DBA Tasks

Note:
Dataset names starting with DD are referred to in the Adabas documentation with a slash separating the DD from the remainder of the dataset name to accommodate VSE/ESA dataset names that do not contain the DD prefix. The slash is not part of the dataset name.

This documentation describes the complete range of management and control tasks necessary for the successful operation of the database environment. This information is organized in the following parts:

../graphics/gr_b_sm.gif DBA Roles and Responsibilities This part reviews the role and functions of the database administrator (DBA).
../graphics/gr_b_sm.gif Database Design This part provides information on database design. It includes information on Adabas file structures, multiple value fields and periodic groups, record design, use of keys (descriptors), disk space usage (compression, null-value suppression, padding factors), security planning, restart and recovery planning, multiclient files, and expanded files.
../graphics/gr_b_sm.gif Database Maintenance Tasks This part describes tasks involved in defining and maintaining a database, including tuning and error handling.
../graphics/gr_b_sm.gif Adabas Online System Demo Version This part describes the Adabas Online System (AOS) demo version supplied with Adabas that provides also access to the online services of selected other Adabas products.
../graphics/gr_b_sm.gif AFPLOOK This part describes the Adabas Fastpath command analysis sampler (AFPLOOK), which can be used to determine where the best results may be expected from Adabas Fastpath by reporting on the command constructs that qualify for Adabas Fastpath.
../graphics/gr_b_sm.gif AVILOOK This part describes the Adabas Vista command analysis sampler (AVILOOK), which can be used to determine those files which may benefit from Adabas Vista’s Partitioning option by reporting on the command constructs used to access the file.
