Determining Who Started the Performance Collection Job

The performance collection (QYPSPFRCOL) job can be started using one of the following ways:

• Starting a Management Central Monitor
• iSeries Navigator - Under the Configuration and Service container, right-click on Collection Services, and then click on Start Performance Collection
• Performance Monitor (PM/400)
• GO PERFORM, Option 2 or STRPFRCOL command using a character-based interface
• Collection services (QYPSSTRC) API  

Depending on the method used to start the QYPSPFRCOL job, there will be different jobs specified in the CPI1125 message that is logged in the joblog for the job (as shown in example below). The message indicates that the QYPSPFRCOL job was started by PM/400.

Note: To determine if the QZRCSRVS job was started as a result of a Management Central monitor versus iSeries Navigator, check the timestamp for message CPI1125 in the QYPSPFRCOL joblog. Then, check the Management Central server (QYPSJSVR) joblog for message CPIB901 indicating that a monitor was started. If the timestamps for both messages are the same, this means the QYPSPFRCOL job was started using a Management Central monitor.
