Extended counter set

The extended counters provide information about hardware facilities and structures that are specific to a machine family. The extended counters are designed to expand upon information provided by the basic counter set. For more information about the extended counter set, see The Set-Program-Parameter and CPU-Measurement Facilities, SA23-2260.

Use the Customize/Delete Activation Profiles task to authorize the use of the extended counter set for an LP. The Extended counter set authorization control selection is located on the Security page for the LP.
