs) can start GlancePlus with
specific values each time the UDC is used.
You can set the default GlancePlus parameter values for the entire system
by changing the GLANCNFG configuration file. If a file named GLANCNFG
already exists in the same group and account as the GLANCEXL program, it
will be examined for default parameters. You will be allowed to set some
parameters only via the GLANCNFG file (parameters such as controlling
which users may execute the QZAP command).
The GLANCNFG file contains additional information, such as the global
rules for the Expert facility and, sometimes, the definitions for
user-defined applications used by the Filter and Workload screens. (If
you also own the HP LaserRX/MPE or HP GlancePlus Pak programs,
application definitions will probably be found in the PARM.SCOPE.SYS
file.) See the HP Performance Collection Software manual for more
details.
Since you can set parameters in several ways, it is important to
understand what happens if you use more than one way. The hierarchy for
setting parameter values is usually:
Program Defaults which can be overridden by...
GLANCNFG File which can be overridden (in most cases)
by...
Job Control Words which can be overridden by...
