AB Suite Runtime for MCP consists of the following components:
Runtime environment– provides a runtime environment to deploy AB Suite applications.
Enterprise Database Server (DMS II) – used as the database management system. AB Suite uses features of the standard DMSII product, with the facility to use DMS II Extended Edition features. Ispecs with persistent attributes are implemented as DATASETs. Event sets are also implemented as DATASETs. Profiles are implemented as SETs. Conditional profiles are implemented as SUBSETs.
Runtime Control and management utilities – consists of two utility programs:
Database Management Utility (DMU) – used to provide direct support to be a Runtime database system—executing database garbage collection, upgrading DMS II release levels for a database and providing emergency database support for production systems, such as fixing population limits.
System Management Utility (SMU) – used to reconfigure a Runtime system. For example, changing database and system names and family or pack settings.
