You can easily switch around the tools for Fastpath, Vista, etc., by use of the
PF Keys shown, or use the codes COR, AFP, AVI, AAF, ATM as commands - anytime.


 Command ==>
Enter-PF1---PF2---PF3---PF4---PF5---PF6---PF7---PF8---PF9---PF10--PF11--PF12
      Help        Exit              COR   AFP   AVI   AAF               Vers

Whenever the MENU command is executed, the transaction manager proxy searches the system for an executing transaction manager (TM):

The following options are available:

Option Description
System Settings Maintain configuration file setting.
Job Parameters Add and maintain job parameter definitions.
Transaction Manager Daemon Information Display ATM daemon information.
Local User Information Display local user (ATM proxy) information.
About Adabas Transaction Manager Display product information.

By default, the latest installed version of Online Services is executed. If you wish to use an earlier version, use PF12 to display a list of the available versions and then select the version to be used.

You can switch from the SYSATM application to SYSCOR, SYSAFP, SYSAVI or SYSAAF by pressing PF6, PF7, PF8 or PF9, respectively. You can achieve the same from most screens by entering COR, AFP, AVI or AAF, respectively, on the command line.

Note:
If you use this facility to switch to SYSAFP, for example, you might find that the same mechanism does not return you to SYSATM 7.5. This will be corrected in a future update to SYSAFP. The same applies to SYSAVI, SYSAAF and SYSCOR. Meanwhile, you can correct the error by using SYSMAIN to copy the object U1CMDLS1 from library SYSMT751 to library SYSMx742, where x is W for Adabas Fastpath., V for Adabas Vista, P for Adabas System Coordinator, and X for Adabas SAF Security. Alternatively, you can simply log on to SYSATM once again.
