Bookmarking
You can bookmark the data you navigate to using the Activity Browser to enable quick access to that data in the future.
Most aspects of the data on an Activity Browser page are preserved as part of the bookmark. The state of the details panel and the activity data table page selection are not saved with a bookmark.
Navigating to a bookmarked page (or using the browser's back or forward buttons) does not result in a re-retrieval of the data requested for that view.
What you can bookmark
The aspects of a data request that you can bookmark include:
- System name (the sysname, not the SMFID, except when the source is Archive/Offload)
- Query Monitor subsystem name
- Perspective
- Drill down path
- Name of the current filter
- Indication as to whether the named filter is active
- Interval selection
- TopN selections
What you cannot bookmark
The following fields and aspects of application state are not reflected in bookmarks:
- Application layout
- The details panel state. This includes, which row is selected in the table (and hence what data row is reflected in the activity details table), and which tab is selected.
- Page selector state. Accessing a bookmark shows the first 25 rows of data, regardless of what the start row field displayed at the time the bookmark was made
Some of the above states are maintained when using the web browser's back or forward features. If a page has intervals selected (for example, it is displaying intervals that are not the current interval), then the bookmark might return no results if the intervals roll-off.
