This document describes the procedures for setting up and using Adabas Review after the installation has been completed.
It covers the following topics:
If this is the first time you have installed Adabas Review, or you have loaded a new Adabas Review repository file, Adabas Review will automatically initialize:
the user profile system for controlling user access to Adabas Review; and
the Adabas Review data file, which designates a DBID and SVC for the Adabas Review repository, and installs the supplied Adabas Review reports.
The following describes Adabas Review's basic processing steps and any input
you need to provide:
The first time you start SYSREVDB and enter MENU, Adabas Review will detect whether the profiling system has been installed.
If it has been installed and you have user profiles already defined, Adabas Review will use those.
If it has not been installed, Adabas Review will install it automatically. It installs two profiles: one profile named DEFAULT and a profile with the same name as the user ID of the user initializing the system (the user who entered MENU). Both profiles have administrator privileges.
Immediately after Adabas Review addresses the installation and initialization of the user profile system, the following message appears.
Default user profiles were installed. Press ENTER to continue.
Once you press ENTER, Adabas Review will automatically evaluate the Adabas Review user exits and RVCALL* programs on your current system.
If any Adabas Review user exits or RVCALL* programs are found in your environment, Adabas Review will recompile them so they work in the current release.
If they do not exist on your system, Adabas Review will install them automatically. While Adabas Review addresses the installation and initialization of the user exits, the following message appears:
Installing Sample User Exits
When user exit initialization is finished, Adabas Review will automatically detect if the repository is empty.
If it is not empty, Adabas Review immediately directs you to the main menu and you can get started using the product.
If it is empty, Adabas Review displays the Initialization Process screen and waits for your input. The remainder of the processing steps involve initializing the Adabas Review data file and installing the supplied Adabas Review reports.
Initialization Process Review has not yet been initialized. The following process will initialize the Review file and create sample reports and target definitions. You are about to save information into the REVIEW repository. The DBID/FNR of the REVIEW repository is currently set to: DBID: 221 FNR: 50 If this is correct enter 'YES' to continue, else press enter to cancel: ___ |
Confirm or cancel the initialization on this screen.
Confirm or cancel the initialization on the Initialization Process screen.
If the database ID (DBID) and file number (FNR) listed on this screen are correct for the Adabas Review repository, enter "YES" in the prompt to confirm the initialization.
To cancel the initialization, press ENTER (without "YES" specified).
If the initialization is confirmed, the Default Target Definition screen appears:
08:49:56 ***** R E V I E W ***** 2011-03-17 Main Menu HUB=12345 +------------------------------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------+ | Default Target Definition | | | | Please enter the appropriate SVC and Version | | for Adabas DBID 221: | | | | Adabas SVC ...... ___ | | Adabas Version .. ___ | | | | | +------------------------------------------------+ | | +------------------------------------------------+ Command: install db____________________________________________________________ Enter-PF1---PF2---PF3---PF4---PF5---PF6---PF7---PF8---PF9---PF10--PF11--PF12--- Help Exit Fin |
You are prompted to enter the Adabas SVC number and the Adabas version number of the database designated as the Adabas Review repository.
Type in the SVC and Adabas version number in the appropriate fields on the Default Target Definition screen and press ENTER. Based on the information you provide, Adabas Review creates the default target definition and displays a message.
The Initialization Process screen appears as shown in the following example:
