SAMPLE command

This command either places SirTune sampling back into automatic mode (SAMPLE AUTO), where sampling is controlled by INCLUDE/EXCLUDE statements in SIRTUNEI, or it initiates (SAMPLE ON) or terminates (SAMPLE OFF) collection of sample data. This command has no effect on the collection of compilation data: Compilation data is collected regardless of the sampling state.

For example, to immediately start collecting data, the following command should be issued:

    SAMPLE ON

To immediately stop collecting data, issue:

    SAMPLE OFF

After a SAMPLE ON or SAMPLE OFF command is issued, SirTune is in “manual” sampling mode.

This command is not available if the RESTART utility is responding to operator commands.
