A manifest is a proprietary DB2 table named qualifier.CPA_MANIFEST that contains all the information required by the CICS PA plug-in for CICS Explorer® to access and use the historical data. A manifest is a catalog of HDBs that are associated with the same qualifier and for which the Explorer indicator is set.
For more information about the IBM® CICS Explorer, see the following Web page:
http://www.ibm.com/cics/explorer
The manifest qualifier and Explorer options are specified in the HDB definition.
A manifest build is requested from option 5.5 Historical Database Export or option 5.7 Historical Database Maintenance. From the list of HDBs, select Explorer -> Manifest Maintenance from the action bar. Specify the manifest qualifier and if required, DB2 table details, then press Enter to generate the JCL.
CICSPA MANIFEST(QUALIFIER(xxxxxxxx),
[TSVRM(nnn),
TGVRM(nnn)])
CICS PA assigns a DDname of MANB0001 for the Recap report output.
Successful completion of the Manifest Build request produces a Recap report. It contains output from the job step that populates the manifest and lists the HDBs and their DB2 tables that were included for the specified qualifier.
