Enhancements

This document describes the Event Replicator for Adabas enhancements.


Console Message when Turning Replication ON/OFF for a File

New messages are displayed on the console and the nucleus job log when replication is turned on or off for a file. Replication may be turned on or off for a file with ADADBS REPLICATION or SYSAOS (see documentation of Adabas Online System 8.6.1., section User's Guide > Maintaining Files > Modifying File Parameters.

When replication is turned on for a file, the message, 'ADAFNH XXXXX Replication turned on for file <file>', is written to the console and the nucleus job log. The 'XXXXX' is replaced by the database ID.

Similarly, when replication is turned off for the file, the message, 'ADAFNI XXXXX Replication turned off for file <file>', is written to the console and the nucleus job. The 'XXXXX' is replaced by the database ID.

Filtering PLOG Information

The Replication Replay - PLOG List screen now features a new DBid column. You can also filter the displayed information using PF5. To clear the filter, press PF6. For more information, see Listing the PLOG Data Sets in Using the Adabas Event Replicator Subsystem.

New Programs for Changing the Status of Destinations and Subscriptions

Event Replicator for Adabas now offers two new programs, which can change the status of multiple destinations or subscriptions. You can find the new programs REPTCHGD and REPTCHGS in the SYSAOS library and you can execute them as Natural batch programs or as standalone online programs.

REPTCHGD allows multiple Destination names to be set to either Opened or Closed, or set to Active or Inactive in a single execution using wildcard name specifications. REPTCHGS allows multiple Subscription names to be set to Active or Inactive using wildcard name specifications. For more information on the two programs, see Changing the Status of Destinations and Subscriptions in Administration and Operations.
