Concepts and Facilities

Software AG's Event Replicator for Adabas allows specific Adabas files to be monitored for data modifications. Whenever any record modification (delete, store, or update) occurs in one of the monitored files, the Event Replicator for Adabas extracts each modified record and delivers it to one or more target applications through a messaging system (such as webMethods EntireX or IBM WebSphere MQ). The set of replicated files are defined in one or more subscriptions.

Note:
The term MQSeries is sometimes used in this documentation when referring to the product now known as WebSphere MQ.
