New and Modified Features in Version 9.0


Adabas Auditing Administration

Adabas Manager Version 9.0 supports Adabas Auditing Administration. It provides you with the information of the currently running Adabas Auditing environment.

Adabas Mainframe

Adabas Manager version 9.0 supports retrieving databases on mainframe registered on the SoftwareAG Directory Server (ADI), which is connected by the Adabas Manager Communicator (AMC).

Adabas Manager Runtime Service

This runtime service running at port 4990 takes over the role of the previous SoftwareAG Runtime Service (commonly on port: 8083) to render Adabas Manager web pages. The Adabas Manager Runtime Service also acts as a proxy server to issue API calls to various REST servers, for example, Adabas REST Administration Server, Adabas Manager Communicator (AMC) and Adabas Auditing. With this runtime service, users only need to open port 4990 of the firewall between Adabas Manager client and various remote REST servers.

Adabas Manager is by default running at HTTPS port.

New host configuration file

The backgound:

In Adabas Manager 850, or short AMN850, a user can have 2 configuration files (adaRest and netHost) for host connections to Adabas REST and AMC respectively. Since AMN860, 1 user will only have 1 configuration file by combining different host connections (Adabas REST, AMC and Adabas Audit Server) into 1 file.

From AMN850 to AMN860, the host configuration file consolidation is done behind the scene for the users.

From AMN850 to AMN900, there is a script (migrate_host.bat or migrate_host.sh) located in the /AdabasManager/bin directory, that executes to migration of all adaHost_<userid>.config and netHost_<userid>.config to the new file host_<userid>.config.

To migrate host configuration files from AMN850 to AMN900, copy or move the configuration files from AMN850 to the directory <AMN900_Installed_directory>/AdabasManager/config before executing the script (migrate_host.bat or migrate_host.sh).

Note:
We highly recommend to migrate the AMN850 configuration files to AMN900 single file format before logging to AMN900 for the very first time. Otherwise, AMN900 will create a default host configuration file (host_<userid>.config) if the migrated file is not found.
