Supplied Evaluation Profiles

This section summarizes the Evaluation Profiles which are supplied by Software AG as part of the ASF product. Note that if your ASF Profile file was originally loaded with ASF version 7 or before, you may not have all profiles listed below. The profiles delivered with earlier version do not reflect new ASF fields (e.g. AC2 fields). Additionally they do not make use of dynamic database lists, i.e. they specify the sample databases explicitly so that they must be modified before they can used for other environments.

Some Critical Reports reflect Adabas version 7 limits as the maximum of five extents. For Adabas version 8 this limit can be increased or the FREE EXTENTS field can be used for the limit definition.

This document covers the following topics:
