Adabas Manager


Introduction

Adabas Manager (AMN) is a web-based interface allowing the administrator to display and modify various information about a Net-work session. Information that can be viewed includes:

  • Node parameters

  • Driver and link parameters

  • Various statistics

  • Database targets

  • Links and their status

  • Other topology information such as nodes and paths

Adabas Manager also provides the ability to:

  • Modify node, driver, and link parameters. Some parameters have restrictions on how or when they can be modified.

  • Connect/disconnect links

  • Open/close drivers

  • Terminate the session

Refer also to the Adabas Manager documentation and Adabas Directory Server Administration for further information.

Enabling Adabas Manager support

Communication with Adabas Manager is handled by the TCPX driver, which is delivered in the Net-work TCP/IP option (WTC). See also Entire Net-Work TCP/IP Option Administration for further information.

Installation steps:

  1. Add the TCPX driver to the session startup parameters. See TCPX Driver Statement for further information.

  2. Identify the host name and port of the Adabas Directory Server (ADI) that Adabas Manager utilizes. Specify these TCPX driver parameters:

    ADI=Y Enables Directory Server support.
    ADIHOST Set to the host name where the Adabas Directory Server resides.
    ADIPORT Set to the port number of the Adabas Directory Server. These enable the Net-work session to register itself with the directory server, allowing Adabas Manager to discover it.
  3. Optionally, add a link statement directed to the Adabas Manager Communicator (AMC) host. This is necessary only if the TCPX driver parameter ACCEPTUI is set to N; the default is Y. If you add this link, set the following parameters; others generally need not be specified:

    ACQUIRE= N
    ADJHOST or INETADDR or V6IPADDR set one of these to the host where AMC resides.
    PSTATS= N
    RESTART= (0,0)
    RSTATS= N
  4. Set the node parameter ENDCMD to Y if you want to allow the session to be terminated from Adabas Manager. If ENDCMD is set to N, which is the default, requests from Adabas Manager to terminate the session will be rejected.

Processing

Adabas Manager passes requests to the Adabas Manager Communicator (AMC), which in turn sends the request to the Net-work node.

Many of the requests from Adabas Manager are handled through Net-work's internal operator command interface.

Requests from Adabas Manager are shown via the NET0346 message. Additional messages may be issued indicating the success or failure of the command.
