The ADARUN control statement defines and starts the Adabas operating environment. The ADARUN control statement also starts Adabas utilities.

ADARUN:

• loads the ADAIOR module, which performs database I/O and other functions that depend on the operating system;

• interprets the ADARUN parameter statements, then loads and modifies the appropriate Adabas nucleus or utility modules according to the ADARUN parameter settings; and

• transfers control to Adabas.

The ADARUN statement, normally a series of entries each specifying one or more ADARUN parameter settings, is specified in the DDCARD ( z/OS or BS2000) or z/VSE SYSRDR or CARD data set. For more specific job information, refer to the appropriate location in this documentation.

Note:
The ADARUN parameters described in this document apply to the standard Adabas configuration and to Adabas cluster configurations. Other ADARUN parameters must also be specified for such features as: Adabas Caching Facility, Adabas Delta Save Facility Facility, Adabas Transaction Manager. Refer to the related documentation for more information about the ADARUN parameters that may be required.
