10<h1>Local data</h1>
11<p>
12As the connection to the server database is too slow, local files containing
13all necessary information are written while generating performance results on
14the server.
15</p><p>
16The performance results tool then can read these files to avoid long distance
17access to data information. Of course, it's first necessary to copy these files
18on a location easily accessible from the machine where the tool is launched.
19</p><p>
20<i>Notes
21<ul>
22<li>these files are accessible for some authorized users onto
23<b>ottcvs1.ottawa.ibm.com</b> at <b>/home/users/ecperf</b> directory</li>
24<li>SFTP is necessary to copy these files from that location</li>
25</ul>
26</i>
27</p><p>
28To read the local files, select the <b>Local data -> Read...</b> menu item and
29chose the directory where the files have been copied.
30</p><p>
31<i>Notes
32<ul>
33<li>this manual read action only has to be done once, as it will be automatically
34done at the next start of the tool</li>
35<li>no verification is currently done that the local files matches
36the connected DB (if any). Mixing them should give unpredictable results!</li>
