This user exit receives control from the Adabas nucleus whenever the nucleus starts or stops, or whenever the nucleus or an Adabas utility receives a message from or sends a message to the operator. User exit 8 can be used to provide specific instructions to the operator
when the nucleus starts and (normally) stops operation;
as added information when Adabas sends console messages to the operator;
to confirm commands entered by the operator.
User exit 8 is invoked:
(MODE=MULTI only) after Adabas startup, as soon as the nucleus is able to answer calls from user programs. At this point, the nucleus is now active.
immediately after the Adabas nucleus or utility issues a console operator message. The user exit call is in addition to the standard message processing; the message itself cannot be changed during the user exit.
after the Adabas nucleus or utility receives an operator command. The exit is called before the command is actually processed, and can reject or replace the command. The command cannot be modified in its original area.
before a normal Adabas nucleus stop. At this point, the nucleus is no longer active; any more nucleus calls result in response code 148 (ADARSP148). This exit is not called if the nucleus ends abnormally.
