For function level 440 please see Performance Toolkit for VM FL440 TOD ABEND update

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.

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
