The location of a database must be specified by linking each database to an object of type Virtual Machine and each virtual machine to an object of type Network.

The current network will be taken as default for virtual machine objects if no network is specified.

See Defining the Distribution of Data in Predict in the section Adabas Vista in the Predict and Other Systems documentation for a description of how to define the distribution of data.

This document covers the following topics:

• Add a Network

• Network-Specific Maintenance

For general information on how to manage objects (for example, how to add or copy an object), see the Object Description documentation.

Add a Network

The parameters are described under Global Attributes.

Network-Specific Maintenance

Standard maintenance functions are used for maintaining networks. These are described in the section Maintenance in the Predict Reference documentation.

The special rules applying to function Purge Network are described below.

Purge Network

Predict objects of type Network are purged with the Delete command.

The following rules apply:

• A network that is linked to a virtual machine via "Uses VM" cannot be deleted.

• The network defined as current network in the General defaults cannot be deleted.
