Stall_Log=file-spec Specifies that stall messages are to be written to the specified file. This can be useful when you notice a great number of stall messages being generated, but do not have the resources on hand to immediately investigate and resolve the problem. The file generated by the Stall_Log qualifier can be reviewed later so that the problem can be traced and resolved. The stall messages are written to the file in a format similar to the Stall Messages screen. Stall messages are written to the file at the same rate as the screen refresh rate. (The refresh rate is set with the Time qualifier or from within the Performance Monitor with the Set_rate on-screen menu option.) Specifying a large refresh rate minimizes the size of the file, but results in a large number of missed stall messages. Specifying a small refresh rate produces a large log file, but contains more of the stall messages generated. You do not need to be displaying the Stall Messages screen to record the stall messages to the log file. The stall log is maintained regardless of which screen, if any, is displayed. By default, stall messages are not logged to a file.
