To install Adabas Review under Natural, complete the following steps:
Step 5. Modify the Natural Startup Jobs to include DDLIB Link
Step 6. Define Adabas Review to Natural Security, if applicable
(JOB 1061, step 2600)
Note:
The entire Adabas Review application is stored in the SYSREVDB
library. User profiles are stored in the SYSREVDU library.
INPL the Adabas Review programs and DDMs from the REVvrs.INPL file and subsequently from the REVvrs.ISnn or REVvrs.IUPD files, if supplied, to your Natural system file.
You can use any of your site-dependent Natural INPL JCL.
The Natural programs are copied into the SYSREVDB library in your FNAT file.
Note:
If you want to use Adabas Review together with Predict, your DDMs
should be stored in a valid FDIC system file. For detailed information please
refer to the relevant sections concerning DDMs in the
Predict documentation and the Natural
documentation.
(Job I060 batch; Job I080 online)
To modify the Natural parameter file, complete the following
steps:
Include the minimum following parameter settings in the Natural parameter module that will be used when accessing Adabas Review:
CSTATIC=(...,ADATMZ,...) LS=250 PS=80 MADIO=5000 MAXCL=0 ESIZE=64 NTWORK(7),AM=PC
NTWORK is a Natural macro used to define the work file(s) to be used; AM is the access method. For more information, see the Natural documentation.
Include the following parameter in all your installation Natural parameter modules: (If this is not done, no data relating to Natural will be reported on.)
ADAPRM=ON
Add a Natural NTLFILE definition for the physical database ID and file number of the Adabas Review repository file as follows:
NTLFILE 241,dbid,fnr
Replace dbid and fnr with the database ID and file number, respectively, of the Adabas Review repository.
Note:
The Adabas Review repository may not reside on a database with a
database ID (DBID) of 255. If the database ID is 255, Adabas Review cannot be accessed
in local or hub mode. However, a database with a DBID of 255 can send data to a
hub.
Reassemble and link the NATPARM module to your Natural nucleus.
Set the Natural front-end module, NATFRONT, with the macro element:
ADACOM=ADABAS
Remove the binding of ADALNK and SSFB2C from the Natural nucleus.
Add the elements ADAUSER and TMZLOD to the Natural nucleus with the binder:
// INCLUDE-MODULES ELEMENT = (ADAUSER,TMZLOD), - // LIBRARY = $SAG.ADAvrs.MOD
or with TSOSLNK:
INCLUDE ADAUSER,$SAG,ADAvrs.LOD INCLUDE TMZLOD,$SAG,ADAvrs.LOD
To load the necessary Adabas modules, the DDLIB link name needs to be set to the Adabas module library as follows:
/SET-FILE-LINK DDLIB,$SAG.ADAvrs.MOD
If Natural Security is installed, complete the following
steps:
Define the SYSREVDB library for the Adabas Review system and the SYSREVDU library for the Adabas Review user profiles to Natural Security. Verify that the LIST command is allowed in the SYSREVDU library and that the READ command is allowed for the SYSREVDB library.
Note:
If the Adabas Review application SYSREVDB is made
private (i.e., the parameter People-protected=Y is specified), each user of
Adabas Review must be linked to the SYSREVDB application.
Define Adabas Review Files to Natural Security as public DDMs:
REVIEW-ADABAS-CLOG REVIEW-FNAT REVIEW-ADABAS-SYSTEM
Note:
AOSASM is delivered in the Adabas load library. If Adabas
Online Services (AOS) are installed, AOSASM is already available.
To make AOSASM available to the Natural nucleus
Link the module AOSASM to the (shared) Natural nucleus.
(JOB I050, step 2600)
This procedure applies to both local and hub mode installations.
The Adabas Review repository is a system file used for storing user profiles and descriptions of interactive reports, target definitions, and for saving historical data accumulated by Adabas Review reports. Any file may be used to contain the Adabas Review repository. The corresponding file number should also be reflected in the NATPARMs used to invoke Adabas Review.
Hub mode only: The Adabas Review repository can be created on any database accessible to Natural. It does not need to be on a database that is monitored by the Adabas Review hub.
This section includes the following substeps:
Important:
Users loading a new Adabas Review repository should run
Steps 1 and 2 only and omit Step 3. Users converting the Adabas Review
repository from a previous release should omit Steps 1 and 2 and run Step 3
only.
Before submitting the job REVLOAD provided in the Adabas Review jobs library, change:
the DBID=dbid parameter in the two ADARUN statements to reflect the DBID number of the database that will contain this file;
Note:
The Adabas Review repository may not reside on a database
with a database ID (DBID) of 255. If the database ID is 255, Adabas Review
cannot be accessed in local or hub mode. However, a database with a DBID of 255
can send data to a hub.
the ADALOD LOAD FILE=fnr statement to reflect the number of the file that will contain the Adabas Review file.
Load the Adabas Review repository file using the job REVLOAD modified in step 1.
If you used the same repository file for a version of Adabas Review older than this release, Adabas Review requires that you convert your repository file and history data prior to running any new reports in this release of Adabas Review. For complete information on doing this, read Migration from Previous Versions .
To install Adabas Review under Adabas, complete the following steps:
Modify your existing Adabas ADARUN parameters to include the following (these ADARUN cards are generated by SMA):
ADARUN REVIEW=LOCAL
The Adabas Review hub ID value is set using the ADARUN parameter REVIEW.
ADARUN REVIEW=hubid ADARUN UEX5=user-exit
where hubid is the Adabas Review hub ID (version 4.2 and above support two-byte DBIDs) and UEX5 is optional as described in REVUEX5: Adabas Review Hub Event Handler (Adabas Exit 5).
Notes:
Note:
This step is not supported by the automated SMA
installation.
The AUTO-START generator job is started automatically by Adabas Review when:
the target definition for the relevant database changes;
the AUTOSTART option in an existing report definition changes;
a new report is defined with the option AUTOSTART=Y;
the GENAUTO or GA command is entered by the user; or
the GENCARD or GC command is entered by the user.
Note:
The AUTO-START generate process is a BS2000 subtask. This is a
spawned task on BS2000. The output for this task is found in the files
L.O.tttt.RAOSAUTO.hex_timestamp
where:
| tttt | is the task number of the Adabas Review nucleus or hub; |
| hex_timestamp | is the STCK value of the clock in hex when the subtask was spawned. |
This section covers the following topics:
The base P.GENERATE job is located in the REVvrs.SRC data set (file) and should be modified appropriately for your site.
Each database running with Adabas Review and the hub needs a set of files and jobs for itself. P.GENERATE generates the files described in the rest of this section to satisfy this need.

|
Note: |
||||||
Adabas Review report definitions specify whether the data accumulated by the report is also written to the Adabas Review repository. The reports can then be viewed again or combined with previous occurrences of the same report to produce a combined summary report.
Because Adabas Review cannot write to the Adabas Review repository directly when running in local mode, it writes an intermediate history file either at intervals or at Adabas termination. At the next Adabas startup, Adabas Review reads the file with the link name RVUALT and populates its system file with history data.
Note:
The Adabas Review history file population process is a BS2000
subtask. This is a spawned task on BS2000. The output for this task is found in
the files L.O.tttt.RAOSHIST.hex_timestamp
where
| tttt | is the task number of the Adabas Review nucleus or hub; |
| hex_timestamp | is the STCK value of the clock in hex when the subtask was spawned. |
This section describes how to modify the Adabas local mode startup JCL and the hub mode client interface JCL.
An example Adabas Review local mode startup job is provided in REVvrs.SRC(LOCAL).
Note:
The example job LOCAL in the
REVvrs.SRC library on BS2000 does not set the DBID
parameter because we believe that setting a default DBID in this job might lead
to problems in the setup of the environment. Instead, the DBID should be
specified in the Natural area of Adabas Review for the default DBID in the user
profile, or the Natural LFILE=(241,...) parameter. And for the Adabas Review hub
database, the REVIEW parameter should set the hub DBID (or if is LOCAL, then it
is its own DBID).
Modify the Adabas startup JCL as follows (these modifications
are generated by SMA):
Add the following step after the nucleus has been terminated to copy the RVUALT file to a backup file that is read by RAOSHIST:
/SET-JOB-STEP /CALL-PROC REVIEW.P.COPYALT.db
where REVIEW.P.COPYALT.db was generated by P.GENERATE above.
Add the FILE/LINK statements required for Adabas Review. Use the file REVIEW.COPY.db that was generated by P.GENERATE above.
If for some reason you do not want to use the generated file, you can add the following cards to the deck instead:
/SET-FILE-LINK RVUALT,DB099.REVIEW.RVUALT /SET-FILE-LINK RVUAUT1,DB099.REVIEW.RVUAUT1 /SET-FILE-LINK RVUAUT2,DB099.REVIEW.RVUAUT2 /SET-FILE-LINK RVUPARM,*DUMMY /SET-FILE-LINK RVLOG01,DB099.REVIEW.RVLOG01 /SET-FILE-LINK RVLOG02,DB099.REVIEW.RVLOG02 /SET-FILE-LINK RVSUM01,DB099.REVIEW.RVSUM01 /SET-FILE-LINK RVSUM02,DB099.REVIEW.RVSUM02 /SET-FILE-LINK RVUFLD,DB099.REVIEW.RVUFLD /SET-FILE-LINK RVUPRT00,DB099.REVIEW.RVUPRT00 /SET-FILE-LINK RVUPRT01,DB099.REVIEW.RVUPRT01 /SET-FILE-LINK RVUPRT02,DB099.REVIEW.RVUPRT02 /SET-FILE-LINK RVUPRT03,DB099.REVIEW.RVUPRT03 /SET-FILE-LINK RVUPRT04,DB099.REVIEW.RVUPRT04 /SET-FILE-LINK RVUPRT05,DB099.REVIEW.RVUPRT05 /SET-FILE-LINK RVUPRT06,DB099.REVIEW.RVUPRT06 /SET-FILE-LINK RVUPRT07,DB099.REVIEW.RVUPRT07 /SET-FILE-LINK RVUPRT08,DB099.REVIEW.RVUPRT08 /SET-FILE-LINK RVUPRT09,DB099.REVIEW.RVUPRT09 /SET-FILE-LINK RVUEXP,DB099.REVIEW.RVUEXP /SET-FILE-LINK RVUEXI,DB099.REVIEW.RVUEXI /SET-FILE-LINK RVUCARD,DB099.REVIEW.RVUCARD
Notes:
Set up a sequential file with the following contents:
ADALNK IDTNAME=idtname
where idtname is an 8-character IDT name where the Adabas Review is running, the same as in the ADARUN cards. The file must be a permanent file because it supplies routing and buffer information to the subtask.
Then set the following link card in the nucleus startup job:
/SET-FILE-LINK DDLNKPAR,ddlnkpar_file_name
where ddlnkpar_file_name is the file name of the permanent sequential file above.
Ensure that the REVvrs.MOD library is accessible from the executed ADARUN job by declaring the following BLSLIB card:
/START-PROGRAM (Adabas.MOD,ADARUN),RUN-MODE=ADV (ALT-LIB=YES)
Ensure that Adabas can access the Adabas Review default link name and alternative libraries as declared by BLSLIB above by including the following statement:
/SET-FILE-LINK DDLIB,ADAvrs.MOD /SET-FILE-LINK REVLIB,REVvrs.MOD /SET-FILE-LINK BLSLIB00,REVvrs.MOD /SET-FILE-LINK BLSLIB01,ADAvrs.MOD
Repeat the following four substeps for each database to be monitored.
To modify the Adabas startup JCL for the hub mode client
interface:
Use the following BLSLIB structure:
/SET-FILE-LINK DDLIB,Adabas.MOD /SET-FILE-LINK REVLIB,REVvrs.MOD /SET-FILE-LINK BLSLIB00,REVvrs.MOD /SET-FILE-LINK BLSLIB01,ADAvrs.MOD
Add a DDLOG or DDCLOGR1/DDCLOGR2 file.
This DDLOG FILE card must point to a physical output file and must not be coded as DUMMY and not be allocated as a temporary file.
Note:
If Adabas command logging (single or dual) is already
being used, this portion of this step can be omitted.
Use the following to ensure that Adabas can access alternative libraries as declared by BLSLIB above:
START-PROGRAM (Adabas.MOD,ADARUN),RUN-MODE=ADV (ALT-LIB=YES)
Restart Adabas.
Apply all the released Adabas Review zaps to the Adabas Review module library.
Complete the steps in this section to install the Adabas Review hub.
An example Adabas Review hub mode startup job is provided in REVvrs.SRC(HUBJCL).
Note:
The example job HUBJCL in the
REVvrs.SRC library on BS2000 does not set the DBID
parameter because we believe that setting a default DBID in this job might lead
to problems in the setup of the environment. Instead, the REVIEW parameter
should set the hub DBID for the hub database (or if is LOCAL, then it is its
own DBID).
Modify the Adabas startup JCL as follows (these modifications
are generated by SMA):
Correct any library names or file names.
Modify the ADARUN parameter REVIEW to reflect the target DBID you will use for the Adabas Review hub.
Specify the ADARUN parameter IDTNAME, if necessary. This value must be the same as that used by the sending Adabas nuclei.
The ADARUN parameters supplied in the sample JCL member HUBJCL are the only ones recognized for setting up the hub nucleus. For more information about these ADARUN parameters, read ADARUN Parameters.
Software AG recommends that you set the dispatching priority of the Adabas Review hub higher than that used by the sending Adabas nuclei.
Set up a sequential file with the following contents:
ADALNK IDTNAME=idtname
where idtname is an 8-character IDT name where the Adabas Review is running, the same as in the ADARUN cards. The file must be a permanent file because it supplies routing and buffer information to the subtask.
Then set the following link card in the nucleus startup job
/SET-FILE-LINK DDLNKPAR,ddlnkpar_file_name
where ddlnkpar_file_name is the file name of the permanent sequential file above
See the section Starting Adabas Review.
