Error How are "xmwlm" files created?

Hi all,

I am trying to use the topasout command to pipe out the topas report in a file.I went through the man page for it and tried to use the command in following way.

:/usr/lpp/perfagent> topasout -a xmwlm.090418

i got the following error:

ERROR: Unable to open input file xmwlm.090418

Here I am not sure how the xmwlm file is created,i mean whether it is created at run time or it should be pre allocated in the /etc/perf/daily/ folder.
Here I used any file name (xmwlm.090418) as i was of the opinion that the file is created at run time.

Kindly help me clear my doubts.

I believe those files are created when topas is configured to gather daily stats - use 'smitty topas - configure recordings' I think to set it up.

Thanks for the response.I tried the smitty stuff,but i dont have the access to configure it.

Can you please suggest me any other option to pipe out the output of the topas in a file ? any command or a script which can help me.

If you have AIX 5.3 TL8 or newer then topas has the -R for recording to a file and then you use topasout to analyze the file. See the man page for more specifics about recording
