The monitor stores results in an ordinary text file. This file defaults to:
dbname.connection#-main-iqmon for main buffer cache results
dbname.connection#-temp-iqmon for temp buffer cache results
The prefix dbname.connection# represents your database name and connection number. If you see more than one connection number and are uncertain which is yours, you can run the Catalog stored procedure sa_conn_info. This procedure displays the connection number, user ID, and other information for each active connection to the database.
You can use the -file_suffix parameter on the IQ UTILITIES command to change the suffix iqmon to a suffix of your choice.
To see the results of a monitor run, use a text editor or any other method you would normally use to display or print a file.
When you run the monitor again from the same database and connection number, by default it overwrites the previous results. If you need to save the results of a monitor run, copy the file to another location before starting the monitor again from the same database or use the -append option.
