The Adapter for Adabas supports the Extended Adabas Control Block (ACBX), introduced by SoftwareAG in Adabas 8. The advantages of ACBX include increased buffer size and additional command options.

The adapter will use ACBX when:

• Create Synonym (automatically) detects Adabas Version 8 or higher for z/OS, or Version 6.2 for Open Systems.
• The Access File RELEASE parameter is set to 8 or higher for z/OS or 62 for Open Systems.

To enable retrieval from selected object classes, the adapter supports flat views of LDAP objects with the SCHEMA FLAT processing mode.

SCHEMA FLAT

Builds a synonym ignoring the LDAP data tree hierarchy and produces a Master File by mapping selected object classes to segments.

Filter by Object Class name

Creates a subset of Object Classes so that only a small list of Object Classes is produced.

Set as Index

Indicates the attribute (field) that can be utilized as the sort attribute for the LDAP API.

Note: Only a single attribute can be used as an Index.

View referenced Object names

Produces a list of Object Classes related by inheritance to the one selected.

Note: Adding referenced Object(s) is optional.
