PROFILER requires no modifications to ADABAS parameters, but a (standard) modification must be made to the ADALINK module(s). PROFILER maintains statistics through an independent link to the ADABAS address space by issuing an ADABAS OPEN command with a newly generated and unique ADABAS User-ID. Under Batch/TSO and COM-PLETE/TPF, this requires the user to create a copy of ADALNK and make this copy reentrant. Only PROFILER uses this copy. Under CICS, the ADALNC module must be coded with &SAP=Y. This allows the collection of PROFILER statistics to be kept separate from ADABAS calls and does not interfere with any other processing. Note that neither modification results in changing a single ADABAS parameter and does not require any “zaps” to the ADALINK code.
