Starting Adabas Review

This document describes the procedures for setting up and using Adabas Review after the installation has been completed.


Starting Adabas Review for the First Time

If this is the first time you have installed Adabas Review, or you have loaded a new Adabas Review repository file, you must initialize:

Initializing the Adabas Review User Profile System

Start of instruction setTo initialize the Adabas Review user profile system:

  1. Access Natural as you normally do.

  2. At the NEXT prompt, log on to the library SYSREVDB.

    Note:
    Wherever the NEXT prompt is specified, the command can also be issued from the Natural main menu command line.

  3. At the NEXT prompt, enter INSTALL UP and press ENTER.

    This initializes the Review user profile system and adds one default user record to the system. You must have this initial user defined in order to enter Adabas Review.

    The following message appears when the user profile subsystem has been successfully installed:

    Default user profile installed

    Note:
    The Adabas Review default user profile is delivered with the HUB / LOCL database ID set to zero. When running Adabas Review in local mode, the zero setting causes the initial database ID to be set to the same value as the Natural LFILE parameter value. However, when starting Adabas Review in hub mode, you need to modify the default user profile and reset the zero to the ADARUN REVIEW=hubid value. You can also manually override the default user profile database ID value by issuing HUB=hubid from the command line after you log on to Adabas Review.

  4. At the NEXT prompt, enter MENU and press ENTER to display the main menu:
