This document describes the functionality of Adabas Manager and introduces the functionality for administering Adabas Linux, UNIX and Windows (LUW) databases.
Adabas Manager allows users to interactively monitor and change aspects of Adabas databases running on one or multiple Linux, UNIX, and Windows (LUW) hosts.
With Database Manager, users can easily view resource status, display and modify space allocation, and change file and database parameters.
Some of the resource-related tasks that can be performed using Adabas Manager include:
View and update nucleus parameters;
Create new databases;
List available databases, start and stop databases;
List files in a database and display/administer containers;
List the file distribution of the database;
Display high-water marks and buffer pool statistics;
Display and stop users.
The success of a database environment depends on central control of database design, implementation, and use. This central control and coordination is the role of the database administrator (DBA).
Database operators may use Adabas Manager to start or stop a database, as well as stopping a user from using a database or a file.
Adabas Manager users need:
The administrative skill to set up and enforce the standards and procedures for using the database;
The technical ability to understand the factors governing hardware performance, with considerable knowledge both of the operating system software and the DBMS being used;
A thorough knowledge of existing and future applications; and
The skills to produce an efficient database design that meets the application requirements.
Users using Adabas Manager to monitor and change aspects of an Adabas database while an Adabas session is active should have in-depth understanding of the database operation and the service it provides to the organization.
