Probably not, but still a good opportunity to familiarize yourself with ADAREP output. ---

Dawar, I recommend you take a DBA Skills class or get some mentoring or one-on-one training before you submit any more JCL. I take it from the number of questions you posted that you are functioning as a DBA but have no idea the basic purpose of what I would call “beginners” utilities. You should become familiar with the various ADADBS options before you start running them. ---

This is bad time for USA, no more for training. I need to work on my own. So far I learn on my own plus some get help form forum. I think it is possible to learn if you guys will help me once a while. Every thing is possible, this is my believe. thanks for your suggestion and please feel free to share ur knowledge once a while. If I am able to learn only one or two new things every day, I hope I will be in better shape in six or 12 months. isn’t? thanks ---

By training, it doesn’t have to be expensive, formal classes. It can be from a more senior DBA who is helping to show you the ropes. If you don’t have such a person, and you’re it at your site for being an Adabas DBA, I think your site is in big trouble. You need to bring someone in to help for at least long enough to give you the experience you need if you are going to single-handedly support them. That’s my professional opinion. It’s never that bad in the US or anywhere to throw someone to the wolves with the keys to the kingdom. ---
