Performance Collector APIs

The performance collector APIs allow applications to be developed that provide real-time performance monitoring capabilities. The performance collector APIs are:

• List Performance Data (QPMLPFRD) returns data from the data collector to the user space specified in theWork with Collector API.
• Work with Collector (QPMWKCOL) controls the starting and stopping of collections of information for certain types of resources. This API allows you to change the way data about a certain resource is collected.

Note: The Work with Collector API must be used before using the List Performance Data API.

The Performance Collector exit program is:

• Performance Monitor processes the performance data that is collected by the performance monitor as the monitor ends.

Note: Starting in Version 5 Release 1, the Start Performance Monitor (STRPFRMON) command is no longer supported.
