Performance Toolkit for VM FL440
The Performance Toolkit for VM was initially shipped with z/VM 4.4.0 to provide enhanced capabilities for a z/VM systems programmer, system operator, or performance analyst to monitor and report performance data. Offered as a priced optional feature of z/VM, the Performance Toolkit for VM is derived from the FCON/ESA program (5788-LGA), which was not available in all countries. Use the Performance Toolkit to reduce data from the z/VM MONITOR and produce reports and history files.

Considerations for RTM and PRF

RealTime Monitor (RTM) and Performance Reporting Facility (PRF) optional features support was withdrawn at the same time as z/VM 4.4.0. The following is a mapping of RTM and VMPRF reports to Performance Toolkit for VM reports:

 RTM function cross reference
 VMPRF report cross reference

The Performance Toolkit for VM feature is considered to be a program update for the RTM and PRF features as defined in the z/VM Addendum for Support, Z125-6547. Therefore, any existing z/VM V4 customers who have purchased a Subscription & Support (S&S) license for the RTM or PRF feature are entitled to receive a no-charge upgrade to the Performance Toolkit for VM feature when ordering z/VM V5: Refer to the announcement letters for details:
z/VM V5.1
z/VM V5.2
z/VM V5.3

All statements regarding IBM's plans, directions, and intent are subject to change or withdrawal without notice. Any reliance on this Statement of Direction is at the relying party's sole risk and will not create any liability or obligation for IBM.
