Preface
This Document
This X/Open Guide reviews the problem space
of performance measurement in open systems,
and introduces the architecture, features and benefits provided
by the three X/Open Universal Measurement Architecture (UMA)
specifications:
-
UMA Measurement Layer Interface (MLI) specification
-
UMA Data Capture Interface (DCI) specification
-
UMA Data Pool Definitions (DPD) specification
and serves as an introduction to these specifications.
These UMA specifications are published in Parts 2, 3 and 4
respectively of this document.
This UMA Guide is also available separately, as X/Open document number
G507, ISBN 1-85912-122-5.
Audience
This Guide is intended for those who wish to gain an introduction to
the issues involved in performance measurement.
It is also intended as an introduction to the X/Open UMA and the
associated MLI, DCI and DPD specifications as listed above.
