[Orca-users] Re: Mimicking ORCA data gathering on IBM AIX

[Erik Melander]

Attached is the output from a uniprocessor box (log.out) and an
multi-processor box (log-smp.out).  The comments
at the top of each file explains what each field means.  The data attached
is one full interval.  If more information is
required, please don't hesitate to ask!
 
Thanks.

This is great stuff.  Orca running on AIX would be great.

What is the format of aixmonitor's flat files?  It may be easier just to
modify them slightly into a format that Orca understands instead of
introducing another process, in this case Perl, to manipulate the output
files.

Can you send the first several lines of output?

Best,
Blair
