Each Adabas Manager window is divided into two scrollable parts:
a tree-view on the left side of the screen
detail information (detail-view) on the right side of the screen
You can navigate in the tree-view as you would in any directory tree. When you highlight (click) an item in the tree, the detailed information about that entry is displayed in detail-view. To expand items under a high-level entry in the tree, click the plus sign (+) to the left of the high-level entry.
Adabas databases on mainframes and on open systems platforms of any supported version are visible in the same tree-view. By selecting in the tree-view, the number of databases of each type is displayed in the detail-view.
Important:
When Adabas Manager is started for
the the first time after installation, the system checks for the required
version of Adabas for Open Systems. If
Adabas for Open Systems has not been installed, the
associated Adabas Manager functionality is
automatically deactivated. Once Adabas for
Open Systems has been installed, this functionality must be reactivated
manually.
The databases in the view can be grouped by by platform or separate sections and sorted by ID or name.
To group or sort your Adabas databases:
Select the Adabas Manager item in the tree-view and expand it
Right-click on the drop-down menu and select .
In the detail-view panel, mark your preferences and click to save the grouping/sorting order or .
The tree-view is stored separately for each individual user.
Notes:
Once you have highlighted an item in the tree, context-specific commands are listed in the drop-down menu.
You can personalize your work area by adding views to or removing them from your System Management View.
To personalize your work area:
Right-click the item in the tree you want to add to the System Management View and select in the drop-down menu.

Click System Management View at the bottom of the tree-view area. The tree-view will collapse to show only the items you have added to your View.
To remove an item from your View, right-click it in your System Management View and select Remove from View.
The item is removed from the view.
Note:
To return to the general work area, click System

To refresh any item in the tree:
Select the item in the tree for which you want to view information and right-click it.

The information displayed in the detail-view is updated, i.e., you return to the main overview display of a function.
