Collecting I/O usage information tells you where your application is performing I/O operations, and gives detailed information on each I/O operation it records. Collecting I/O information can give you more detailed information than you can get from collecting system services information. To collect I/O usage information on your application: o Compile and link your application with the PCA Collector o Run your application. This causes the PCA Collector to take control of your application. PCA diplays the Collector main window on your screen. o From the File pull-down menu, create a data file into which the Collector places performance data. o Choose the I/O Usage query category. o Click on the specific I/O query you are interested in getting information on. o Click on Collect in the Collector main window. For information on displaying the results of the I/O Usage queries, refer to: o The hardcopy manual, Guide to DIGITAL Performance and Coverage Analyzer for OpenVMS Systems o The online help for the PCA Analyzer.
