- Chart area
- The chart provides a graphical representation of the current and
peak active user transactions, over a number of intervals. If enough
intervals are available, the chart shows a maximum of 12 intervals:
six before and five after the selected interval. Each interval is
shown as a separate column in the chart, and shows the time, interval
number, current MAXTASK setting, and number of times at MAXTASK. The
column for the currently selected interval is shaded. The points on
the chart provide an indication of the value, not an actual value.
To see the actual values for an interval, hover over a column to display
a tooltip that shows actual values.
- Data area
- The data area shows specific statistical information about the
transactions during the selected interval. You can click the columns
to change the interval selection.
