Adabas Review retrieves information about Adabas usage by collecting data in the form of reports. This part of the documentation describes Adabas Review report types and components, and discusses the display programs used for report output.
Reports capture command log information and provide information about both online and batch transactions. Reports collect data about multiple teleprocessing environments and batch programs that are all using the same database.
An Adabas Review report has two parts: a definition and a display program.
A report definition is a set of parameters that specify the data to be captured and a set of processing rules that identify the conditions under which the data is to be captured.
A report display program is a Natural program that specifies the appearance of the report output, whether viewed online or downloaded to a personal computer (PC).
The Edit Report (ER) function is used to create Adabas Review report definitions, with the following exceptions:
The Edit Buffer Pool Report (EB) function is used to create the Edit Buffer Pool Report.
The Edit Cluster Services Report (EX) function is used to create the Cluster Services Report.
The Edit Pulse Report (EL) function is used to create the Adabas Pulse Report.
These functions are available from the Adabas Review Main Menu.
In addition, Software AG delivers prepared report definitions called supplied reports with Adabas Review. Supplied reports may be modified to meet the requirements at a particular site.
Supplied Reports contains a complete description of each Adabas Review report delivered with the software.
