<h1 class="topictitle1">Performance data collection </h1>
<div><p>With any software release, the support for new functions can cause
an incremental change (increase or decrease) in performance for some workloads.</p>
<p>IBM makes a significant effort to minimize negative effects, and in most
cases a change in performance is not observed. However, in a skip-release
upgrade, there is a higher potential that the compound effect of incremental
performance differences will be observed.</p>
<p> To understand the performance characteristics of an upgrade, collect performance
data both before and after the upgrade is complete. Following are two recommended
performance collections:</p>
<ul><li>Collect general performance data for one or more days by using Collection
Services. <a href="gatherperfdata.htm#gatherperfdata">Gathering performance data for benchmark</a> contains
information on ways to start Collection Services. </li>
<li>Collect specific profile data for approximately an hour by running the
following program in a batch job during a period of high activity on the server.
To call this program, enter the command <samp class="codeph">CALL SYSPROF PARM(PEXDTAVxRy)</samp> where <em>x</em> and <em>y</em> indicate
the <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> version and release
numbers. <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> You cannot store PEX data from two different releases into
the same library. </div>
<pre>SYSPROF: PGM PARM(&amp;LIB)
DCL VAR(&amp;LIB) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10) /* Library to store the data */
/* Create a PEX definition to collect profile data. */
