<h1 class="topictitle1">Performance Tools</h1>
<div><p>The Performance Tools licensed program includes many features to
help you gather, analyze, and maintain system performance information. This
includes assistance in managing performance over a distributed network, collecting
and reporting on both summary and trace data, and capacity planning.</p>
<div class="section"><p>Performance Tools uses the performance data collected by Collection
Services (sample data) and the trace data obtained from the Start Performance
Trace (STRPFRTRC) command and the End Performance Trace (ENDPFRTRC) command.</p>
<p>The
Performance Tools for <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> licensed
program allows you to analyze performance data in a variety of ways. Performance
Tools is a collection of tools and commands for viewing, reporting, and graphing
performance data. You can use Performance Tools for <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> to
view performance data collected with Collection Services or to view trace
data collected with the Start Performance Trace (STRPFRTRC) command. You can
then summarize the data into a report to research a performance problem on
your system. You can also create graphs of the performance data to see resource
utilization over time.</p>
<p>Performance Tools for <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> contains
a base product and two features (Manager and Agent). The base plus one of
the features is required. For more information about the Manager and Agent
features of Performance Tools, see the Manager and Agent feature comparison
topic.</p>
<p>For more detailed information about how to use Performance Tools
to collect data about the performance of a system, job, or program, look in
the Performance Tools book. It also explains how to analyze and print data
to help identify and correct any problems.</p>
