STRPFRT Command syntax diagram

 

Purpose

The Start Performance Tools (STRPFRT) command calls the Performance Tools menu interface. This shows the Performance Tools main menu (PERFORM), which provides access to all of the performance tools.

 

Optional Parameters

LIB
Specifies the library where the performance data is located.

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

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

JOB
Specifies the job name used for submitting report and utility jobs 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 started 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. If the command does not have a MBR parameter and *MBR is specified for this parameter, the command name is used.

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

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

The possible library values are:

  • *LIBL: All libraries in the job's library list are searched until the first match is found.

  • *CURLIB: The current library is used to locate the job description. 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 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; processing continues interactively while the user waits. The user's work station is not available for other use during this time, which could be significant for long jobs.
