Adabas Review provides a set of tools that allow you to monitor the performance of Adabas environments and the applications executing within them. Information retrieved about Adabas usage helps you tune application programs to achieve maximum performance with minimal resources.
The major Adabas Review features are listed below. Adabas Review:
Supports multiple Adabas nuclei clustered under a single database ID, either in a single operating system image (Adabas Parallel Services) or under z/OS and IBM parallel sysplex, across multiple operating system images (Adabas Cluster Services).
Can monitor several databases (DBIDs) and provide reports for each.
Can be configured in a straight-forward, uniform, and consistent way under all targeted operating system platforms in a client/server environment.
Collects, reports, and controls data centrally. The hub is a true data collection point unencumbered by dependencies on internal operations and structures of the Adabas nucleus.
Provides unencumbered Adabas operation. The hub reduces overhead by eliminating the Adabas Review subtask from the Adabas address space, partition, or region.
Allows you to customize command logging. Adabas Review can physically log selected commands or buffers based on parameters within the Adabas Review report definitions. Each command log corresponds to a particular report definition, and contains only those records that have been selected as meaningful for the end user.
Allows you to customize analysis tools. Adabas Review reports may be customized to perform functions such as cost accounting and application debugging.
Collects history data. Data collected for Adabas Review reports can be written to the Adabas Review repository at specified intervals and stored as history data. The data can be used in trend analysis.
