The following fields are provided:

Field | Description
--- | ---
Run-mode | The FASTABM/System Coordinator Node ID to which this job is connected or the following text that explains why the job is not currently connected. Excluded: Job parameter is not defined. No connection: Client is unable to connect to the ABM. ENQ-J failure: An identical job is already connected. No daemon: The local daemon is not active. ENQ-B failure: Buffer is unavailable (no buffer enq). Missing: A component is missing. Invalid: A component is bad. Error: A problem with the parameters. Disconnecting: The linker has stopped. Provided that the local job has at some point been connected to a buffer then its statistics for its current activity will be recorded. When the local job is connected to a buffer then its statistics for its current activity will be included in the Optimized Job Details. But if the local job loses its connection then its statistics for its current activity will be included in the Local Job Statistics accessed via the Special Services. If the local job regains its connection then it will resume recording its statistics for its current activity in the Optimized Job Details.
Code | Option code. The following options are available: `1`: display buffer information `2`: display database and file information `3`: display optimized job information `4`: display system job information
Perspective | The Node ID and Job Name for the buffer being displayed Note You can display buffer information for a different Node ID by entering the corresponding Node ID in this field. Note You can enter a Node ID and press Enter without selecting a code to check the validity of the node.
Status | Indicates whether or not the buffer is active and when it was last started.

The first section of this screen provides general information for the buffer. The following information is provided:

Field | Description
--- | ---
Name | The buffer name.
SVC | The Adabas SVC used for this buffer.
DB | The Adabas database for which this buffer is used to provide optimization.
Dataspace | The name of the dataspace when a dataspace cache is used.
Buffer Status | Indicates whether or not the buffer is currently active.
Started | The time at which the buffer was last started.
Ave Memory Val ... Session Number | These fields are reserved for Company internal use.

The next section provides the buffer statistics. The following information is provided:

Field | Description
--- | ---
Access Type | Attempts: the percentage of optimization attempts (optimization attempts divided by total number of commands). Successes: the percentage of successful optimization attempts (successful optimization attempts divided by number of optimization attempts).
Read-Ahead | Attempts: the number of read-ahead optimization attempts, and the attempt percentage (read-ahead optimization attempts divided by total number of commands). Successes: the number of successful read-ahead optimization attempts, and the percentage of successful attempts (successful read-ahead optimization attempts divided by read-ahead optimization attempts).
Direct | Attempts: the number of direct access optimization attempts, and the attempt percentage (direct access optimization attempts divided by total number of commands). Successes: the number of successful direct access optimization attempts, and the percentage of successful attempts (successful direct access optimization attempts divided by direct access optimization attempts).
RCs | Attempts: the number of RC commands that are eligible for optimization. These are RC commands that immediately follow an optimized direct-access command (without any intervening "next" commands). Successes: the number of successful RC optimization attempts. All of the attempts are always successful, but showing a success percentage of 100% gives no useful information; instead it is shown as a percentage of Direct Access attempts. This indicates the relative savings in the number of cursors maintained by Adabas. The higher this percentage, the fewer the number of cursors.
Excluded | Attempts: the number of commands which were excluded from optimization, and percentage (number of excluded commands divided by total number of commands). Note For more information on excluded attempts, use PF6.
Total | Attempts: the total number of commands encountered by Adabas Fastpath. Successes: the total number of successful optimization attempts, and the percentage of successful attempts (successful optimization attempts divided by total number of commands).

Pressing PF6 from any of the buffer information screens displays the Excluded Command Analysis screen:

          Help        Exit  Refr                                      Node  Menu

The following information is provided on this screen:

Field | Description
--- | ---
Buffer Session | The buffer session number.
Started | The time at which the buffer was last started.
Size | The memory allocation for the buffer.
C | Option code. The following options are available: `d`: display detailed database information `f`: display file summary information `s`: perform database service (stop/start optimization).
DB | The Adabas database.
SVC | The Adabas SVC.
Attempts | The total number of optimization attempts.
Optimized | The total number of successful optimization attempts.
Set Usage | The total amount of memory allocated for all the files defined for this database.
Status | The status of the database from the viewpoint of the Fastpath component running in System Coordinator daemon. The following are examples of the status that may be seen: "Optimizing" – commands to this database may be optimized. "Woken and waiting" – preparations are being made to allow commands to be optimized. "DB Down" - the database is inactive. "AFP (DB) Missing" - the Fastpath component in the database is missing. "Start requested" - a request to start optimizing commands is being processed. "Stop requested" - a request to stop optimizing commands is being processed. "Stopped" - a request to stop optimizing commands has been processed. "Bad Response" - there has been a communication failure. Optimization is stopped. Some of these statuses may be proceeded by an indication of the location or type of the database, such as: "Remote" - the database is on a different lpar to the COR daemon. "Clus" - the database is a clustered (ALS) instance. "Paral" - the database is a parallel (ASM) one.

### Database Services

If the option code `s` is selected for a database, the following window is displayed:

    13:11:00              2025-10-22
                           F12200MC

           Stop/Start Optimization
           for: Database 17003

             S Stop Optimization
             R Start Optimization
             . Exit

     Code..:

     Command ==>
           PF1 Help   PF3 Exit

Using this window, you can stop/restart optimization for a database.

If database optimization is stopped, no further optimization occurs for its files and sets. In addition, all direct access data is removed from the Adabas Fastpath buffer for sets belonging to files within this database.

Note
A similar service is available at the file and file set levels.

### Detailed Database Information

If the option code `d` is selected for a database, the Database Details screen is displayed.

This screen contains a performance analysis for the selected database.

The first section of this screen (Optimization Summary) provides optimization statistics for this database. This information is provided in the same format as that provided at the buffer level (see section Buffer Information). The statistics shown at the database level are exclusively for commands that are eligible for optimization. The excluded count therefore differs from the buffer level count.

The second section of this screen provides the following information:

Field | Description
--- | ---
Updates | The number of update commands processed for this database.
Over-reads | The number of read-aheads performed but not needed by the application, and the percentage of non-needed over-reads to the number of successful read-aheads. Non-needed over-reads represent overhead that may reduce the effectiveness of read-ahead optimization. In general, over-reads should not exceed 25% of read-ahead successes.
Status ... Nuc ID | These fields are reserved for Company internal use.

--- | ---
C | Option code. The following options are available: `d`: display detailed set information `f`: display full set list
CC De | The Adabas command/descriptor pair for which information is provided.
Sets | The number of sets that have been added together to make the summary.
Number of Items | The number of items (records) in use at the present time, the peak number of items used, and the number of times items in the set were used for optimization.
Memory | In use: The amount of memory productively being used by these sets. Each set may also have extra memory allocated to it for the purposes of set growth, so the sum of the "In use" memory for all the sets in a file will not be the same as the "Set usage (k)" from the summary file information screen. Peak: The HWM of all memory that has ever been allocated for use by these sets
Growth Mode | Fastpath regularly assesses the worthiness of all direct-access sets as being high, medium or low. Based upon this assessment Fastpath is likely to award more memory to sets assessed highly, when there is memory available, and to remove memory from the less worthy sets. The regular reassessment means the assessment of a set will quickly change according to current system activity thereby making sure the most appropriate optimization levels are maintained at all times.

### File Set List

If the option code `f` is selected for a command/descriptor pair on the File Set Summary screen, the Set Summary screen will be displayed.

This screen contains an activity summary for each direct access set used by the selected command/descriptor pair.
