To select an option, enter a code and a Database ID. To communicate with ADASAF in a particular nucleus running as part of an Adabas Cluster or Parallel Services environment, enter the NucID as well as the Database ID. Alternatively, if you do not know the available NucIDs, enter the Database ID and the node number of the Adabas System Coordinator daemon for that cluster to obtain a list of active NucIDs for the database, from which you may select one.
To communicate with the daemon security service, enter the daemon node as Database ID.
For SAF User ID Statistics (option code 2), also enter a SAF User ID if you wish to view statistics for an individual user ID without first displaying the list of active user IDs.
PF12 can be used to display a list of installed versions of SYSAAF. To select the required version, mark it with any non-blank character. The default is to use the latest installed version. The ADASAF demo INPL is supplied with Adabas and is converted to full licensed mode by installing the INPL dataset supplied with ADASAF. If any of the versions on the screen are followed by (D), it indicates 2that only the demo INPL was installed for that version. The online services version selected will work with the same or later versions of ADASAF in a protected nucleus.
The following options are available:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| System Settings | Maintain system settings. |
| System Statistics | Provides statistics at the system level. |
| SAF User ID Statistics | Provides statistics for SAF user IDs. |
| Fix Display | Display fix information. |
| Storage Display | Display internal storage information. |

Note:
From the Adabas SAF Security main menu, you may switch to the online
systems of Adabas System Coordinator, Adabas Fastpath, Adabas Vista or Adabas
Transaction Manager by pressing PF11. PF11 cycles in the
sequence System Coordinator to Transaction Manager to Fastpath to Vista to SAF
Security. You may also switch from any screen with a command line by entering
the appropriate three-character code (for example, AVI for Adabas Vista) as a
command. You may only switch to the same version of another online system.
From the main menu, you enter an option code, an ADASAF-protected Database ID, and an optional user ID. To move from one option to another, you can return to the main menu using PF12 , or enter the number of the desired target option in the command line.
The command line in the SYSAAF screens is useful for jumping quickly from one function to another. For example, entering the value 2 on the command line will invoke the User Statistics option. If you enter an invalid number, you are returned to the main menu.
You can also use the command line to change the ID of the database that
you are monitoring without returning to the main menu. Enter the
dbid=nnnnn (this can be abbreviated to
db=). For example,
dbid=12345 or db=12345.
Alternatively, you can change the Database ID by simply overtyping it on any
screen.
Any other command is passed to Natural.
Throughout SYSAAF, PF1 (Help) provides information about the current function, PF3 is Exit and PF12 returns to the main menu.
In list functions, PF7 (Up) and PF8 (Down) scroll up and down the list, use command m and PF7 or PF8 to scroll to the top or bottom of a list. Those list screens that do not provide a top or bottom option ignore m.
To invoke help information
Press PF1.
The help screen that appears applies to the current screen and may comprise several pages. From each help screen, you can access lower level options or return to previous, higher levels.
