RE: RTVTCPINF times

Before POWER9, we never needed performance data during a backup. We need it now, so I'm cautiously planning on how to get it.

If you didn’t end your performance collection, you would have performance data about your backup :) Exclude the *MGTC objects, but keep the performance collection active.

When doing saves when not in restricted state, Collection Services gathers Save/Restore metrics in the QAPMJOBSR file, tape metrics (if saving to tape) in the QAPMTAPE file, along with all the other performance data CS collects.

FYI, I’ve submitted an RFE to have Collection Services run in restricted state:
