During logon to SYSCOR, the application will determine its current run mode. Run mode can be any of the following:

Run Mode Description
Coordinator not installed The Adabas link module does not contain the Coordinator stub. Local session information will not be available but all other functions will work.
Local The TP system in use is running in local (non-daemon) mode. By default, session information will be obtained locally.
Daemon / nnn The TP system in use is running with an Adabas System Coordinator daemon. The daemon Node ID is displayed. By default, session information will be obtained from the daemon.

The run mode will be displayed on an Environment Information screen at logon. This screen also shows information about the current Adabas System Coordinator daemon, if one is used. It is displayed before the main menu appears.

The Main Menu screen will then appear:
