## Online Services Main Menu

To invoke Adabas System Coordinator Online Services

- log on to SYSCOR and enter the command `MENU`.

During logon to SYSCOR, the application will determine its current run mode. Run mode can be any of the following:

Run Mode | Description
--- | ---
Coordinator not installed | The Adabas link module does not contain the Coordinator stub. Local session information will not be available but all other functions will work.
Local (node 0) | The TP system in use is running in local (non-daemon) mode. By default, session information will be obtained locally.
Daemon (node nnn) | The TP system in use is running with an Adabas System Coordinator daemon. The daemon Node ID is displayed. By default, session information will be obtained from the daemon. Dynamic transaction routing (DTR) is possible for clustered applications in TP systems defined to run in daemon mode.
Pulsing (node nnn) | The TP system in use has been configured to send session activity statistics to the daemon Node ID displayed. By default, session information will be obtained from the daemon and can be viewed from any other TP system by setting the perspective to the daemon Node ID displayed. DTR is not possible for TP systems defined to run in pulsing mode.
Startup | The Adabas link module contains the Coordinator stub, however the database containing the Coordinator configuration file is not yet available. The Coordinator periodically retries access to the configuration file until it becomes available.

The run mode will be displayed on an Environment Information screen at logon. This screen also shows information about the current Adabas System Coordinator daemon, if one is used. It is displayed before the main menu appears.

The Main Menu screen will then appear:

Note
From the Adabas System Coordinator main menu, you may switch to the online systems of Adabas Fastpath, Adabas Vista, Adabas SAF Security or Adabas Transaction Manager by pressing PF11. PF11 cycles in the sequence System Coordinator to Transaction Manager to Fastpath to Vista to SAF Security. You may also switch from any screen with a command line by entering the appropriate three-character code (for example, AVI for Adabas Vista) as a command. Cycling through the products using PF11 or switching directly using the product code will route you to the highest available version or the highest available Demo version ( if the product is not installed).

## Navigation

You can access screens in two ways:

- sequentially by selecting a menu service and entering it in the Code field; or

- directly by typing a numerical command on the command line.

For example, entering the command `1.1` on the command line directly accesses the Client Runtime Controls screen within the Maintenance function without first accessing the Maintenance menu.

System Settings | Menu | 0
| LFILE 152 Maintenance | 0.1
Maintenance | Menu | 1
| Client Runtime Controls | 1.1
| Daemon Groups | 1.2
Current Activity Displays | Menu | 2
| Display Adabas Client Jobs | 2.1
| Network Discovery | 2.2
| Display Daemons in a Daemon Group | 2.3
Special Services | Menu | 3
| Verify System Coordinator Client Installation | 3.1
| Verify System Coordinator Server Installation | 3.2
| Display Applied Fixes (Zaps) | 3.3
