User settings Administrator Enter the name of the database administrator. The administrator name and password is assigned when you create an Adabas database. Apart from the administrator, two more users can access the Adabas database. Control User Enter the name of a user that you want to give limited control to modify some parameters of the database. Normally, the default settings for the name and the password of the control user are not changed. The control user does not affect the three-user limitation. Domain User Enter the name of the domain user that is used by Adabas internally. Normally, the default settings for the name and password of the domain user are not changed. The domain user does not affect the three-user limit. Password Enter a password. Database settings Drives containing parts of the Serverdb are called DEVSPACEs. To improve performance, store each DEVSPACE on separate drives. The file path for a DEVSPACE, including its file name, cannot exceed 40 characters. SYSDEVSPACE Enter the path for the system DEVSPACE. The SYSDEVSPACE manages the configuration data for the database. The size of the SYSDEVSPACE depends on the size of the database. TRANSACTIONLOG Enter the path for the transaction log file. This file records all modifications that are made to the database during a transaction, and overwrites them when the transaction is completed. The TRANSACTIONLOG is also used for the rollback of a transaction. DATADEVSPACE Enter the path for the data DEVSPACE. This file stores user data, such as tables and indexes, as well as the SQL catalog (schema info). The data contained in one user table is evenly distributed across all DATADEVSPACEs. The combined size of all DATADEVSPACEs corresponds to the size of the database. The maximum size for a DATADEVSPACE in the limited version Adabas database is 100MB. If the DATADEVSPACE reaches full capacity during a database operation, Adabas shuts down, increases the capacity of the DATADEVSPACE (up to 100 MB), and restarts the database. Saved data is not lost. ... Locate the directory where you want to save the file, and then click OK. Transaction file (MB) Enter the size of the transaction file in megabytes. Database size (MB) Enter the size of the database in megabytes here. The maximum size is 100 MB. Data buffer size (MB) Enter the size of the data cache in megabytes. The data buffer can be simultaneously accessed by all users and stores the most recently accessed pages from the DATADEVSPACEs.
