The Activity tab was designed to answer questions such as, "What happened yesterday, as well as a month ago and a year ago?" and "What has been the performance level of my applications over time.".

Data in the Activity tab is available up to the last time slice that ended (information on the last minute is available in the Current tab). The Activity tab is usually the place to identify and investigate tuning problems.

When working in the Activity tab, you can choose to work on a specific entity or to view information on all the databases in the application.

Info

...

You usually switch to the Activity tab, after focusing on a database partition in the Dashboard tab, or by launching Precise for DB2 from another product (Insight, Alerts, or Report Manager). In these cases, the product automatically focuses on the relevant database partition.

When you do not select a specific database partition to view in-context, a summary of the performance information on All database partitions in the application is displayed. You can analyze the average behavior of the entire Precise for DB2 Tier. You can then identify the database partition which consumes the most resources in your system and focus on it to further your investigation.

When you focus on a specific database partition (either as a result of launching or from the Activity tree) you can also identify which is the dominant resource consumed, in terms of CPU, I/O lock, etc. By identifying your system’s wait type you can formulate an idea as to what kind of solutions will help you improve your system.Note:

Info

If you are working with SAP, PeopleSoft, or Siebel, and ERP support is installed, the Activity tab displays information on the historical Precise for DB2 activity in relation to the ERP application and users, and specific information on executed views and transactions.

When you open the Activity tab from the Dashboard tab, information on the database partition selected in the Dashboard is displayed, or on All DB2 Databases if the All row was selected. When you open the Activity tab from another tab, the settings from your last visit to the Activity tab are retained, such as a drill down to a Statement entity. This is similar to clicking the History button and returning to a previous tab.

...

You can use the Filter dialog box to filter the Details pane so that only the contribution of certain entities is included. See “Filtering data” on page 19 Filtering data.

The Activity tab is divided into two areas, the Tree pane and the Details pane. A breakdown of the entities that are associated with the selected entity is displayed in the Tree pane. Information on the entity you selected is displayed in the Details pane.

...

The duration value displayed next to each entry reflects the duration of each instance in the selected entity, according to the sort parameter you selected. The sort parameter is displayed next to each entity. The default entity for the top entity in the tree is In DB2 time. See “About About configuring your settings” on page 17settings.

Determining what information is displayed in the Tree

...

To determine what information to display in the tree1    Right

  1. Right-click on an entity in the tree, and then click Sort and Filter.

...

  1. In the Associate With dialog box, on the Entries tab, select the entity you want to associate data with from the Populate table with list.

...

  1. In the Sort entries by list, determine according to which criteria you want the information to be sorted and in which order.

...

  1. From the Display top list, select the number of rows to display.

...

  1. On the Criteria tab, do the following for each entity you want to associate data with:
    From the left drop-down

...

  1. list, select an entity.
    From the middle drop-down

...

  1. list, select an operator, such as, Like, <>, Not Like, In, Not In.
    In the text

...

  1. box, type the criteria (case-sensitive) for the selected entity.
    If you select the operator Like or Not Like, you can use the % wildcard character. If you select the operator In or Not In, type a comma to separate values.

...

  1. Click OK.

About viewing information for entities associated with a selected entity

...

You can switch to a different time frame and view additional information on the selected entity that was collected for that time frame. Only the information in the subnodes sub-nodes of the entity you have selected is refreshed.

To select a different time frame1    Click

  1. Click on the entity in the tree.

...

  1. In the Time Frame list, select a different time frame than the one already being displayed.
    Notice that only the information for the selected entity is refreshed, and it is moved up to the top of the tree.

Refreshing a view

The Refresh option refreshes the display from the PMDB. To refresh the information displayed1    Right

  1. Right-click on an entity in the tree.

...

  1. Click Refresh.

Printing the Tree display

You can print an image of what is displayed on the Tree. To print the Tree display1    Right

  1. Right-click on an entity in the tree.

...

  1. Click Print.

...

  1. Use the print functions of your browser to print out an image of the information displayed on the Tree.

About the Details pane in the Activity tab

...

The Details pane displays information corresponding only to the selected tree branch (displayed in the Tree pane). For example, if you drill down on the Programs category associated to a selected Database Partition item, the Details pane displays only information for the Programs under the selected Database Partition item. The selection you make is reflected in the Details pane only; the Tree display remains unchanged.

Info

...

When drilling down in the tree, we filter according to the parent entity. There are two exceptions to this rule: drilling down from Tablespaces to Objects and drilling down from Objects to other entities. For example, drilling down from Objects to Statements does not filter Statements in DB2.

For some entities, tabs at the top of the Details pane enable you to view additional information. For example, the tabs displayed for a Statement entity are: General and In DB2. Clicking a tab displays different table columns with the same type of associated entities.

When database files are stored on an EMC Storage unit and the Precise for Storage agent is installed, a tab named Storage is displayed. The tab presents a list of storage device used by the DB Partition entity. For each storage device it displays statistics regarding Cache Hit Ratio, Containers and Table Spaces, Requests amounts, Throughput, and I/O rate. See “Storage tab” on page 46 Storage tab.

When information on a selected entity is displayed in table and graph format in the Details pane, there is a direct correlation between the selected entry in the table and the information displayed in the graph below the table. Selecting a different row changes the information displayed in the graph displayed below the table.

...

The Activity tab displays information on different entities. This section provides an overview of all entities, their meaning, and their views. See “The The Precise for DB2 Time Model” on page 12Model.
