The Adabas Online System Main Menu allows you to perform DBA tasks within Basic Services, selectable by menu option:
| Option | Task | Read |
|---|---|---|
| A | functions display nucleus parameters, session statistics, buffer sizes for queues and areas, and maintenance levels | Monitoring Adabas Sessions |
| C | lists and deletes checkpoint information. | Maintaining Checkpoints |
| F | controls Adabas fields (increase or add a field, release a descriptor) and files (define a new file; delete a file; refresh, rename, or renumber a file; allocate file space; change file parameters). It also controls ISN / storage block reuse. | Maintaining Files |
| M | controls Adabas database (ASSO/DATA) file and space allocation, DIB blocks, and lets you recover space unused by ABENDed utilities. | Maintaining Databases |
| O | control extended error recovery, lock/unlock of files, stop user(s), session termination, and management of online utilities | Performing System Operator Command Functions |
| R | displays tables of "critical" extents, a file's FDT, general and specific file information, VOLSER, and general database information. | Reviewing the Database Report |
| S | provides an aid to calculating database ASSO, DATA, sort, temp, and WORK space. | Calculating Space Requirements |
This section provides more details about using the Main Menu and some general information about AOS screens:
The database on which Basic Services is installed becomes the default database for Basic Services functions. However, you can specify the database of any active Adabas nucleus session. Subsequent Basic Services functions refer to that database until you specify another database or exit Basic Services.
If you specify a database that is also an Event Replicator Server, the main menu identifies the database as an Event Replicator Server by displaying "Replicator" in the upper left corner of the screen, as shown below. This is the only screen on which this identification explicitly occurs, but the Basic Services functions available and the information displayed for Event Replicator Server databases vary slightly from those provided regular Adabas databases.

Available PF keys and their functions are listed at the bottom of each Basic Services screen. The following program function (PF) keys may appear on Basic Services screens:
| Function Key | Description |
|---|---|
| PF1 | Get help |
| PF3 | Exit to previous screen |
| PF7 | Page backward through a series of screens. |
| PF8 | Page forward through a series of screens. |
| PF12 | Return to the Adabas Online System main menu |
You can invoke AOS Basic Service functions by selecting a menu option or, for most functions, by entering a command directly on the command line.
To invoke function using a menu option:
Enter the option code in the Code field.
Selecting a Main Menu function displays a menu of choices for that function.
Most Basic Services functions can be invoked using direct commands from the command line. The only exceptions are Adabas Online System security functions.
Each direct command corresponds to a function on a Basic Services menu. You can issue a direct command for a function on a different menu from the one currently displayed. You do not have to leave the current menu to perform a function that is not displayed.
More information about the direct commands is included in the Basic Services Direct Commands, where the direct command equivalent to each menu function is described.
Two direct commands that can be issued from any Basic
Services menu are ? and
help.
The option (you can also use PF1; see the section Program Functions Keys) displays a brief comment about the current menu.
help provides concise information about
the individual Basic Services functions.
Basic Services issues a message confirming each completed function. If an error occurs, a message appears containing a reference number and describing the error.
Try reviewing the Help information (option or PF1) for the last step you performed to see if any requirements were overlooked.
Retry the operation.
Response code 22 is returned if the Adabas session is terminated and restarted while Basic Services is active. In this case, AOS should be stopped and restarted.
The Adabas Online System (AOS) Demo version is a version of AOS with limited functionality, as described in this section. The items on each AOS menu that are not provided with the AOS Demo version have asterisks for their menu option codes. In general, you are only allowed to view information in the Demo version; to maintain parameters and settings, you must have the full version of AOS installed.
For example, on the following screen, the . as well as options are not available.
