Because as someone pointed out before (Barton, I think), for performance monitoring, you want more event data and for capacity planning you need appropriate sample data. I think PerfTK could deal with more data than it
needs for online real-time performance monitoring, while another process selectively collects from the same source a subset of that data for capac ity planning using that other z/OS product. /Tom Kern On Tue, 18 Mar 2008 11:01:07 -0400, Jim Bohnsack <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wro te: >Unless the objective is to have a program that will collect some of the >records for one reporting function and another instance of the program >collecting a different selection of the monitor records for a different >reporting function, why not just limit the amount of records written to >the monitor segment in the first place? > >Jim
