Adabas and Adabas Review Version Compatibility

This version of Adabas Review is compatible with all supported versions of Adabas.

When using Adabas Review with Adabas for Mainframes Version 8.5 or above, Adabas Review works with a reduced record size. The command log extensions are categorized in three types of segments. Data will be sent only once (type 1), every minute (type 2) or all the time (type 3).

This method may be switched off with the INPUT statement parameter MODE=V51. When using Adabas Review with Adabas for Mainframes Version 8.4 or below, this feature is not available, and the old mode will be used automatically.

Adabas Review Online (SYSREVDB) and Adabas Review Processor Compatibility

Adabas Review Online (SYSREVDB) supports back-level versions of the Adabas Review Processor. However, the same version of SYSREVDB and the Adabas Review Processor is a prerequisite to use any new features provided in a version.
