You need to specify the Template name and type. In this example, a Summary Template called PRODSUM is created. Other options affect which CMF Fields the Template will initially be defined with. They can be used to reduce the amount of fields contained in the Template.
If a CICS system (APPLID/Image) is specified and a VRM can be derived from the MCT load library or SDFHLOAD library, then that VRM is used. If a VRM cannot be derived from the system definition then the VRM value specified in this panel is used.
If you do not specify either a CICS System or a VRM, then CICS PA populates the Template with fields applicable to the latest supported release of CICS.
Within the selected categories, the fields added to your Template depend on the specified CICS APPLID or VRM. If APPLID is specified, CICS PA obtains the fields from the CMF Dictionary for that APPLID. Otherwise the VRM is used (the default is 680).
A List HDB contains data records for individual transactions. Typically, List HDBs are used for the detailed analysis of recent transaction events and have a short life span (retention).
A Summary HDB contains data records that summarize transaction activity over a specified time interval. Typically, Summary HDBs are used for long term trend analysis and capacity planning.
When specification is complete, press Enter to proceed with defining the Template.
