IO Log Program Screen 

This screen provides log buffer pool I/O information for each program
being run by sessions attached to the DBEnvironment.

	       Click here to view figure.
            

To invoke the IO Log Program Screen, use the l p command from the IO
subsystem or the /i l p command from other subsystems.

When you invoke this screen, its counters are set to zero.

Field Definitions 

REFRESH          The screen refresh rate, in seconds.

SESSIONS         The number of DBEnvironment sessions.

SORTIOLOG        An indicator of how the programs are sorted.  In the
                 above example, the programs are sorted by program name,
                 because the SORTIOLOG variable is set to off.
                 Otherwise, the programs are sorted by the value in the
                 column indicated by the asterisk.  For more information,
                 see the SET SORTIOLOG command.

CID              The DBEnvironment connection identification number.

LOG BUFF WR      The number of records written by the session to the log
                 buffer pool.

LOG DISK RD      The number of log pages fetched from disk.  Unless the
                 system has performed a rollforward recovery, this value
                 is zero.  The operating system performs a physical read
                 only if the log page is not found in the operating
                 system buffer pool.

LOG DISK WR      The number of log pages written from the log buffer pool
                 to disk.  To ensure data integrity in case of a system
                 crash, ALLBASE/SQL instructs the operating system to
                 perform a physical write for each log buffer write.

PROGRAM NAME     The name of the program being run.  All of the sessions
                 running a program are listed beneath the PROGRAM NAME.

AVERAGE          For a given column, the average amount of work performed
                 by the processes in the list.

                 Each program has a list of processes beneath it.  Each
                 process has a line of information, which shows
                 percentages in each column.  The line shows the exact
                 percentages of work each process performs, in each
                 column.  The AVERAGE field, however, shows the average
                 amount of work each process performs.

                 (For example, in the screen above, process 18371
                 performs 97% of the LOG BUFF WR activity that occurs in
                 the DBEnvironment.)
