When performing a manual information retrieval, click Get to obtain the performance information. Click Stop when you want to stop the system query and to write the information to a text (.txt) file.
When performing automatic information retrieval, keep the Get Performance window open until it completes the number of queries you defined. Click Stop to terminate the process at any time..
When you click Stop, or if the automatic queries you set have completed, a result window is displayed. The output file may be saved for review. Queries that were concatenated into one file are combined into one text file which is compressed into a ZIP file, which is usually named pfm.zip.
