Configuration File

Adabas Vista and the other Adabas add-on products use an Adabas file known as the Configuration File for storing configuration information.

Each add-on product supplies a Natural application that is used to maintain the product’s configuration information in the Configuration File. Usually these applications are only installed and accessible by the DBA.

In most environments there will be a single Configuration File that is maintained centrally by the DBA. All machines running Adabas Vista will be configured to use the same Configuration File.

If you have not already set up a Configuration File you should do so before installing Adabas Vista.


Adabas Versions

There are problems with the use of the FDT HF option in some versions of Adabas 5.1. If you are using Adabas 5.1, you must use 5.1.4.2 or later.

Configuration File FDT

The FDT for the Configuration File should be defined as follows:

1, KK, 32, B, DE, NU, HF
1, DG, PE
2, DD, 64, B, NU, HF
