The HDB container data set details shown here are:
  • The name of the data set. The suffix indicates the contents:
    • .HDB indicates that the data set contains CICS statistics or transaction performance data.
    • .HPA indicates that the data set contains performance alert data.

    Because HDB and HPA containers have the same space allocation but different record length and record counts, they are likely to fill at different rates. Therefore they will be allocated at different times resulting in different name identifiers. In other words, there will not usually be a one-to-one relationship between associated HDB and HPA data sets.

  • The time stamp of the first record in the data set.
  • The status of the HDB container data set:
    • If delete pending, it is marked Del.
    • If the HDB retention period has been exceeded, it is marked Exp (expired).
    • If neither delete pending nor expired, it is marked Act (active).
  • The status of DB2 table data associated with the HDB container data set:
    • If the DB2 retention period has been exceeded, it is marked Exp (expired).
    • If not all data has expired, it is marked Pxp (partially expired).
    • If neither delete pending nor expired, it is marked Act (active).
    • If the status is unavailable (because the DB2 retention period is not specified), it is marked n/a.
Data sets and DB2 data marked Del or Exp are physically deleted when Housekeeping is next run.

Associated HDB and HPA containers can be managed independently. This means that they do not have to be deleted at the same time.

Scroll Right (F11) to view the VOLSER where the data set resides, if active.

Line Actions

Display the selection list of line actions.
S
Select the HDB data set to view status information, as shown in Figure 2.
B
Browse the data set using ISPF Browse, as shown in Figure 3
D
Delete the HDB data set. The data set is deleted in the HDB now, and physically deleted when HDB Housekeeping is next run.
U
Undo. Reverse an earlier Delete action and reinstate the data set as active in this HDB. Undo is only available on a Deleted data set until Housekeeping is run.

View HDB data set statistics

The HDB Data Set panel displays details about the HDB container data set:
  • The name of the data set and VOLSER where it resides.
  • The status of the data set: either Active, Expired, or Deleted.
  • The date the Load HDB was run and the data set was created.
  • The expiry date of the HDB data set determined by the HDB retention period. The expiry date is blank if the data set is deleted.
  • The time period spanned by the records in the data set.
  • The number of records in the data set.
  • The status of the DB2 data: either Active, Expired, Pxpired (partially expired), or n/a.
  • The expiry date of the DB2 data determined by the DB2 retention period.
