What is an HDB?

An HDB (Historical Database) is a definition that allows you to collect, report and manage CICSĀ® statistics and transaction performance data. In the CICS PA Historical Database environment, you can create as many HDBs as required.

An HDB has the following components:

There are two types of Performance HDB, List and Summary, where the HDB type is determined by the Template. There is a third type of HDB, Statistics, for CICS Statistics and Server statistics data and CICS Transaction Gateway statistics data. For a Statistics HDB, instead of a Template, you select from a menu the statistics categories and reports that identify the data that you want collected.
