Use this window to specify the trace trigger method, the report sets, and the types of data to be collected.

Before you can start a collect task, specify how the trace is to be triggered. You can specify that the Db2 traces are triggered by time (1), periodic exception (2), exception event (3), or started immediately (4).

You also need to select the report sets for which you want to collect data. When the trace start criteria have been met, the appropriate Db2 traces are started to collect data required for these report sets. A greater than symbol (>) in the selection field indicates report sets that were previously selected.

Use the fields on the bottom part of this panel to specify whether to restrict the collection of data to specific data types (see Restricting data types for selected report sets), IFCIDs (see Restricting IFCIDs for selected report sets), or OMEGAMON for Db2 PE identifiers (see Restricting identifiers for selected report sets). If any of these fields are selected, the appropriate windows are displayed where you can fill in the data collection criteria.

Use the OP Buffer size field to allocate the number of KB to the OPn buffer that is used for collecting the data. The valid range is from 64 to 65536.

Use the OP Buffer trigger field to specify the percentage of the filled OPn buffer when the Collect task is posted by Db2 to read the OPn buffer. The valid range is from 10 to 90.
