Resource Allocation by Sessions Report
This report provides resource allocation data for sessions which are in a Running state. This
report displays CPU and memory allocations grouped by Active System Manager sessions, and
can be used to view the CPU and memory allocation in a data center environment at that
particular instant.
Figure 2425 displays an example of a Resource Allocation by Sessions report.
