Performing Adabas Directory Server Administration

Adabas Directory Server administration tasks are largely performed using the System Management Hub.

Note:
Within SMH, two types of Directory Server administration are listed: Flat Files and Directory Servers. Software AG products do not use the Flat File maintenance option of the Directory Server administration. All administration tasks are performed using the Directory Servers maintenance option. For this reason, only the Directory Servers maintenance options are described in this guide.

Other sections describing Directory Server administration include:
