Recording Statistics for Specific Record Types

The STATISTICS ON/OFF command enables and disables recording of specific statistics record types. When you initialize the DTF, Sterling Connect:Direct® enables the recording of all record types unless you specify the STAT.EXCLUDE initialization parameter. You can use the INQUIRE STATISTICS command to find out which types are currently disabled.

Use the STATISTICS ON/OFF command prudently when excluding Statistics records logging because some types of records are critical for problem diagnosis. Do not exclude the following record types:

CT – Copy Termination
PS – Process Submit
PT – Process Termination
RJ – Run Job
RT – Run Task
SW – Submit within Process
WO – WTO

Other record types are less critical and you can exclude them.

CAUTION:

Excluding record types can make problem analysis and resolution more difficult.

The STATISTICS ON/OFF command has the following format and associated parameters.

Label	Command	Parameters
