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 or records are defined in a subscription.

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 a subscription. 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 monitored files, at the transaction level.
