The Historical Database (HDB) facility is driven from the
CICS PA dialog,
but has associated batch processes:
- Load HDB
- HDB reporting
- HDB extract to CSV
- HDB export to DB2®
- HDB housekeeping
For these batch processes,
CICS PA dialog
generates the JCL and commands automatically, but you are given the
opportunity to edit them before job submission. The jobs can also
be run at a later time independent of the dialog.
The HDB commands are specified in the SYSIN DD statement.
The format of the commands is consistent with other CICS PA commands.
For more information, see General command format.
