The manifest should be rebuilt whenever you add or change an HDB in a way that affects its eligibility for inclusion in the manifest. For example, if an HDB is currently included in the manifest and you change its qualifier or clear the Explorer option, it is no longer eligible for inclusion in the manifest.
In addition, the manifest will only contain entries for statistics reports with a status of Collect=Yes or Alt and DB2 Load=Yes. If these indicators are not set, the report will not be included in the manifest and therefore will not accessible through the CICS PA plug-in. Therefore you should rebuild the manifest whenever any changes are made to the status of a statistics report in an eligible Statistics HDB.
See Build the manifest.

Multiple Statistics HDBs with the same qualifier will be exported to the same set of DB2 statid tables. This allows you to consolidate data from multiple HDBs into a single set of tables for analysis using the CICS PA plug-in.
