Analyzing performance data

To analyze the IBM® i Collection Services data, you must view the performance database files created from the Management Collection object files. This can be done by setting the configuration on the Collection Services (via IBM Navigator for i Configure Collection Services or CFGPFRCOL CL command).

For more information, refer to Creating database files from Collection Services data and also the step regarding converting the performance data in Checklist: Completing the IBM i upgrade or replacement.

There are several tools you can use to analyze the data from Collection Services.

For additional information on determining how upgrades might affect your performance workloads, see Managing System Performance.
