DESCRIPTION

er_export converts the information in an experiment record to ASCII text. The information in the experiment record contains performance data on a target application. The performance data is gathered by using the Collector in Debugger. The data generated by er_export can be used by other applications. The file generated by er_export contains a summary of the experiment’s overview, profile, and working set data. The overview summary contains information about the process states of the application. The summary is for the entire experiment; it does not contain information on the individual samples in the experiment. The profile summary includes time in seconds that occurred in each of the process states, and the total number of faults and system calls for the entire experiment and the samples contained in the experiment. The working set data summary provides the number of pages that are modified, referenced, and not referenced. The Working Set summary provides statistics on the average, minimum, and maximum size of working set and address space for the entire experiment.

The default is to report a summary of all categories of data. For data on individual samples you need to use the -l option with the selected categories.
