<h1 class="topictitle1">Create database files from Collection Services data</h1>
|

|
|
<div><p>Collection Services places the data you collected into management
|
||
|
|
collection objects.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>To use this data, you must first place the data in a special set
|
||
|
|
of database files. To create database files automatically as data is collected,
|
||
|
|
simply select <span class="uicontrol">Create database files</span> on the <span class="uicontrol">Start
|
||
|
|
Collection Services</span> dialog. You can also create the database files
|
||
|
|
later when you want to export data to them from an existing management collection
|
||
|
|
object.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You have many options that allow you to create database files.</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>When you use Collection Services to collect performance data, you can
|
||
|
|
create database files automatically as data is collected.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>You can create database files from the management collection object, where
|
||
|
|
the data is stored after it has been collected. You can use the <span class="cmdname">Create
|
||
|
|
Performance Data (CRTPFRDTA)</span> command to create a set of performance
|
||
|
|
database files from performance information stored in a management collection
|
||
|
|
(*MGTCOL) object. You can use either the <span class="keyword">iSeries™ Navigator</span> interface
|
||
|
|
or the CRTPFRDTA command.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>You can activate PM <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span>,
|
||
|
|
which automates the start of Collection Services and then creates the database
|
||
|
|
files during collection.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can use the database files that you have created with the Performance
|
||
|
|
Tools for <span class="keyword">iSeries Navigator</span> licensed
|
||
|
|
program or other applications to produce performance reports. You can collect
|
||
|
|
the performance data on one system and then move the management collection
|
||
|
|
object (*MGTCOL) to another system to generate the performance data files
|
||
|
|
and run the Performance Tools reports. This action allows you to analyze the
|
||
|
|
performance data on another system without affecting the performance of the
|
||
|
|
source system.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>Storing data in management collection objects instead
|
||
|
|
of in database files</strong></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Why should you store the data in management
|
||
|
|
collection objects instead of in the database files that you need to run your
|
||
|
|
reports? Because you can manage the management collection objects separately
|
||
|
|
from the database files, you can collect your performance data in small collection
|
||
|
|
intervals (such as 5-minute intervals) and then create your database files
|
||
|
|
with a longer sampling interval (such as 15-minute intervals).</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>From
|
||
|
|
a single management collection object, you can create many different sets
|
||
|
|
of database files for different purposes by specifying different data categories,
|
||
|
|
different ranges of time, and different sampling intervals.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>For example,
|
||
|
|
you might collect performance data on the entire set of categories (all data,
|
||
|
|
or the <span class="uicontrol">Standard plus protocol</span> profile) in 5-minute
|
||
|
|
collection intervals for 24 hours. From that one management collection object,
|
||
|
|
you can create different sets of database files for different purposes. You
|
||
|
|
could create one set of database files to run your normal daily performance
|
||
|
|
reports. These files might contain data from all categories with a sampling
|
||
|
|
interval of 15 minutes. Then, to analyze a particular performance problem,
|
||
|
|
you could create another set of database files. These files might contain
|
||
|
|
only data for a single category that you need to analyze, a specific time
|
||
|
|
period within the 24 hours, and a more granular sampling interval of 5 minutes.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>In
|
||
|
|
addition, the single management collection object allows you to manage the
|
||
|
|
data as a single object rather than as many files. The single collection object
|
||
|
|
allows you to move the performance data between releases without converting
|
||
|
|
the data. As long as you retain the collection objects, you can look back
|
||
|
|
and analyze the performance-related events down to the level of detail that
|
||
|
|
you collected.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>Export the collected data</strong></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>To export performance
|
||
|
|
data from a management collection object to database files, follow these steps:</p>
