The manifest should be rebuilt 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.
See Build the manifest.

If you plan to export to DB2®: The DB2 table name for a Performance HDB intended for the CICS PA plug-in is fixed as qualifier.CPA_CMFPSUM. This is unlike a user Performance HDB, where the DB2 table name is the same as the HDB name. Note that the qualifier is also specified as the Schema in the plug-in DB2 connection settings.
When you export a Performance HDB to DB2, the CICS® PA dialog generates JCL to perform the export. This JCL specifies the DB2 table name. Do not change the DB2 table name in the generated JCL as this would result in the CICS PA plug-in not finding the DB2 table.
Multiple performance HDBs with the same qualifier will be exported to the same DB2 table. This allows you to consolidate data from multiple HDBs into a single DB2 table for analysis using the CICS PA plug-in.
