ADVISE COLLECT START

This command starts the Performance Agent.

Format

ADVISE COLLECT START [collection-definition-name]

Description

The ADVISE COLLECT START command starts a data collection process using the collection definition specified on the node from which you issue the command. If the collection definition is omitted, the primary Performance Agent is started.

If you are starting a Performance Agent based on an alternate collection definition, the Performance Agent based on the CPD collection definition must already be running.

At installation, a command procedure called UPM$AGENT$STARTUP.COM is created and placed in SYS$STARTUP. This command file contains the ADVISE COLLECT START command, which when invoked from SYS$MANAGER:SYS$STARTUP_V5.COM automatically starts the data collection process.

Parameters

collection-definition-name

Specifies the name of a collection definition on which the Performance Agent process is to be started. If you do not specify a name, the CPD collection definition is started by default.
