The Event Replicator for Adabas is an essential tool for organizations that need Adabas data modifications delivered to a target application while minimally impacting the normal processing of Adabas. The principle features of the Event Replicator for Adabas include:

• Near real-time replication

• Asynchronous replication

• Guaranteed consistency and sequence of the delivered replicated data

• Replication of committed updates only

With the Event Replicator for Adabas, whole Adabas files or a specific set of records can be replicated to the target location, as defined in one or more subscriptions. Data replication is asynchronous, which allows the Adabas database to operate normally while replication takes place. Only committed Adabas modifications are replicated for the predefined set of replicated files, at the transaction level.

You can use Event Replicator for Adabas to:

• Provide real-time backups of your Adabas data. You can then guarantee data recoverability for your organization and the continuity of your business operations if a disaster should occur.

• Provide real-time information synchronization across multiple systems of data. For example, you might use the Event Replicator and its Event Replicator Target Adapter to provide real-time data from your mainframe Adabas database to a relational database, such as such as DB2, MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, Sybase, or Teradata, where it can be used by other applications in your environment.

• Keep your data warehouses updated with current, real-time, data from your Adabas database, without impacting your production systems. This improves the productivity and effectivity of your business analysts by providing them with ready access to the most current data.

• Reduce your mainframe usage by replicating your real-time Adabas data to Adabas on open systems.
