Command Statistics

When you are running a transaction statistics report, you collect statistics only on commands that are retained in the statistics logs. What finally determines whether or not you can get meaningful transaction statistics is if the transaction in the history log is extracted to the statistics log when the Create Statistics Logs (Statlog) report is run.

The following table lists some of the commands that provide statistics.
