The following Software AG products support automatic control of Adabas Fastpath data when an Adabas utility is operating:
Adabas Cluster Services Version 7.2.2 (or above)
Adabas Parallel Services Version 7.4.2 (or above)
Adabas Version 7.4.2 (or above)
When using Adabas version 7.1, the Adabas Fastpath stop/start function must be used to protect databases and files when an Adabas utility is operating on that database/file.
Databases and files may be protected online using Adabas Fastpath Online Services (SYSAFP) or in batch mode using the Adabas Fastpath tool AFPCMD. The batch job name must be defined as a job parameter linked to the global buffer for which the operation is required.
The commands are as follows:
For the whole buffer:
STOP BUFFER
RESTART BUFFER
For a database:
STOP DATABASE DBID=dbid
START DATABASE DBID=dbid
For an individual file:
STOP FILE DBID=dbid FNR=fnr
START FILE DBID=dbid FNR=fnr
