Optional

From collection (FROMCOL)

Specifies the performance collection to be moved.

*SELECT
Lists all collections available in the specified library that match the indicated collection type in the Collection type (COLTYPE) parameter so the user can select performance collections to move.

Note: This value is valid only when the job that moves the performance collection is submitted interactively.

name
Specify the performance collection to be moved.

From library (FROMLIB)

Specifies the library where the performance collections are located.

QPFRDATA
The IBM-supplied performance data library, QPFRDATA, is where the performance collections are located.
name
Specify the name of the library where the performance collections are located.

To collection (TOCOL)

Specifies the name of the performance collection to which the performance data is moved.

*FROMCOL
The new performance collection has the same name as the one located in the From collection (FROMCOL) parameter. If this is specified, the new performance collection and original performance collection must reside in different libraries.
name
Specify the name of the performance collection to which the performance data is moved.

To library (TOLIB)

Specifies the library in which the new performance collection is kept.

*FROMLIB
The performance collection is renamed using the value in the To collection (TOCOL) parameter and kept in the same library. This value is valid only when the values in the From collection (FROMCOL) parameter and To collection (TOCOL) parameter are different.
name
Specify the name of the library in which the new performance collection is kept.

Collection type (COLTYPE)

Specifies the type of collection to be moved.

Single values

*ALL
All types of performance collections with the same name as the one located in the From collection (FROMCOL) parameter are to be moved. This includes file-based collections and object-based collections.

Other values (up to 10 repetitions)

*CSFILE
Only the Collection Services file-based collections specified in the From collection (FROMCOL) parameter are to be moved.
*CSMGTCOL
Only the Collection Services object-based collections specified in the From collection (FROMCOL) parameter are to be moved.
*DWFILE
Only the Disk Watcher file-based collections specified in the From collection (FROMCOL) parameter are to be moved.
*JWFILE
Only the Job Watcher file-based collections specified in the From collection (FROMCOL) parameter are to be moved.
*PEXFILE
Only the Performance Explorer file-based collections specified in the From collection (FROMCOL) parameter are to be moved.
*PEXMGTCOL
Only the Performance Explorer object-based collections specified in the From collection (FROMCOL) parameter are to be moved.
*BCHFILE
Only the Batch Model file-based collections specified in the From collection (FROMCOL) parameter are to be moved.
*HSTFILE
Only the Historical file-based collections specified in the From collection (FROMCOL) parameter are to be moved.
type
Specify the type of collections to be moved.

Valid values depend on the performance collections supported by the system. You can press F4 while prompting this command parameter to see a list of valid collection type values.

Examples

Example 1: Showing List of Performance Collections

MOVPFRCOL

This command shows a display for selecting from all of the performance collections in the QPFRDATA library. From this list, the user can select performance collections to move.

Example 2: Moving Data

MOVPFRCOL   FROMCOL(COL1)  TOLIB(NEWLIB)

This command moves performance collection COL1 in library QPFRDATA to library NEWLIB. The new copy in library NEWLIB keeps the name COL1.
