Virtual Machine

Since data can be distributed across several databases, the exact location of data storage has to be specified: databases are linked to objects of type Virtual Machine and virtual machines are linked to objects of type Network.

The Predict object virtual machine identifies the hardware and operating system environment of a database.

See the section Adabas Vista in the Predict and Other Systems documentation for a complete description of how to define distributed data structures with Predict.

Note:
Links between networks, virtual machines and databases are established with the parameters "Belongs to NW" and "Belongs to VM", and not with active/passive associations.

This document covers the following topics:

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