STRPFRG Command syntax diagram

 

Purpose

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

 

Optional Parameters

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 graph formats and graph packages are located in the IBM-supplied performance data library, QPFRDATA.

library-name: Specify the name of the library where the graph formats and graph packages are located.

PFRLIB

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

QPFRDATA: The database files are located in the IBM-supplied performance data library, QPFRDATA.

library-name: Specify the name of the library where the database files are located.

JOB

Specifies the job name used for submitting a display job for batch processing.

Note: If *NONE is specified on the JOBD parameter, this parameter is ignored; job processing is performed interactively.

*CMD: The command name that corresponds to the selected menu option is used. Jobs from the same option have the same name.

*MBR: The name specified for the performance data member on the MBR parameter of the corresponding command is used.

job-name: Specify the name used for batch jobs.

JOBD

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

The name of the job description can be qualified by one of the following library values:

• *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 searched. If no library is specified as the current library for the job, the QGPL library is used.
• library-name: Specify the name of the library to be searched.

QPFRJOBD: The IBM-supplied Performance Tools job description is used.

job-description-name: Specify the name of an alternate job description.

Other Single Values

*NONE: A batch job is not submitted; processing continues interactively while the user waits. The user's work station cannot be used during this time, which may be significant for long jobs.

Example for STRPFRG

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.
