Components of a Report Definition

An Adabas Review report definition provides three types of information: database fields to be monitored, processing rules, and option parameters.

This document covers the following topics:


Database Fields

The selection of database fields defines the subject of the Adabas Review report.

A field identifies a type of information to be collected by the report; for example, information about an Adabas command, the Natural program issuing the command, the Adabas nucleus, the teleprocessing monitor, or the operating system being used. The PF11 (Flds) option is used to display a list of all available Adabas Review report fields.

Up to 20 fields may be used in a particular report. However, the number of fields that can be displayed is limited to the total line size (250 bytes) that can be displayed when a report is viewed online.

Fields to be displayed in a report are entered on the Edit Report screen of the Edit Report (ER) function as shown in the following example:

20:35:15                  A D A B A S  -  R E V I E W               2003-07-07

Reporting fields STARTDATE and STARTTIME cannot be used in processing rules.

Processing rules are entered on the Report Processing Rules screen of the Edit Report (ER) function as shown in the following example:

20:24:56                  A D A B A S  -  R E V I E W               2003-07-07

An Adabas Review report processing rule is specified by a field, a relational operator (equal to, less than, greater than, not equal to), and a specific value or range of values.

If there are multiple processing rules, the appropriate logical operator (AND or OR) must also be specified.

Fields used in processing rules are not displayed in the report results unless they are listed on the Edit Report screen.
