The HDB Extract facility allows you to export data from your HDB data sets to an extract data set in CSV (comma separated values) format, suitable as input into PC-based spreadsheet applications.
A List HDB contains data records for individual transactions. Typically, List HDB extracts are used for the detailed analysis of recent transaction events and the data typically has a short life span (retention).
A Summary HDB contains data records that summarize transaction activity over a specified time interval. Typically, Summary HDB extracts are used for long term trend analysis and capacity planning.
A Statistics HDB contains collections of CICSĀ® statistics and server statistics data and CICS Transaction Gateway statistics data over a specified time interval.
