Adabas config files with Json or yaml formats

We are asking that ADABAS.INI and DBnnn.INI will support Json or yaml formats as well. In our site, DevOps expert employees are creating new servers and new databases by themselves. They are not Adabas DBAs. For them, json and yaml are much more s...

ADAFRM should override DB definitions in ADABAS.INI

If DBID nnn already exists in ADABAS.INI, and ADAFRM is creating the same DBID nnn, ADAFRM should override the parameters defined for this database in ADABAS.INI. For example the database name.

AND, OR, XOR for binary fields

It is currently not possible to do any "binary" operation on binary fields, like AND, OR, XOR or NOT. This makes declarations of particular bit-constants quasi useless, e.g. ... 3 #TB_VDT_FLAG (B01) /* various property flags...1 #TB_VDT_FLAG_VALUE...

New Parameter for ZIIP switching

When our Batch Natural for Ziip JOBS do a lot of I/Os the switching that happens even when using the I/O buffer causes the elapsed time to increase & greatly affects the batch window, which is unacceptable. I propose a new parameter to allevia...

Enable creation of SQL indexes based on ADABAS descriptors

An enhancement suggestion is to have a configuration switch for CONNX to ‘recognize’ ADABAS descriptors and tag those as SQL indexes -- so when we deploy into SQL Server .. descriptors will have indexes in SQL. Provides greater flexibility, better...

ADAMUP to read mainframe unload dataset.

Allow ADAMUP to read a mainframe load dataset - saving the time to decompress and compress. The FDT of the load dataset should be compared to the DB FDT before start. For rehostings - this would shorten the time needed for go-live and reduce MF pr...
