How to analyze HDB data
Three facilities are provided to help you analyze HDB data:
- Reporting.
The HDB Reporting facility provides flexible reporting of HDBs via Report Forms.
You can also use the Transaction Profiling report to compare data in a Performance HDB with data in SMF files, data in the same HDB, or data in another Performance HDB.
- Exporting to DB2®.
HDB data can be loaded directly into a DB2 table for further analysis. HDB data is saved in a format that is suitable for direct load. The HDB Export facility automates this process for you.
- Extracting to CSV.
HDB data can be exported into an extract data set in CSV format (comma separated values) for further analysis by PC spreadsheet tools.
