ipm Command—Start the Interactive Performance Monitor

The ipm command invokes the forms-based Interactive Performance Monitor, which combines the functions of the lockstat, logstat, iimonitor, and iinamu utilities in a single tool.

The Interactive Performance Monitor is used to view various aspects of a running installation. It can be used to view a running server, examine the logging and locking system, and perform actions on active servers.

For complete details on the use of the IPM command, see the Interactive Performance Monitor User Guide.
