To select an option, enter a code and a Database ID. To communicate with ADASAF in a particular nucleus running as part of an Adabas Cluster or Parallel Services environment, enter the NucID as well as the Database ID. Alternatively, if you do not know the available NucIDs, enter the Database ID and the node number of the Adabas System Coordinator daemon for that cluster to obtain a list of active NucIDs for the database, from which you may select one.

For SAF User ID Statistics (option code 2), also enter a SAF User ID if you wish to view statistics for an individual user ID without first displaying the list of active user IDs.

From the main menu, you may switch to the online systems of Adabas System Coordinator (PF6), Adabas Fastpath (PF7), Adabas Vista (PF8), or Adabas Transaction Manager (PF10), by pressing the appropriate PF key. You may also switch from any screen with a Command ==> line by entering the appropriate three-character code as a command.

PF12 can be used to display a list of installed versions of SYSAAF. To select the required version, mark it with any non-blank character. The default is to use the latest installed version. The ADASAF demo INPL is supplied with Adabas and is converted to full licensed mode by installing the INPL dataset supplied with ADASAF. If any of the versions on the screen are followed by (D), it indicates 2that only the demo INPL was installed for that version. The online services version selected will work with the same or later versions of ADASAF in a protected nucleus.

The following options are available:

Option Description
System Statistics Provides statistics at the database level.
SAF User ID Statistics Provides statistics for SAF user IDs.
Zap Display Display zap information.
Storage Display Display internal storage information.
System Tracing Display trace information.
Server Restart Restart server.
System Parameters Display system parameters.
About SAF Security Display product overview information.

From the main menu, you enter an option code, an ADASAF-protected Database ID, and an optional user ID. To move from one option to another, you can return to the main menu using PF12 , or enter the number of the desired target option in the command line.

Entering Commands

The command line in the SYSAAF screens is useful for jumping quickly from one function to another. For example, entering the value 2 on the command line will invoke the User Statistics option. If you enter an invalid number, you are returned to the main menu.

You can also use the command line to change the ID of the database that you are monitoring without returning to the main menu. Enter the dbid=nnnnn (this can be abbreviated to db=). For example, dbid=12345 or db=12345. Alternatively, you can change the Database ID by simply overtyping it on any screen.

Any other command is passed to Natural.
