Java Performance Data Converter tool

The Java™ Performance Data Converter (JDPC) tool provides a way for you to create Java performance data about the Java programs that are running on your iSeries™ server. This performance data is compatible with the performance data output of Sun Microsystems, Inc.'s Java virtual machine java_g -prof option and IBM^® Jinsight output.

Note: The JDPC tool does not produce readable output. Use a Java profiling tool that accepts java_g -prof or Jinsight data to analyze your data.

The JDPC tool accesses the iSeries Performance Explorer (PEX) data that DB2/400 (using JDBC) stores. It converts the data to either Jinsight or general performance types. Then, JDPC stores the output file in the integrated file system at a user-specified location.

Note: You must follow appropriate iSeries PEX data collection procedures to collect PEX data while running your specified Java application on an iSeries server. You must set a PEX definition with defines the entrance and exit of a program or a collect and store procedure. For details on how collect PEX data and set a PEX definition, see Performance Tools for iSeries, SC41-5340.

For information on how to run JPDC, see Run the Java Performance Data Converter.

You can start the JPDC program by using either the Qshell command line interface or Run Java (RUNJVA) command.
