From the Psets Window

The easiest way to view the contents of psets is to use the Psets window.

By default, the window displays the current pset (which starts out being the predefined pset all), and the psets break, running, and error. When you create a new pset via the define pset command, that set is also displayed automatically.

The processes within a pset are numbered starting at the upper left, increasing from left to right and then jumping to the next row. You can display information about them as follows:

• Shift-click on a cell to view the Prism ID number of the process it represents.

• Shift-click elsewhere in the pset rectangle (for example, on a border) to display all the ID numbers of the processes in the pset.

• Shift-middle-click on a cell to view the process's Solaris pid and the hostname of the node on which it is running.

• Shift-middle click elsewhere in the rectangle to display the entire list of pids and hostnames for the processes in the pset.

To display a pset, choose the Show selection from the Options menu in the Psets window This displays a list of psets; the predefined psets are at the top, followed by any user-defined set names. Click on a set name, and that set is displayed in the window.

To hide a pset, choose the Hide selection from the Options menu. Once again, this displays the list of predefined and user-defined psets. Click on a set name to remove that set from the display.

Note that hiding a pset doesn't otherwise affect its status; it still exists and can be used in commands.

Note also that there are choices All Sets and all in the Show and Hide submenus. The All Sets choice refers to all psets; the all choice refers to the predefined pset all.

If you have too many psets to be shown in the display window of the Psets window, the navigator rectangle to the right of the Cycle arrows lets you pan through the psets. The white box in the rectangle shows the position of the display area relative to all the psets that are to be displayed:

You can either drag the box or click at a spot in the rectangle. The box moves to that spot, and the display window shows the psets in this area of the total display.

To display more psets at the same time, click on the Zoom up arrow to the right of the navigator rectangle. This reduces the size of the boxes representing the psets. Clicking on the Zoom down arrow increases the size of these boxes. By default, the boxes are at their highest zoom setting.
