Using short names
If the friendly names you created in HP P6000 Command View are impractical for the HP P6000
Performance Data Collector command line interface, you can substitute contractions for full names
in the
fnames.dict
file.
When you install HP P6000 Performance Data Collector, the
fnames_sample.dict
file is also
installed. You can either:
•
Rename this file to
fnames.dict
and modify its contents to include the short names.
•
Create a separate file called
fnames.dict
using a standard editor.
Within the
fnames.dict
file, enter a short name for each long friendly name as follows:
<long name> <short name>
For example:
# Sample contractions dictionary:
“Test1\\Copy of Test1” Test1-c
chienchi cc
Test1\Test1 VV
“Test1\Test1” VV
Consider the following when creating names:
•
If either the long or short name contains spaces, enclose the name in quotes.
•
If a back slash appears within a string enclosed in quotes, you must add another back slash.
•
Enter one long and short name combination per line.
To use the short name you have entered in this file, add the
–cn
modifier to any command you
enter in the HP P6000 Performance Data Collector command line interface. The short name is
substituted when a long name is encountered.
