Accessing DMS Data

For a deﬁnition of any metric, select the metric name by clicking on it

using the right mouse button; a pop-up help window appears containing

the deﬁnition of the metric.

DCE Process List Window

The DCE Process List Window displays a list of all processes running on

your system that are DCE servers. For each process displayed, several

metrics are availableby default. You can customize the metrics displayed

using the "Choose Metrics" command under the "Conﬁgure" pull-down

menu. Each process shown can be selected or ﬁltered.

For a selected process, you can obtain more detailed information. You

generate this information by selecting the "Reports" pull down in this

window and selecting "Process DCE Interface" or "Process Activity". You

can also select "Process Activity" by double-clicking on a process.

DCE Process Activity Window

The DCE Process Activity Window displays very detailed process

information for a selected DCE process. All metrics available for the

selected DCE process are displayed in a single window.

DCE Interface Window

NOTE Interface and operation names are not available in HP GlancePlus until

after the ﬁrst call to an interface. After the ﬁrst call to an interface, the

interface name and all of its operation names become available, but

GlancePlus won't pick up the interface and operation names unless you

close the window and then re-open it. Interfaces, such as rpc_mgmt

(which is exported by every DCE server and client), whose UUIDs and

version numbers match interfaces that have previously been registered

and named are available even before being called within a given process.

The DCE Interface Window displays a list of the interfaces associated

with a DCE process. For each process displayed, several metrics are

available by default. You can customize the metrics displayed using the

"Choose Metrics" command under the "Conﬁgure" pull-down menu.

For a selected interface, you can generate a report on the DCE operations
