About this task

Related tasks:

Before you can use this function, you must have performed the tasks described in:
- Collecting data
- Creating activity reports and bpd files. Here, only bpd files are of interest.
- Downloading files from the host to the client
  A buffer pool data file must be available on the client (the file with the recommended file name extension bpd).

General remarks:

Your client should have approximately 40 MB of available physical memory (random access memory) for this function. You can check this in the Windows Task Manager. Close other applications, if necessary.
The data used for this function reflects the performance for the interval for which trace data was collected and for the time frame that was specified with the GLOBAL and the BPACTIVITY command when the bpd file was created.
