Application Process Overview (PD_APS)
- Organization of this page
Function
The Application Process Overview (PD_APS) record stores performance data that shows the state of a process at a given point in time. One record is created per existing process ID in the system. This record is a multi-instance record.
- Notes:
-
-
This record can be used for real-time reports only.
-
Each process represents a program that is being executed during data collection.
-
If a new record corresponding to the Program Name (PROGRAM_NAME) field is generated during a collection interval, 0 is displayed as the first value for the following fields, because their values are computed from the information collected during the preceding collection interval:
• CPU % (PCT_PROCESSOR_TIME)
• IO Data Bytes/sec (IO_DATA_BYTES_PER_SEC)
• IO Data Operations/sec (IO_DATA_OPERATIONS_PER_SEC)
• IO Other Bytes/sec (IO_OTHER_BYTES_PER_SEC)
• IO Other Operations/sec (IO_OTHER_OPERATIONS_PER_SEC)
• IO Read Bytes/sec (IO_READ_BYTES_PER_SEC)
• IO Read Operations/sec (IO_READ_OPERATIONS_PER_SEC)
• IO Write Bytes/sec (IO_WRITE_BYTES_PER_SEC)
• IO Write Operations/sec (IO_WRITE_OPERATIONS_PER_SEC)
• Privileged CPU % (PCT_PRIVILEGED_TIME)
• User CPU % (PCT_USER_TIME)
• Page Faults/sec (PAGE_FAULTS_PER_SEC)
-
If the value in the Program Name (PROGRAM_NAME) field of this record is System or System Idle Process, the data for the Elapsed Time (ELAPSED_TIME) field may not be collected correctly. In such a case, the value for the Elapsed Time (ELAPSED_TIME) field is close to the value for the System Up Time (SYSTEM_UP_TIME) field of the System Overview (PI) record, so utilize this value.
-
An error (KAVJS5001-I) results if you attempt to display a historical report of this record.
-
Any character in the source information that is not in the ASCII character set range of 0x20 to 0x7E will be converted to a hash mark (#: 0x23) before it is stored in the Program Name (PROGRAM_NAME) field or Command Line (COMMAND_LINE) field. Note that multi-byte characters are processed in single-byte units during conversion. For example, the multi-byte (full-width) letter
is converted as follows:
Source information
Post-conversion information
Character encoding
Binary

Character string
Shift-JIS

-
The value of the Program Name (PROGRAM_NAME) field corresponds to the value shown in the Image Name column when you open the Processes tab in Windows Task Manager.
-
If the startup type of the Windows Management Instrumentation service (service name: Winmgmt) that provides system management information for the OS is set to Disabled, this record cannot be collected correctly.
