The Print Pool Report (PRTPOLRPT) command produces a pool-oriented report from the performance data collected by Collection Services from the Operations Navigator interface. The report is written to the printer file QPPTITVP. The two sections that comprise the report are subsystem activity and workload activity of storage pools. The information is presented according to interval order. Jobs may be selectively included in the report or excluded from the report, based on a variety of job details and interval times.

Top

Member (MBR)

Specifies the performance data member used. This name should correspond to the member name specified on the TOMBR parameter of the Create Performance Data (CRTPFRDTA) command.

This is a required parameter.

Report title (TITLE)

Specifies the title for the report that is created.

*MBRTXT

The text of the database member, which contains the performance data, is the report title.

*BLANK

No title is specified.

'report-title'

Specify a title of up to 50 characters, enclosed in apostrophes.

Time period for report (PERIOD)

Specifies the period of time on which to report. The parameter consists of four elements: a starting time and date, and an ending time and date. Data collected prior to the starting time on the starting date and after the ending time on the ending date is not included in the report.

The symbol *N can be used to designate the default value for any of the four elements.

The possible starting time values are:

*FIRST

Data records starting from the beginning of the first day (00:00:00) of the collection period are included.

*SELECT

An interval selection screen is displayed from which you can select one or more intervals for inclusion. This value is valid only in the interactive environment. If this value is used, the remaining values of this parameter (starting time and date and ending time and date) are ignored.

start-time

Specify the time of the first data record to include in the report, using the format, hhmm or hhmmss, where hh is the hours, mm is the minutes, and ss is the seconds.

The time is specified in 24-hour format with or without a time separator:

• Without a time separator, specify a string of 4 or 6 digits (hhmm or hhmmss) where hh = hours, mm = minutes, and ss = seconds.
• With a time separator, specify a string of 5 or 8 digits where the time separator specified for your job is used to separate the hours, minutes, and seconds. If you enter this command from the command line, the string must be enclosed in apostrophes. If a time separator other than the separator specified for your job is used, this command will fail.

All time and date entries must be 2-digits in length, meaning zeros must be included.

The possible starting date values are:

*FIRST

Data records starting from the first day of the collection period are included in the report.

start-date

Specify the date of the first data record to include in the report. The date must be entered in the format specified by the system value QDATFMT, and if separators are used, as specified by the system value QDATSEP.

The possible ending time values are:

*LAST

Data records through the end of the day (23:59:59) are included in the report.

end-time

Specify the time of the last data record to include in the report. Use the same format used for the starting time.

The possible ending date values are:

*LAST

Data records through the last day of the collection period are included in the report.

end-date

Specify the date of the last record to include in the report. The date must be entered in the format specified by the system value QDATFMT, and if separators are used, as specified by the system value QDATSEP.

Library (LIB)

Specifies the library where the performance data is located.

QPFRDATA

The performance data files are located in the IBM-supplied performance data library, QPFRDATA.

library-name

Specify the name of the library where the performance database files are located.

Select jobs (SLTJOB)

Specifies a list of up to 50 jobs to be included in the report. Only specified jobs are included in the report.

Individual jobs are identified by a "job identifier." A job identifier is either the special value *ALL or a qualified name that consists of up to three elements: a job number, a user name, and a job name. Job identifiers are written in the form, job-number/user-name/job-name, but all three elements do not have to be specified. The symbol *N can be used as a placeholder for up to two of the elements of the job identifier.

Note: This parameter and the Omit jobs prompt (OMTJOB parameter) are mutually exclusive.

You can enter multiple values for this parameter.

Element 1: Job name

*ALL

All jobs in the collected data are included, unless excluded by another selection value.

job-name

Specify the names of the jobs to select. Because jobs may have identical job names, this value may not identify a specific job. A generic name can be specified for this value.

Note: A generic name is a character string that contains one or more characters followed by an asterisk(*), for example, ABC*. The asterisk substitutes for any valid characters. A generic name specifies all objects with names that begin with the generic prefix for which the user has authority. If an asterisk is not included with the generic name, the system assumes it to be the complete object name.

job-number

Specify the 6-digit number of a job to select. All six digits must be specified, including zeros.

user-name

Specify the user names of the jobs to select. Because jobs may have identical user names, this value may not identify a specific job.

Element 2: Thread

*ALL

All threads are included, unless excluded by some other selection criterion.

thread-identifier

Specify the thread identifier to select. Because some jobs can have identical thread identifiers, this value may not identify a specific job.

Omit jobs (OMTJOB)

Specifies a list of up to 50 jobs to be omitted from the report.

Individual jobs are identified by a "job identifier." A job identifier is either the special value *NONE or a qualified name that consists of up to three elements: a job number, a user name, and a job name. Job identifiers are written in the form, job-number/user-name/job-name, but all three elements do not have to be specified. The symbol *N can be used as a placeholder for up to two of the elements of the job identifier.

Note: This parameter and the Select jobs prompt (SLTJOB parameter) are mutually exclusive.

You can enter multiple values for this parameter.

Element 1: Job name

*NONE

Jobs are not excluded based on job identifier.

job-name

Specify the names of the jobs to omit. Because jobs may have identical job names, this value may not identify a specific job. A generic name can be specified for this value.

Note: A generic name is a character string that contains one or more characters followed by an asterisk(*), for example, ABC*. The asterisk substitutes for any valid characters. A generic name specifies all objects with names that begin with the generic prefix for which the user has authority. If an asterisk is not included with the generic name, the system assumes it to be the complete object name.

job-number

Specify the 6-digit number of a job to omit. All six digits must be specified, including zeros.

user-name

Specify the user names of the jobs to omit. Because jobs may have identical user names, this value may not identify a specific job.

Element 2: Thread

*ALL

All threads are included, unless excluded by some other selection criterion.

thread-identifier

Specify the thread identifier to select. Because some jobs can have identical thread identifiers, this value may not identify a specific job.

Select users (SLTUSRID)

Specifies a list of up to 50 user names to be included in the report. Only jobs with one of the specified user names are included in the report.

Note: This parameter and the Omit users prompt (OMTUSRID parameter) are mutually exclusive.

You can enter multiple values for this parameter.

*ALL

All jobs with user names are included, unless excluded by another selection value.

user-name

Specify the user names of the jobs to select. Because jobs may have identical user names, this value may not identify a specific job. A generic name may be specified for this value. SLTUSRID(user) is equivalent to SLTJOB(*N/user/*N).

Note: A generic name is a character string that contains one or more characters followed by an asterisk(*), for example, ABC*. The asterisk substitutes for any valid characters. A generic name specifies all objects with names that begin with the generic prefix for which the user has authority. If an asterisk is not included with the generic name, the system assumes it to be the complete object name.

Omit users (OMTUSRID)

Specifies a list of up to 50 user names to be omitted from the report.

Note: This parameter and the Select users prompt (SLTUSRID parameter) are mutually exclusive.

You can enter multiple values for this parameter.

*NONE

No jobs are excluded based on the user name.

user-name

Specify the user names of the jobs to omit. Because jobs may have identical user names, this value may not identify a specific job. A generic name may be specified for this value. OMTUSRID(user) is equivalent to OMTJOB(*N/user/*N).

Note: A generic name is a character string that contains one or more characters followed by an asterisk(*), for example, ABC*. The asterisk substitutes for any valid characters. A generic name specifies all objects with names that begin with the generic prefix for which the user has authority. If an asterisk is not included with the generic name, the system assumes it to be the complete object name.

Examples

Example 1: Printing a Report

PRTPOLRPT   MBR(DTA071588A)

This command submits a batch job to print a report on all jobs in all intervals in the member DTA071588A of the performance data files in library QPFRDATA. The report title is taken from the text of that member.

Example 2: Selecting Intervals to Include in Report

PRTPOLRPT   MBR(DTA071588A)  PERIOD(*SELECT)

This command submits a job to print a report from the same data, but first shows a display from which the user interactively selects the intervals to include.

Example 3: Specifying Data Collection Time Period

PRTPOLRPT   MBR(DTA071588A)  PERIOD((2330)(0130))

This command submits a job to print a report on the data collected from 11:30 PM on the first day of collection through 1:30 AM on the last day of collection. However, if data collection started and ended on the same day, an error message is printed, because the specified ending date and time is before the specified starting date and time.

Example 4: Specifying a User ID

PRTPOLRPT   MBR(DTA071588A)  SLTUSRID(D46*)  JOBD(*NONE)

This command interactively prints a report for all jobs with a user ID starting with D46.

Example 5: Specifying a User ID

PRTPOLRPT   MBR(DTA071588A)  SLTJOB(D46*/*N)  JOBD(*NONE)

This command performs the same function as the previous example.
