Enter line action S to select an HDB for Load processing. You are prompted to specify run-time options, then CICS PA will build the JCL to load data into your HDB.
You can select multiple HDBs to load in succession.
SORT and LOCATE commands are available to help you work with the list of HDBs.
Load creates the JCL that builds the HDBs. The Load process is handled via normal CICS PA command input. This allows multiple reports, extracts and HDBs to be created via a single pass of the SMF data.

In the example above, CICS PA generates an APPLID(CICSPROD) operand in the command deck and includes DD statements for the SMF Files defined in System Definitions for CICSPROD.
It is recommended that you specify relative dates if you want to use an automated job scheduler to run the load HDB JCL regularly. The JCL can be set up once and run daily without needing to change it.
Then to submit the job, enter SUBmit in the Edit command line.
If this option is not selected, the generated JCL is not displayed and the job is submitted immediately.
After you have specified your Load options, press Enter. You are prompted to Press ENTER to proceed with request. This provides a last opportunity to review and change your load request.
