Adabas Caching can be used to improve system performance by augmenting the Adabas buffer pool in extended memory, data spaces, hiperspace and, in selected environments, 64-bit virtual storage, as well as 64-bit virtual backed by large pages which is enabled using the IBM z/OS Large Page Support provided with IBM z/OS 1.9 or above and enabled on the z10 IBM mainframe processor.
Adabas Caching Version 8.2 provides support for Virtual 64 storage backed by large pages in those environments that support this type of storage. When Virtual 64 storage is used, the controlling structures for ADACSH are also moved into Virtual 64 storage, thus removing some of the storage constraints when using very large cache spaces.
For a complete list of the environments supported by Adabas Caching Version 8.2, see the section Supported Environments.
In this release, Adabas Caching key performance indicator (KPI) statistics are now provided to webMethods Optimize for Infrastructure. Using the Optimize component of webMethods Optimize for Infrastructure, you can monitor the status of these statistics as well as the overall status of your system. This support is available in version 8.2 (and later versions) of webMethods Optimize for Infrastructure.
See Adabas Caching Installation for the steps required to install Adabas Caching.
