In CICS PA V3.2
the manifest was introduced to enhance how performance HDB data is
exported for viewing in the CICS® PA
plug-in for CICS Explorer®. HDB
and DB2® tables that were set
up for the CICS PA
plug-in in
V3.1 must be changed before they can be included in the manifest and
accessed from the CICS PA
plug-in.
About this task
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. To include the Performance HDB in
the manifest, you must modify the HDB definition to specify a qualifier
and select the Explorer indicator.
You must also replace
the current Template with one of the internal templates that are designed
for use with the CICS PA
plug-in.
These are named EXPLORnn.The process for
migrating the DB2 table depends
on whether you REPLACE your DB2 table
every time you reload it; or RESUME (that is, append) new data to
the existing data in the table. The following procedure covers both
methods.
Procedure
- Select the performance HDB from the HDB Maintenance panel
and make the following changes:
- Specify a qualifier. This HDB will be included in the
manifest for the corresponding qualifier.
- Select the Explorer indicator.
- Replace the current template name with EXPLORnn,
where nn is the version of CICS TS that you are migrating to.
- Press the Exit key (F3) to save the HDB definition.
- Update the DB2 table
and VIEW as follows:
- REPLACE users: DROP the existing table and its associated
VIEW.
In the HDB Maintenance panel, enter the T line action next
to the performance HDB. This will generate DB2 commands to create the new DB2 table and VIEW. Submit the generated JCL.
- RESUME users: Rename the existing DB2 table to qqqqqqqq.CPA_CMFPSUM,
where qqqqqqqq is the qualifier specified in the
HDB definition.
In the HDB Maintenance panel, use the T line action
next to the performance HDB. This will generate DB2 commands to create the DB2 Table and VIEW. Delete the TABLE CREATE command
and change the VIEW DROP command to DROP VIEW EXPLORER_SUMMARY. Submit
the JCL to DROP and then recreate the VIEW so that it picks up the
new table name.
