Print the performance reports

You can print reports using the performance data that you collected. Prior to V5R1, Option 3 (Print performance report) displayed a list of performance members that were located in the QAPMCONF file.

This list included both sample data and trace data that was collected by the Start Performance Monitor (STRPFRMON) command. Collection Services does not collect trace data. However, you can use the STRPFRTRC and TRCINT commands to collect trace data. This data is located in the QAPMDMPT file. Therefore, in V5R1 and later, you see two views of the Print Performance Report display, one for sample data and one for trace data.

Note: If your trace data and sample data are both in the current library, you can use F20 to toggle between the two Print Performance Report displays.

After you have collected your data, you must create a set of performance data files from the performance information stored in a management collection (*MGTCOL) object. Use the Create Performance Data (CRTPFRDTA) command. After you have created the data files, you can request to print your reports.

Use the following commands to print reports for sample data that you collected with Collection Services:

Print System Report (PRTSYSRPT)
Print Component Report (PRTCPTRPT)
Print Job Interval Report (PRTJOBRPT)
Print Pool Report (PRTPOLRPT)
Print Resource Report (PRTRSCRPT)

Use the following commands to print reports for trace data that you collected with the Start Performance Trace (STRPFRTRC) and Trace Internal (TRCINT) commands:

Print Transaction Report (PRTTNSRPT)
Print Lock Report (PRTLCKRPT)
Print Job Trace Report (PRTTRCRPT)

Note: You must use the End Performance Trace (ENDPFRTRC) command to stop the collection of performance trace data and then optionally write performance trace data to a database file before you can print the Transaction reports.
