MW42

---

The MW42 tool is designed to assist with diagnosing issues which relate to a gradual build up of resource usage over a period of time. It records information from a series of both jBASE and operating system tools, collecting data on such things as system configuration, process status, memory usage, disk space, state of jBASE daemons etc.



Note: This tool is only available in jBASE 4.1 and later.



COMMAND SYNTAX

Mw42 {-a –f –n –pPot –pp1-p2 –t -uUser –nn1 –nn2 > output.file}



SYNTAX ELEMENTS

Option Description

-a: Display application account instead of currently logged on user name

-f: Display full listing. Normally display is truncated to screen size

-n: Disable check for input (Some platforms block when input is requested)

-pPort: Restrict display to port number specified

-pp1-pp2: Restrict display to ports in the range p1-p2

-s: Display IO stats instead of iSeries JobID (default on other platforms)

-t: Prefix each line with time stamp

-uUser: Restrict display to specified user

-nn1: Interval in seconds between samples

-nn2: Number of samples to take

> output.file: To facilitate further investigation – it is often useful to redirect the mw42 output to a file. Mw42.out is the usual convention.



EXAMPLE

mw42 -f -a -t -n 30 1440 > mw42.out



Produce a full listing for the application account with timestamps on every line without asking for input. Sample every 30 seconds for 1440 samples and pipe the output to mw42.out



NOTES

When setting the interval parameter – care should be taken to not set such a short interval so that monitoring impacts system performance. In addition an mw42.out file can grow to a large size so the location of the file being produced should be considered.
