NOTE: As of 8/16/2013 a new form of the Gather for Windows has been created.
An attachment to this article contains the gather.txt file
The file should be downloaded and renamed gather.cmd.
It will now create a gatherin.txt and run both promon and Windows Performance Monitor tools to collect data.
The older information below has been maintained for legacy sake for anyone who prefers the manual approach.
Using the below text file will not collect the Windows Performance Monitor data which is less useful than using the full scripted gather.
Windows PerfMon data is collected into a perfmon_gather.blg file.
1. Create a text file called gatherwin.txt that contains the following entries:

2. Save the text file into the OpenEdge working directory.
3. Launch a proenv session from the OpenEdge Program group.
4. Type in the following command:
promon dbname -NL < gatherwin.txt >> output.txt
A text file called output.txt will be created in the working directory.
