Which activities are necessary for the operation and administration of ADABAS?
For the operation of the database, the tool CONTROL is provided. Installation, configuration, database (re)start and shutdown, backup and recovery, all the functions of database operation, can be executed via CONTROL. Three main parameters have to be controlled while operating an ADABAS database: the usage level of the database, the usage level of the log, and the number of concurrent database sessions. An operation for tablespaces (overflow, internal fragmentation) is not required in ADABAS.
For database administration, the Windows-based tool DOMAIN is available. This tool can be used to display, create, and maintain all the database objects. DOMAIN also keeps usage records for the database objects.
