Using ARM Macros in Unix - comp.soft-sys.sas

Does anyone have any experience in using the Application Response Measurement (ARM) macros?? In particular under HP Unix but I am interested in any experiences that anyone may have I am considering using this facility to track the usage of datasets and more importantly which indexes are being used, and also the timings of some important core programmes.. I know the ARM facility can mesaure this, but my queries relate to where I can record this information. The documentation and examples show the log being written to a flat file, but I have hundreds of users and approx 2000 SAS invocations per day I need to measure - and I am concerned with all of these attempting to concurrently write to the same file. I really do not want to create a seperate file for each sas invocation. As we have HP's measureware in use and analyse it with SAS ITRM, can we send the ARM transactions to measureware and let SAS ITRM analyse it ?? Cheers Robin Templer

From a birdie: I've not used these at all, and I thought that there was also some sort of arm daemon that could be written to. If not, there ought to be. So, here's some thoughts: Why write to the same file at recording time? Why not write to several (one per app) arm logs or such, and put them together afterwards? Sure that could be a lot of files, but computers are good about managing lots of files. And yes, I agree the files could get large. Still, this is probably the simplest answer. I believe that the arm macros can actually write to a fileref. In that case, one could tinker with msmq or mqseries, or just their own simple tcp/ip listener task to handle this. Think trickery via various FILENAME engines.

Thanx to Alan & 'The Birdie' Looks like I will experiment with a small core of programmes/apps and see what comes out.
