Summary template
A Summary Template defines the fields to be included in one or more Summary HDBs. A Summary HDB contains data records that summarize transaction activity over a specified time interval. Typically, Summary HDBs are used for long term trend analysis and capacity planning.

- Scroll Right (F11) for more information.
- Specify the following details. Where these differ with the List
Template, the differences are noted.
- Description. The default description is Summary HDB Template.
- Version (VRM).
- Selection Criteria. For example, the HDB only includes data for transactions that use File Control services (FCTOTAL>0).
- Time Interval. Summary Templates specify a recording time
interval in the range 00:00:01 (1 second) to 24:00:00 (24 hours).
The default is 00:01:00 (1 minute) which indicates that summary
data is accumulated and recorded in 1 minute intervals. Select the
interval carefully because it will impact on HDB processing as follows:
- Loading. Shorter recording intervals write more records, increasing the size of your HDB data sets.
- Reporting. Longer recording intervals restrict reporting. For example, if you specify a recording interval of 1 hour then you can only report on 1 hour (or higher) intervals, and 15 minute interval reporting is not possible.
A time interval of less than one hour must fit evenly into the hour. CICS PA will round it down to the nearest interval that aligns to the hour. For example, 1.35 is reduced to 00:01:30 minutes which will produce 40 interval report lines for each hour of data.
A time interval of more than one hour must fit evenly into the day. CICS PA will round it down to the nearest interval that aligns to the day. For example, 10.30.23 is reduced to 08:00:00 hours which will produce 3 interval report lines for each day of data.
Minutes take precedence for an abbreviated entry. For example:- 1
- becomes 00:01:00
- 1.1
- becomes 00:01:00 (rounded down from 00:01:01)
- 1.1.1
- becomes 01:00:00 (rounded down from 01:01:01)
This option generates the INTERVAL(hh:mm:ss) operand.
- Field rows. A Summary Template has the following additional
features:
- Key fields must be together at the top of the Template.
- The allowed key fields are: START, STOP, MVSID, APPLID, TRAN, TERM, APPLTRAN, APPLPROG, JOBNAME, PRCSTYPE, RPTCLASS, SRVCLASS, TCLASSNM, TCPSRVCE, USERID. Up to six key fields can be specified, but at least one must be specified. Either START or STOP must be specified as the first field at the top of the Template.
- TASKCNT is a required field immediately after the key fields.

When editing is complete, press Exit (F3) to save your Template.
- Do not change the key fields of a Summary Template.
- Do not change the focus of a Template. For example, if the Template includes Temporary Storage fields only, do not delete those fields and insert File Control fields in their place. You should create another Template with a focus on File Control.
