If your Adabas DBA needs you to compile a list of the files that constitute the Adabas databases, then it's time to hire a new DBA. Or, at the very least, time to send them on a course.
-----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List I agree. ADABAS is probably a better example than IDMS because IDMS doesn't have this problem. Of course, if you know it is a problem for ADABAS you can use SMF to compile a list of all datasets that have been opened by ADABAS and give this to the DBA to use as a checklist. Then you don't have to hold hands with the ADABAS DBA at 4:30 in the morning...
