    Each partitioned file is uniquely identified by a Profile ID, database number, and file number, together with a target category. In Natural systems, database and file numbers are defined in the DDM. The Profile ID and target category are set by the appropriate job parameter (defaults to blank Profile ID and default target category as specified on the Maintain Target Categories screen if no job parameter has been defined). The Profile ID and target category can be changed using an Adabas Vista API function.

    Part-Field is the Adabas field used to distribute the data into the separate partitions.

    A partitioned file definition may have a version status of published or draft. Only a published version can be executed; only a draft version can be modified.

  2. Enter one of the following options in the C column to select an entry:

    d display
    m modify
    p purge
    c copy
    w withdraw
    e expand
    l list target categories
    u publish draft definition
  3. PF11 (marked >>>>) may be used to scroll forward and back through all the target categories currently defined (see Maintain Target Categories for further details). A specific target category may be entered for re-positioning purposes.

Add (Define) a Partitioned File

Start of instruction setTo add a partitioned file

  1. Press PF10 from the Maintain Partitioning Profiles screen to display the Add Partitioned File screen.

    Refer to section Parameters for detailed information about each input field.

    The version status of an added partitioned file is always draft.

    If PF10 is pressed with the cursor in the C column, source information is taken from that definition. If the cursor is elsewhere on the screen when PF10 is pressed, there is no associated definition that can be used. In either case, new data may be specified in all fields on the screen.

  2. Enter the source database, file number and the optional Profile ID. Also enter the target category. This must already have been defined using target category maintenance (see Maintain Target Categories for details).

    An optional name may be defined for the partitioned file to make it easier to identify.

  3. Enter the Adabas field information for the Partitioning Field.

    Refer to the parameter Partitioning Field for more information.

  4. In the example screen shown above, default values are used for all the options.

    Press PF6 to modify the default settings.

    Each partition is identified by a database and file number that is used by Adabas Vista to direct a command in order to satisfy a request for data.

    The Partition ID (Part ID) uniquely identifies a partition and, together with the Adabas ISN, forms the Adabas Vista ISN.

    The field ACSI contains the partition options: Access, Critical, Shared Partition, Adabas TOPISN. In the case of Adabas TOPISN, a value of D means that the default TOPISN for the partitioned file is in use for that partition. A value of U means that the default TOPISN has been overridden.

    The field Partitioning Field High Value is the highest value of the partitioning field that can reside in each partition.

    Refer to section Parameters for further information.

Maintain Translation Profiles

Translation Rules

A translation rule is used by Adabas Vista to re-direct a command from a source environment to a target environment. It is uniquely identified by a Profile ID and a source database and file number.

A translation rule has two versions: a published version and a draft version. Only the published version can be executed; only the draft version can be modified.

List Translation Rules

Start of instruction setTo display a list of translation rules

  1. Select service 2 from the Maintenance menu or enter the command 1.2 on the command line.

    The version of an added translation rule is always "draft".

  2. Enter the Profile ID (optional), the source database and file number, the target category, and the target database and file number.

    An optional name may be given to the translation rule to make it easier to identify.

    A source and target file number of zero indicates that the translation rule applies to all files for the source database number (for this Profile ID and target category). If such a rule exists and a rule also exists for a specific file with the same source database number, then the file rule will override the "all-files" rule.

    In the example screen, any access to database 1 is translated to database 2.

  3. Press PF5 to add the translation rule definition.

  5. Enter a job name in the resulting window.

    It is possible to enter one or more asterisks (*) to indicate a wild card. For example, the job parameter with the name CICS**PR is found by any job with the name CICS in positions 1-4 and PR in positions 7-8, no matter what the characters are in positions 5-6. If an asterisk (*) is the last character in a job name, the remainder of positions in the name through the eighth are padded with asterisks.

    The initial parameter values set up for the new job are copied from those specified in the *DEFAULT entry for the selected job type.

    If no default entry exists for the job type, then Adabas Vista product default values are used.

    Job parameters are always matched on type. The order of search within type is

    1. Match on exact job name.

    2. Match on wild card definitions.

    3. Use the default for the job type, if one has been defined.

    Note that the number of wild card job names defined for a job type has a direct effect on the number of Adabas commands needed to establish the job parameters at initialization. This is particularly relevant to batch jobs that process relatively few Adabas commands.

    For an explanation of the Coordinator Group Name and Clustered Application Service Name, refer to the section Parameters and to the Adabas System Coordinator documentation.

  6. To create a default job definition, select the appropriate job type and enter a "D" as the name.

    Note:
    Default job definitions are not available for job type CICS Cluster.

    A specific job definition overrides any default definition.

    When a job parameter is added, control is returned to the job list.

  7. To make changes to the parameter record just added, select the job from the list by marking column C with an "m".
