New Features

This section provides an overview of new features for Data Archiving for Adabas Version 1.6.1.


Search Tag Support for Extraction Syntax

Search tag support, previously only available for Actions using the User Generated Archive/Transfer Lists (To-Do Lists) method of data selection, is now available for Actions using the Extraction Syntax data selection method.

When an Action using Extraction Syntax is run, values corresponding to specified search tags are stored along with the business object at the time the selected data is written to the Archive file in the Vault.

Subsequently, these tag values can be specified on a Search query in order to find those business objects to which that tag value applies.

For information on the Extraction Syntax scripting language and the use of search tags refer to the ADRExtractionSyntaxReference.pdf document located in the product's sdk/doc directory.

Refer to Search Archived Data in the Data Archiving for Adabas Web Interface documentation for more information on searching archived data.

Date Support for Extraction Syntax

The Extraction Syntax now provides a TODAY() function. This allows Actions to make date-based selections by comparing date-time fields with values relative to the current day.

For information on the Extraction Syntax scripting language and the use of the TODAY() function refer to the ADRExtractionSyntaxReference.pdf document located in the product's sdk/doc directory.

Searching Multiple Archives

It is now possible to search across multiple Archives either by individual selection or by filtering based on a Group, Plan and Action.

Refer to Search Archived Data in the Data Archiving for Adabas Web Interface documentation for more information.

Searching Multiple Vaults

It is now possible to search across multiple Vaults.

Refer to Search Archived Data in the Data Archiving for Adabas Web Interface documentation for more information.

Record Locking

It is now possible to configure an Action to place shared locks on the set of records relating to a particular Object when they are selected for processing. This ensures transactional consistency at the Object level if the Action is run against active data.

Refer to Adding an Action in the Data Archiving for Adabas Web Interface documentation for more information.
