You can use the Tivoli Performance Viewer (TPV) to view Performance Monitoring Infrastructure (PMI) data in chart or table form.
TPV displays graphics in either the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format or as a static image in the JPG format. If you do not have the Adobe SVG browser plug-in installed, you are prompted to download and install it. If you select not to install the plug-in (by selecting Cancel), TPV displays the static image. Installing the Adobe SVG plug-in is advantageous for several reasons. First, the SVG format provides interactive graphics that provide additional information when you hover your mouse over a point, line, or legend item. The SVG format also enables you to click a point and see details for it. Secondly, using the SVG format provides a performance benefit because the work to display the SVG image is done on the client side. When viewing a static image, the application server must convert the SVG image into a static image, which is a processor and memory intensive operation. If your browser is Internet Explorer 7, the Adobe SVG installation prompt might be inaccessible. To resolve the problem, reinstall Adobe SVG.
If you experience problems with SVG, see Scalable Vector Graphics problems for more information.
Performance modules are shown in the TPV current activity settings in the administrative console.
