A manifest is a proprietary DB2 table that contains all the information required by the CICS PA plug-in to access and use historical data. The manifest is a catalog of DB2 tables for HDBs that are associated with the same qualifier and for which the Explorer indicator is set.
Rebuild the manifest 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 report in an eligible Statistics HDB.
The list of HDBs appears.

The manifest table will be named qualifier.CPA_MANIFEST. HDBs that have the same qualifier and which are otherwise eligible will be included in this manifest.
Press Enter again. An edit panel appears, containing JCL to create the required DB2® table.
This example shows an example of the Recap report that is written by the manifest build job to MANB0001. This shows the total number of Performance and Statistics tables included in the manifest. Duplicate entries are listed in the report, though only the first occurrence is included in the manifest.
