HDB(LOAD) - HDB Load

The HDB(LOAD) operand requests CICS PA to load historical performance data (List or Summary) or Statistics data from SMF data sets into an HDB.

A Recap report containing processing statistics is always printed at the end of extract processing.

The command format is:
CICSPA HDB(LOAD(hdbname)
         [,OUTPUT(ddname)])
The options are:
LOAD
Specifies the name of the HDB to be loaded. The HDB must be defined in the Repository (DDname CPAHDBRG).
OUTPUT
DDname for the Recap report output. CICS PA records the results of the Load operation in this File. If not specified, CICS PA assigns a DDname of HDBLnnnn where nnnn is the numerical sequence number 0001-9999.
Note: LOAD ignores any additional HDB request operands, including FIELDS and SELECT. Load processing uses:
  1. The Template to determine which fields are contained in the HDB. It does not use the FIELDS operand.
  2. Selection Criteria specified in the HDB definition and its Template. It does not use the SELECT operand.
