Adabas Statistics Facility

The Adabas Statistics Facility architecture is centered around two primary components: the Store Program and the reporting programs. The Store Program is responsible for collecting detailed performance metrics from the Adabas database. This program gathers data on various aspects of database activity, including I/O operations, CPU utilization, and response times.

The collected data is stored in a format suitable for analysis and reporting. The reporting programs then process this data to generate a variety of performance reports. These reports provide insights into database performance, resource consumption, and potential bottlenecks.

The communication between the Store Program and the reporting programs is typically handled through shared storage or a dedicated data repository. The Store Program writes the collected data to a storage mechanism, and the reporting programs read this data for analysis. The storage mechanism may vary depending on the implementation, but it is designed to efficiently store and retrieve performance data.

Configuration files are used to define data collection parameters, report generation options, and other settings. The facility is deployed as part of the Adabas environment, with access typically managed through user authentication and authorization mechanisms. The facility supports various authentication methods, such as user ID and password.

The facility is specifically designed for Adabas databases, offering detailed performance metrics.
