Viewing summary of all selected history threads

You can view a list of threads that meets your selection criteria.

Before you begin

Before you can view a summary of all selected history threads, ensure that the thread history collector is running and you have identified one or more selection criteria that you want to use to identify current or recent threads that may have performance problems.

For information on how to specify the criteria, see Using thread history.

After you have specified the criteria, the thread summary is displayed. The summary displays columns of information that identify the workstation, transaction, user, usage, and other characteristics you can use to determine which threads need attention in order to improve system performance. If no specific timespan or filtering criteria was selected, the last 50 executions are displayed by default.

Tip: If you use the REST API to retrieve data from the HISTTHRD table, you can customize the number of rows of thread history summary data that are returned by setting the ZHISTDROW parameter, as shown in the following example:
SYSTEM.PARMA("ZHISTDROWS","nnnn",4)
where nnnn is the maximum number of rows returned. Specify a value in the range 1-1500. If the ZHISTDROW parameter is not specified, the default value for nnnn is set to 300.
