HDB Reporting

The HDB(REPORT) operand requests CICS PA to generate reports from performance HDB data.

The command format is:
CICSPA HDB(REPORT(hdbname),
          [OUTPUT(ddname),]
          [NOTOTALS|TOTALS(n),]
          [INTERVAL(hh:mm:ss),]
          [FIELDS(field1[(options)],...),]
          [LINECount(nnn),]
          [SELECT(PERFORMANCE(INCLUDE|EXCLUDE(field1(values1),...),...)),]
          [SELECT2(PERFORMANCE(INCLUDE|EXCLUDE(field1(values1),...),...))])
The options are:
REPORT
Specifies the name of the performance HDB to report against. The HDB must be defined in the HDB Register (DDname CPAHDBRG).
OUTPUT
Report output file name. See OUTPUT for further information. If not specified, CICS PA assigns a DDname in the format HDBRnnnn where nnnn is the report sequence number 0001-9999 to uniquely identify the output.
NOTOTALS|TOTALS(n)
The totals level applies only to the Summary report.

Specify TOTALS(1) to TOTALS(8) to accumulate subtotals for up to 8 sort fields, print the subtotals when the sort field changes, and print a grand total at the end of the report. Default: TOTALS(8)

Specify TOTALS(0) for no subtotals, but print only the grand total.

Specify NOTOTALS for neither subtotals nor grand total.

INTERVAL
This operand applies to Summary HDBs. It specifies a time interval when the report summarizes transaction activity over time. The interval is in the range 1 second to 24 hours in the format hh:mm:ss for hours, minutes, and seconds. The HDB Summary data is already summarized by time. You can omit the INTERVAL operand to use the data's interval, or specify an interval that is longer than the data interval. For example, specify 00:15:00 if you want to summarize transaction activity over 15 minute intervals.

A time interval of less than one hour must fit evenly into the hour. CICS PA will round it down to the nearest interval that aligns to the hour. For example, 1.35 is reduced to 00:01:30 minutes which will produce 40 interval report lines for each hour of data.

A time interval of more than one hour must fit evenly into the day. CICS PA will round it down to the nearest interval that aligns to the day. For example, 10.30.23 is reduced to 08:00:00 hours which will produce 3 interval report lines for each day of data.

Minutes take precedence for an abbreviated entry. For example:
1
becomes 00:01:00
1.1
becomes 00:01:00 (rounded down from 00:01:01)
1.1.1
becomes 01:00:00 (rounded down from 01:01:01)
FIELDS
Specifies which fields are reported, the order in which they appear in the report, and their summarization presentation. Only fields that are specified in the HDB Template can be specified. Fields not contained in the HDB are reported as Missing.

When reporting from a Summary HDB, the options for specifying fields are similar to the options for a Performance Summary report. For details, seeSUMMARY(FIELDS.

When reporting from a List HDB, the options for specifying fields are similar to the options for a Performance List report. For details, seeLIST(FIELDS.

LINECount
Controls the number of lines per page in the HDB report. See LINECount for further information.
SELECT, SELECT2
Specifies what data to include or exclude from the report based on data field values. See Using SELECT statements for an explanation and examples.

Only fields that are specified in the HDB Template can be specified. Select Fields not contained in the HDB will cause selection to fail and reporting will skip the record. SELECT and SELECT2 can both be specified to perform record filtering. The CICS PA dialog generates SELECT2 statements in the command deck when you use a Report Form that has active Selection Criteria. If both SELECT and SELECT2 are specified, then the record must pass selection by both specifications for it to be included in the report.
