Adabas Manager replaces the Basic Services component of the Adabas Online System and includes functions comparable to the Adabas operator commands and utilities.
Adabas Manager allows the DBA to interactively monitor and change aspects of an Adabas database while an Adabas session is active. Its web-based graphical user interface (GUI) allows the DBA to easily view resource status and user queues; display and revise space allocation; change file and database parameters; define a new file online; and stop a selected user or current Adabas session.
DBA tasks directly affecting the database (designing, selecting tuning aids, predicting changes, deciding and enforcing database rules, organizing and administering file conversions, measuring database use, and tuning for best database performance) can all be done using Adabas Manager.
For analyzing performance and monitoring database operation, Adabas Manager allows you to see the system from the viewpoint of either a user or a particular system resource. For example, you can perform the following user-related tasks:
monitor the operation of a particular user or all users
check user and command queue status
change user priority
stop a user from using a particular file, or stop all inactive users
Some of the resource-related tasks you can perform are
view and update nucleus parameters
monitor command and file usage and system performance information
list file layout and extent status; and
list file distribution of the database by VOLSER
For controlling the overall Adabas session, Adabas Manager provides you with ways to
change file parameters
define new files and rename, renumber, refresh, uncouple, or delete files
create new FDTs, fields, and change field lengths
switch ISN and Data Storage reuse on and off by file, and release descriptors
terminate an Adabas nucleus session (ADAEND, HALT, CANCEL); and
control logging for the Adabas Delta Save Facility
The Adabas Manager Enterprise Edition supports the following functionality, which is not available in the Standard Edition:
