Functional Overview

ADAICK checks the physical structure of the Associator. This includes validating the index based upon the descriptor value structures and the Associator extents defined by the general control blocks (GCBs) and file control blocks (FCBs).

The ADAICK utility should be used only for diagnostic purposes.

ADAICK can perform the following functions:

When specifying an ISN for a spanned record in an ADAICK utility run, be sure to specify the primary ISN of the spanned record, not a secondary ISN of the spanned record. ADAICK utility processing assumes all specified ISNs are primary ISNs; secondary ISNs will automatically be processed.

Notes:

  1. ADAICK can run with or without an active Adabas nucleus.
  2. A pending autorestart condition is ignored.
  3. If the nucleus is active, ADAICK synchronizes its operation with the active nucleus unless the NOOPEN parameter is specified.
  4. If spanned records are used in the database, the report produced by ADAICK DSCHECK identifies the primary and secondary spanned record ISNs.
