At session end, the AVM writes these statistics to the default output file client.mon. For detailed information on the output written to the client.mon file, see OpenEdge Deployment: Managing ABL Applications.
At startup, the -y parameter sends a report of all the startup parameters to the output file. This report includes all default values, overridden values, and values you set at startup. Unlike the other statistics that the -y parameter collects, this report is not written at session end and is not affected by the SHOW-STATS statement.
Note: The specific statistics displayed might change periodically as new OpenEdge features are implemented.
The edit buffer map statistics are written each time a user exits from OpenEdge or uses the SHOW-STATS statement. These lines list the procedures currently in the edit (or execution) buffer and their r-code sizes.
Note: If you cannot execute SHOW-STATS from the Procedure Editor or cannot add the statement to your ABL code (for example, if while using Run-time OpenEdge), you can specify Statisticswith CTRL+C (-yc) instead of the -y parameter. Both parameters behave the same way, except -yc lets you use CTRL+C as a substitute for the SHOW-STATS statement.
The program-access statistics are written to the output file when the session ends or when you use the SHOW-STATS statement. In the output, temp file reads and writes are reads and writes to the SRT file, which stores each user's session compiles and active r-code files. The Bytes column is a cumulative total. The Stat file checks are recorded because they represent a relatively time-consuming system call. Unless you invoke Quick Request(-q), the AVM makes a stat call each time a precompiled subprocedure is called with the RUN statement.
The AVM places the default output file (client.mon) in the current working directory; however, you can specify a different output file by using the CLIENTMON environment variable. Simply set CLIENTMON to point to the file you want to use. For example, in a UNIX environment, if you wanted to use a file named stats in the /usr/tmp directory, enter the following command at the system prompt:
