Displaying archive information

Overview

The Adabas Audit Data Retrieval ISPF application offers several ways of accessing the display of information on archive datasets and archive volumes.

Archive datasets

The Archive Dataset table and the Archive Dataset Information panel display information on archive datasets.

For a description of the displayed information, see "Archive Dataset Information panel".

Navigation

You can access this information directly using Option A.2 (DATASETS).

Alternatively, you can also access the "Display Archive Datasets" table and the "Display Archive Dataset Information" panel these ways:

  • Via option A.3 (VOLUMES):
    • Enter the line command A in front of a volume to display the archive datasets on this volume.
  • Via option 4.4 (DEVICES):
    1. Enter the line command V in front of a device to display the archive volumes of this device.
    2. Enter the line command A in front of a volume to display the archive datasets on this volume.

Lists archived in archive dataset

You can use the line command L (archived lists) in front of an archive dataset to display the lists archived in this dataset.

For more information, see "Lists contained in archive dataset".

Archive dataset group

All archive datasets created for one archive pool during one archive run are marked internally with the same unique token. You can use the line command A (Archive dataset group) in front of a dataset to display all datasets having the same token.

For more information, see "Archive Dataset Group table".

Archive volumes

You can use option A.3 (VOLUMES) to display active archive volumes that are available for future archive runs. For a description of the displayed information, see "Archive Volume Information panel".

You can use option A.4 (DEVICES) to display archive volumes that have been assigned to a given device. You can do this by displaying the "Display Archive Device Definitions" table and then entering the line command V in front of a device. For a description of the displayed information, see "Archive volumes of a device".

Under option A.2 (DATASETS) you can specify the archive volume as a selection criterion. The "Display Archive Dataset Information" panel will display on which volume the archive dataset is stored.
