Run the Java Performance Data Converter

To run the Java™ Performance Data Converter (JPDC) for performance data collection, follow these steps.

  1. Enter the first input argument, which is either general for the java_g -prof or jinsight for Jinsight output.
  2. Enter the second input argument, which is the name of the Performance Explorer (PEX) definition that was used to collect the data.
    Note: You should restrict this name to four or five characters, because of the internal use of connections of this name.
  3. Enter the third input argument, which is the name of the file that the JPDC tool generates.

    This generated file writes to your current integrated file system directory. Use the cd (PF4) command to specify an integrated file system current directory.

  4. Enter the fourth input argument, which is the name of the iSeries™ host relational database directory entry.

    Use the Work with Relational Database Directory Entry (WRKRDBDIRE) command to see what the name is. It is the only relational database where the *LOCAL is indicated.

To operate this code the /QIBM/ProdData/Java400/ext/JPDC.jar file must be in the Java classpath on the iSeries server. When the program is done running, a text output file can be found in the current directory.

You can run JPDC by using the iSeries command line or Qshell environment. See Example: Run the Java Performance Data Converter for details.
