Using the HDB dialog

CICS PA provides a menu-driven facility for managing your Historical Databases. A CICS PA Historical Database (HDB) is a repository of performance related data for your CICS® systems. The type of information and level of detail contained in an HDB is determined by user-defined templates.

This chapter describes the CICS PA dialog for defining templates, defining and maintaining your HDBs, producing reports from the HDB data, and exporting the HDB data to DB2® tables.
