The HDB(HKEEP) operand requests CICS PA to perform housekeeping on the Repository (DDname CPAHDBRG). Housekeeping deletes expired HDB container data sets and DB2 data and removes definitions from the Repository that are no longer required.
CICSPA HDB(HKEEP)
Another function, "Repair Repository using VERIFY command," is only available from the Housekeeping dialog (Option 8 on the Historical Database Menu).
Successful completion of the Housekeeping request generates a report that provides information about the list of Container data sets that were deleted. In this example, CICS® PA deleted two Container data sets for HDB CICSWEEK in Repository CICSPROD.CICSPA.XYX.REPOSTRY.
