Write Rec         (DCT Extra, Intra)

DESCRIPTION
"Write Rec" displays the record number of the last item written to a transient 
data (TD) queue by an application program.  


VALUES
The value of "Write Rec" is a numeric value representing the sequence number 
of a record on a TD queue. If an item has never been put on a TD queue, "Write
Rec" displays nothing.


INTERPRETATION
In general, the value of "Write Rec" should increase as application programs 
write records to a TD queue (not for a REWRITE). Watch this column over 
successive Sun MTPScan updates to determine the amount of write activity for a 
particular TD queue.


CONCLUSIONS
When "Write Rec" keeps a single value for an extended period of time, make 
sure that the application programs are supposed to refrain from placing data 
on a particular TD queue. When running programs that make heavy use of TD, 
little or no change with "Write Rec" and "Read Rec", and their associated access
time datapoints, "Write Time" and "Read Time", may indicate application 
programming flaws.
