The Records view
The Records view contains records that build a history
of statistics and performance-related data that you can customize
to view in various types of reports.
The Sheet view
The Sheet view displays the selected data as a spreadsheet.
You can display all or some of the data and you can sort the data
in each column by clicking the column name. The columns can be repositioned
and resized by left-clicking the edge of the column and dragging to
the wanted position. You can select one or more transactions for more
detailed analysis, and view the new selection in a new Sheet view.
The Reports view
The Reports view displays the reports that you can run
to view the data in your database.
The Properties view
The Properties view provides you with an alternative way
to view a single record selected in the Sheet view. You can only display
information about one record at a time. You can copy information from
the Properties view and paste it into a file in the Project Explorer
view or another application such as a spreadsheet.
The Alerts view
The Alerts view provides details of statistical alerts
that have been generated on the PA host server and loaded into the DB2® database. You can use alerts
to display data sets with a specific criteria that can be monitored
easily on a day to day basis. See the Using Alerts topic
for more information about using alerts. If you want to view data
trends in your system over a specified period of time, see the Using reports topic.
