This document gives an overview of the features of Adabas Analytics Version 2.1 that have been introduced or modified since the previous release (Version 2.0).
The document contains the following sections:
This section provides information which you should be aware of before you install and use Adabas Analytics Version 2.1.
Adabas Analytics supports the same operating systems and patforms as Adabas for Linux, UNIX and Windows 6.5.1.
Adabas is now installed using the Software AG installer. Please refer to the relevant installation documentation for further information.
You can now force a switch of the NUCELG file using the new ADAOPR function FEOF=ELOG.
The Adabas Analytics server, which is new with Version 2.1, helps to avoid bottlenecks when writing events to the NUCELG file, and is a first step towards near real-time monitoring. The Adabas Analytics server can be configured to support different targets - the Apama Correlator, or the new, third-party product Elasticsearch.
Note:
It is still possible to send NUCELG files to Apama using the Adabas
Analytics File Converter.
This version is delivered with the third-party products Elasticsearch and Kibana, which can be used to visualise data from the Adabas Analytics server in near real-time. An example Kibana dashboard is also provided.
Compared to the version provided with the Adabas Version 6.5.0 package, the new version of EALCONFIG has the following major differences:
New subtopics TARGET_EAL_SERVER and TARGET_NUCELG;
The items SWITCH_AFTER_EVENTS and SWITCH_AFTER_TIME are moved to TARGET_NUCELG;
The item TARGET_NUCELG is ignored if TARGET_EAL_SERVER exists;
The new event types NAT_INSERT, NAT_READ, NAT_UPDATE, NAT_DELETE, NAT_COMMIT, NAT_ROLLBACK, ADA_PERF and ADA_NAT_PERF are supported.
You can configure the database INI files for use with Adabas Analytics with the tool EALCONFIG. You can use the utility ADAELP to print events from an event log created by Adabas. Both of these components are part of the Adabas kit.
Adabas Analytics Version 2.0 no longer uses the Adabas replication exit; all of the functions required to trigger collection of event data to the NUCELG file are now part of the Adabas kernel Version 6.5 and above.
The Event File Converter is a program that sends a NUCELG file as a stream to an Apama correlator. Other targets are currently not supported.
This version provides an example Apama dashboard, which can be imported into the Eclipse-based Software AG Designer.
