Bateleur Software has launched ADASIGHT, a comprehensive low overhead performance monitor and analysis system for ADABAS C on the server platforms for online environments.
Designed to run on most server platforms that support ADABAS v6.1 and Natural v6.2x, ADASIGHT is based on the standard Natural and ADABAS facilities provided by Software AG.
Currently, it runs under the Solaris 9/10 platform (RISC) but will be released for Windows Server 2003+, Linux i86, IBM AIX v5.3 p-Series and HP/UX 10/11 within a few months.
Benefits of ADASIGHT to the sysadmin and DBA include:
* Ability to monitor the ADABAS environment and diagnose poorly performing applications prior to the being released into production;
* Improved quality assurance due to the ability to monitor programmes during testing phase prior to production implementation;
* Online monitor allows for real-time monitoring with minimal overhead;
* Simple to install and implement; menu-driven means technical staff can be up to speed in a few hours; and
* Summary data allows reports from previous monitoring session to be analysed and reviewed at a later date for comparison purposes.
Commenting on the release, Bateleur Software's ADABAS specialist, Donald Abbot, said ADASIGHT's primary function is that of performance monitoring in that data is collected and stored in the internal ADABAS files for later retrieval and analysis.
He said the Natural application provides a number of standard reports, and enables this data to be exported to external applications such as spreadsheets, word processors or RDBMS for further analysis.
“Once installed, the ADASIGHT online application can be used to control the ADASIGHT environment, including whether to log any activity at all, enabling passive no impact mode of operation.
“Simply logging into the Natural application and turning data capture on enables the DBA or sysadmin to provide previously unavailable performance statistics and an additional level of diagnostic capabilities,” Abbot said.
