Create Performance Summary (CRTPFRSUM)

The Create Performance Summary (CRTPFRSUM) command creates additional performance database files containing summary information for an existing collection services performance database file collection.

The existing collection (as created by the CRTPFRDTA command) is processed and the summarized data is placed in these special files. This data facilitates quicker processing of the performance database data by tools such as the Performance Viewer. For more information about the database files, see the Performance topic in the IBM i Information Center at http://www.ibm.com/systems/i/infocenter/.

Performance database files and file members (each collection is a file member) will be created as needed based on the specified collection. If database files already exist and the requested member exists in any of them, the member will be cleared before this additional data is generated.
