The data integrity block (DIB) comprises entries for each Adabas utility currently operating, describing the resources each utility is using.
You can review the DIB of an Adabas mainframe database as follows:
To review the DIB of an Adabas
database:
Select an Adabas database in tree-view.
Right-click the database name in tree-view.
Select on the drop-down menu.
The DIB information appears in detail-view. It includes the following information about the Adabas database:
the name of the service
the name of the job
the date and time the job was started
the type of job
the number of locked files in the database
An Adabas utility removes its entry from the DIB when it terminates normally. If a utility terminates abnormally (for example, the job is cancelled by the operator), the files used by that utility remain "in use". Any such files may be released with the Reset DIB function.
