The panel provides a matrix for selecting report sets (Accounting, Statistics, and so on) and the functions (Reduce, Report, and so on) to be applied to the selected report sets. Multiple functions can be applied to selected report sets, but some functions are inapplicable to some report sets, as shown by the matrix.

  • Use forward slashes (/) to select combinations of report sets and functions (for example, an Accounting report).
  • Greater than symbols (>) indicate previously made selections (for example, a Statistics report).
  • To correct a selection, overtype the symbol with a blank.

The selections of Additional Functions are treated in the same manner.

The command line accepts the following commands to facilitate and complete the report selections:

  • The INCLUDE and EXCLUDE commands filter data on a report set level or at a global level.
  • The GROUP command defines a named group of OMEGAMON for Db2 Performance Expert identifiers. The group name can be used when you request reports.
  • The LIST command defines named group of OMEGAMON for Db2 Performance Expert identifiers. The list name can be used in INCLUDE and EXCLUDE commands instead of individually entering each list member.
  • The BROWSE command can be used to review the batch report command stream that was generated based on your current selections.
  • The SAVE and RECALL commands save current selections or recall previously saved selections.
  • The OPTIONS command sets or changes the default options of your current IRF session, such as foreground or background processing and the ddnames to be used.
  • The RESET command clears all input fields.

When your specifications for the reports are complete, press F5 (Compose).
