Defining a Statistics HDB allows you to collect (load) and report historical CICS® statistics and server statistics data and CICS Transaction Gateway statistics data. The definition alone does not cause any action by CICS PA.

Specify APPLID to ensure that only data for this CICS system is loaded into the HDB. At Load time, CICS PA will generate JCL that includes this APPLID in the command deck and DD statements for this system's SMF Files.
qualifier.CPA_statid
Qualifier
is mandatory if Explorer is selected, and optional otherwise. If Qualifier
and Explorer are both entered then details of this HDB will be included
in the manifest for the CICS PA plug-in the
next time it is rebuilt for this qualifier.The format of the data set name is
DSN-prefix.HDB-name.Dyyddd.Thhmmss.HDB
where the DSN prefix is the data set name high level qualifier.
Specify allocation settings that satisfy your installation requirements. The size of container data sets is not critical. Typically you would specify a size that accommodates a single load request. For example, if you load data into the HDB daily, then 10 cylinders might be sufficient. However if CICS PA encounters an out-of-space condition (ABENDx37) during load, then it simply closes the data set and recommences loading in a new data set. You can decide to specify a larger size initially and adjust it later using HDB Maintenance.
