Note the MENU001 message in the lower left quadrant and "No Cache" in the upper right hand quadrant of the screen. "No Cache" will be replaced by "Global Cache" or "File Level" once Adabas Caching has been activated.

To start Adabas Caching Online Services, select Caching Facility from either the demo or full version Adabas Online System main menu.

One of two menus will appear, depending on whether the ADARUN parameter CFILE has been specified:

The memory type depends on the operating system under which Adabas is running. For more information on cache memory types, see section Caching Configuration.

Using PF Keys

PF1 (Help) provides information about the current function, PF3 is Exit and PF12 returns to the main menu.

Other PF keys are used depending on the options activated.
