Start Performance Graphics (STRPFRG)

The Start Performance Graphics (STRPFRG) command calls up the performance graphics menu giving you access to all available performance graphics. This command is only valid in an interactive environment.

Parameters

Keyword Description Choices Notes
FMTLIB Graph formats library Name, QPFRDATA Optional, Positional 1
PFRLIB Performance data library Name, QPFRDATA Optional, Positional 2
JOB Job name Name, *CMD, *MBR Optional
JOBD Job description Single values: *NONE
Other values: Qualified object name		 Optional
Qualifier 1: Job description Name, QPFRJOBD
Qualifier 2: Library Name, *LIBL, *CURLIB

Graph formats library (FMTLIB)

Specifies the library in which the graph formats and graph packages are kept. The graph formats and graph packages are used to create performance and historical data graphs.

QPFRDATA
The IBM-supplied performance data library, QPFRDATA, is where the graph formats and graph packages are located.
library-name
Specify the name of the library where the graph formats and graph packages are located.

Performance data library (PFRLIB)

Specifies the library in which the database files are kept. The database files contain the performance and historical information used on the graphs.

QPFRDATA
The IBM-supplied performance data library, QPFRDATA, is where the database files are located.
library-name
Specify the name of the library where the database files are located.

Job name (JOB)

Specifies the job name to be used for any display graph options selected that result in the submission of jobs for batch processing.

If *NONE is specified on the Job description prompt (JOBD parameter), this parameter is ignored and job processing is performed interactively.

The possible job-name values are:

*CMD
The command name that corresponds to the menu option selected is used to name the job. All jobs created by the same option will have the same name.
*MBR
The name of the performance data member specified on the Member prompt (MBR parameter) of the corresponding command is used.
job-name
Specify the name to be used for display graph batch jobs.

Job description (JOBD)

Specifies the job description used to submit jobs for batch processing.

*LIBL
All libraries in the job's library list are searched until the first match is found.
*CURLIB
The current library for the job is used to locate the job description. If no library is specified as the current library for the job, QGPL is used.
library-name
Specify the name of the library where the job description is located.
QPFRJOBD
The IBM-supplied performance tools job description is used.
job-description-name
Specify the name of an alternate job description.
*NONE
A batch job is not submitted; instead, processing continues interactively while the user waits. The user's work station cannot be used during this time. This is something to consider for especially long jobs.

Examples 

STRPFRG

This command displays the menu interface for Performance Tools graphics. Library QPFRDATA is used for storing and retrieving graph formats, graph packages, and performance data for this session. Any requests that are submitted to run in batch use job description QPFRJOBD found in the library list.
