Network

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.

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