You can reduce the amount of data you initially collect
by identifying patterns in your resource names, and by using a collection
ID to identify the data you load into DB2®.
Identifying patterns in resource names
Some CICS resource
types can have resource names that are based on a prefix or a suffix
concatenated with a counter or an address. These resource names can
create millions of records that are stored in the CICS IA data
space, VSAM files, and the DB2 database.
Identifying the data by using a collection ID
The COLLECTION_ID column in the CICS Dependency Data tables is assigned to the
data during the DB2 load utilities
for Dependency data.
