The generic workbook supports multiple types of basic charts, like line, column and stacked area charts. It also allows to plot relationships between data values by using XY scatter charts. So the definition of XY charts differs a little from the definition of other charts:
We
want to plot a relationship between CPU service and ended transactions per
second and we use a XY chart for this purpose.
For XY chart we do not enter an X-axis value.
The Y-axis 1 value is plotted on the X-axis and all other Y-axis values against
it. We also have to make sure that the switch “From ŕ To” is turned off
again.
The chart is described similar to other charts but again the
Y-axis title is used for the X-axis and the Y2-axis title for the Y-axis.
We select the option XYScatter chart
and make sure that all options are turned off
.
Then we press create chart
:
The result chart is depicted below it shows nicely that a simple relationship between the consumed CPU service and the number of ended transactions exist for a service class period. As an example we selected a DDF service class period on the CSREP sheet for which both data values are collected. It should be noted that it is also possible to track multiple different data items against one base item. Most important for this case is that all Y-axis items are plotted against the same Y-axis and therefore need to cover a similar scale.
