Adabas Manager Security

This enhancement supports the SAF Security interface for the administration of Net-Work nodes and Adabas databases.

Performance Enhancements

Performance enhancements to both the mainline and drivers include:

  • Eliminate “Store Into Instruction Stream” (SIIS) conditions

  • Use enhanced instructions to increment statistics

  • Do not obtain/release local lock for POST

Bug Fixes

All prior fixes have been included in this release.

FCTC driver changes

The default values of the RCVBLKCT and SNDBLKCT parameters have been changed from 20 to 4 to match the documentation.

The default values of the RCVBLKSZ and SNDBLKSZ parameters have been changed from 16384 to 8192 to match the documentation.

TCPX driver enhancements

  • Performance improvements for direct client connections

    Connections from direct clients (via Entire Net-Work client or TCP/IP enabled ADALNK) have been optimized. These enhancements minimize the movement of data and largely eliminate the need to allocate storage from the buffer pool manager.

  • New parameters OUTBUFSZ and RCVBUFSZ

    These parameters allow the user to specify the size of the receive buffer and, for direct clients, the pre-allocated output buffer. Setting the sizes of these buffers appropriately minimizes the need to allocate separate buffers and copy the data to them. See OUTBUFSZ Parameter and RCVBUFSZ Parameter for more information.

XCF driver enhancements

  • New SENDMULT parameter

    SENDMULT=Y allows the driver to send multiple messages in the same operation. This can improve performance when multiple client applications are active on the same link. See SENDMULT Parameter for more information.

Entire Net-Work Light enhancements

  • New COMM parameter

    COMM=YES/NO allows the user to determine whether a Net-Work Light node initializes as a Communicator. See COMM Parameter for more information.
