The Convert Performance Collection (CVTPFRCOL) command converts performance data from a previous release to the format needed for processing by the current release of IBM Performance Tools for i.
The command first determines the release level at which the data was collected. Then the members of all necessary files are converted. The conversion may be done in the same library where the current data resides. To avoid the risk of destroying the old data if the command ends abnormally, convert the data into a different library (TOLIB), and later, delete the data from the old library (FROMLIB).
If the conversion is done in a different library, the old data remains in the current library (FROMLIB) and the new data resides in the new library (TOLIB). If a new library is specified for the newly converted data, all files are copied to the new library, including those files which do not need to be converted.

Example 1: Converting Performance Data Interactively
CVTPFRCOL FROMLIB(MIKE) TOLIB(TERESA)
This command converts the performance data in library MIKE and places it in the library TERESA after conversion is complete. This conversion occurs interactively while the user waits.
