Overwhelmed by all of the onstat options? Need to find which commands work with ER and which work with HDR? With generous help from Tech Support, the ID team has produced an onstat Quick Reference Card and an onstat portal that lists onstat utility commands by functional category. Categories include:
- Archive Information Options
- Cache Information Options
- Debugging Options
- Enterprise Replication Options
- High-Availability Replication Options
- I/O Options
- Locks and Latches Options
- Logs Options
- Memory Options
- Other useful onstat Utility Options
- Network Options
- Performance Checks (First Tier)
- Performance Checks (Second Tier)
- Table Options
- Thread Options
- User/Session Options
- Virtual Processor Options
- Waiting Options
Each category represents a different IDS feature for which onstat commands provide troubleshooting and performance information. Commands that appear in bold typeface are especially useful for providing troubleshooting information. Certain onstat commands are specific to one category while others provide general information and are listed in more than one category. The card is designed as a double-sided trifold brochure and looks best when printed in color.
The quick reference card can be found here (you'll need to log in with your IBM ID):
