Maintain manifest
A manifest is a proprietary DB2 table that contains all the information required by the CICS® PA plug-in for CICS Explorer® 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. The manifest for a given qualifier can be rebuilt at any time.
About this task
Rebuild the manifest whenever you add or change an HDB in a way that affects its eligibility for inclusion in that manifest. For example, if an HDB is currently included in a manifest and you clear the Explorer option, it is no longer eligible for inclusion in that manifest. If you change the qualifier for an eligible HDB, you should rebuild both the manifest for the old qualifier and the manifest for the new qualifier.
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 be 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.
