Using the ADONIS Manuals

Three different user groups who use ADONIS can be distinguished:

System Administrators, (in particular Database Administrators),
ADONIS Administrators and
ADONIS Users.
System Administrators install ADONIS and create the ADONIS databases. Additionally they can
save and restore ADONIS databases. For database administration please refer to ADONIS Database
Administration manual.
ADONIS Administrators are responsible for the configuration of ADONIS ("customising"), as well as
for the administration of users, libraries, models and components.
ADONIS Users work with the ADONIS Business Process Management Toolkit. They acquire information, model and document their Business Processes and Working Environment (Organisational structures). In addition, the Business Process and Working Environment models constructed can be analysed, simulated, evaluated and if necessary transformed into an operative basis.
If ADONIS is installed as a stand-alone version, one person may carry out all the above roles.
The following ADONIS manuals exist for the different user groups:

New Features in ADONIS Version 3.9

If you have already used ADONIS version 3.81, you will find below a short description:
of the innovations in ADONIS Business Process Management Toolkit (see chap. 3.1, p. 5),
of the innovations in Administration Toolkit (see chap. 3.2, p. 7),
More detailed information can be found in the PDF file "News in ADONIS 39.pdf" which can be found
on the ADONIS installation CD in the folder "books".

3.1

New Features in the Business Process Management

Toolkit

3.1.1

General Innovations

When using ADONIS 3.9 in Windows XP environments, all graphical elements of the user interface are now shown in the "XP Look".
ADONIS 3.9 can either be launched with a German or an English user interface. An appropriate option can be found in the login dialogue (and as a parameter -lang for the command line).
Note: When using application libraries originating from older ADONIS versions, a library extension
is necessary for enabling a multilingual view and unleashing all new possibilities.
Because of an internal switch to MVC Architecture, several views at a time of one model are
possible. Furthermore, the model view is now always consistent with the real model contents - it is
no longer necessary to refresh the model view manually. The resulting performance gain allows
for keeping the model view up-to-date at all times without burdening older computer systems unnecessarily - manual refreshing is no longer necessary. As a consequence, the dialogue "Overview Representation" was removed. All preview windows are now instantly drawn or refreshed.
With ADONIS 3.9, the traditional "ADONIS Standard Application Library" is replaced with the new
"ADONIS BPMS Modelling Method". This library, as its predecessor, is based on the BPMS
Paradigm, but contains some new model types and special features.
Note: Models based on the "ADONIS Standard Application Library" can be transferred troublefree and effortless to the "ADONIS BPMS Modelling Method" using the import option "Import objects from different library".
The new tool "ADONIS Navigator" shows an overview of the active model in a so-called "docking window" (can be moved across the user interface and docked to special areas of the application window). The part of the model, which is currently visible in the model window, is highlighted
an can be used for navigating through the model.
Note: The Navigator replaces the function "Viewable Area" from the zoom dialogue. At the same
time, the accuracy of the preview was improved.
The new tool "ADONIS Inspector" (another "docking window") supplies the user with various details about the active modelling environment.
The functional range of the ADONIS Explorer was substanially extended:
-

Models can be copied via the functions "Copy" (Ctrl+C) and "Paste" (Ctrl+V). This creates a
copy of the model, the references pointing to the model remain with the original copy.

Model groups can be copied via the functions "Copy" (Ctrl+C) and "Paste" (Ctrl+V).

BOC Group 2006

page 5

Preface

Model references can be copied to other model groups via the function "Model reference(s) > Copy".

Model references can be removed from model groups via the function "Model reference(s) ->
Delete".

Model groups and models can be moved via the functions "Cut" (Ctrl+X) and "Paste"
(Ctrl+V).

The last model reference of a model can no longer be deleted, to prevent models being
moved to the model pool unintentionally. Of course, the model itself can be deleted as ever;
this naturally removes the model reference too. (Note: The Pool contains all models not accessible via model groups. They can be moved to the model group structure by the ADONIS
administrator.)

Editing browser cells in the ADONIS browser is now more comfortable: For simple attributes
(numbers, strings) editing can be simply started by navigating to the cell and starting typing (without preceding double click).
In the menu "Model", a new menu entry "Recent models" provides a list of all models recently
opened by the active user.
Performance has been improved in different areas.

3.1.2

Modelling

The "Undo" functionality was extended and now offers both multiple undo and redo steps. In
addition, the scope of undo-able functions was extended; creating objects and connectors and
changing the view mode is now also included.
Some new functions in the Graphical Model Editor:
-

The maximum size of the drawing area was increased to 50m x 50m (until now 4,5m x 4,5m).

During moving or resizing objects, now the actual state of the object is shown (no longer only
a silhouette). This e.g. enables to see during resizing, how the text in a Note will look.

The model view was redesigned to prevent jittering during refresh operations.

Showing submodels: An object containing a reference to a different model (e.g. a Subprocess

object) can be "expanded". This means that instead of the object, a view of the drawing area of
the referenced model is shown.
-

With the "show submodels" function all subordinated models over an arbitrary number of levels can be sown (even recursive!).

Showing/hiding submodels is possible both for single objects and for whole models.

Submodels can be shown even if they belong to a different model type than the main model.

Expanded objects are still accessible (e.g. for opening the notebook).

Changes to a model are instantly refreshed in all models having the changed model shown
as submodel.

Printing and generating graphics from the expanded view is possible.

The expanded submodel view can be reset via the context menu or a special hotspot (upper
right corner of the expanded view).

New features in the Modelling Bar: Swimlanes are now shown in the Modelling Bar like all other
modelling objects. There they can be selected and used as usual. Furthermore, the context menu
of the Modelling Bar was substantially extended: View modes can be changed here as well (up to
now only via the menu "View") and parts of the contents of the Modelling Bar (e.g. swimlanes or
connectors) can now explicitly be hidden without changing the view mode.

ADONIS Installation and Database Administration

Preface

The search algorithm was extended and now allows, apart from the classic search for visualised
attribute values, searching all attribute values (model and object attributes) either in the active
or in all loaded models. The search result is shown in a "docking window" (with additional features). On clicking on a search result, the appropriate model is shown and the object containing
the searched pattern is highlighted. In addition, all attribute values contained in the search result
can be edited directly. The search results remain available as search history. This enables navigating based on different results.
Connector representation: The dialogues "Connector marks" and "Representation of connector
edges" from earlier ADONIS versions are now united in one dialogue "Connector representation".
Thus, all connector settings are accessible at the same time.
Now it is possible to assign Attribute Profile References in the tabular modelling too.

3.1.3

Import/Export

New ADL 3.9 code: "Class Attributes" of relations (graphical representation, Notebook definition
etc.) are no longer exported with the standard ADL export. If this redundant attribute information is
needed for some reasons, it is still possible to export in ADL 3.81 code (as it is in ADL 3.0 code).
The ADL Import can now handle over-long reference attributes without problems.
The XML files generated by the XML Export are now UTF-8 coded (Unicode).

3.2

New Functionality in the Administration Toolkit

New features in Administration Toolkit are included in the following components or functions:
General news and improvements (see chap. 3.2.1, p. 7)
User Management (see chap. 3.2.2, p. 7)
Library Management (see chap. 3.2.3, p. 8)
Model Managemet (see chap. 3.2.4, p. 8)
LEO, AdoScript and Expressions (see chap. 3.2.5, p. 9)

3.2.1

General news and improvements

When using ADONIS 3.9 in Windows XP environments, all graphical elements of the user interface are now shown in the "XP Look".
ADONIS 3.9 can either be launched with a German or an English user interface. The available
languages can be found in the file lang.ini listed as Windows Language IDs. The first entry is
always the default language. This ensures that e.g. in a German version English can be determined as the default language. Via command line a language can be determined using the parameter -lang together with either an ISO-639 code or a Windows Language ID.
Examples: -langen for English or -lang1031 for German.
Performance has been improved in different areas.

3.2.2

User Management

Before starting the import of all system user groups and their users of a selected domain, it is now
possible to select certain system user groups via a new option. Afterwards, only the users of
BOC Group 2006

page 7

Preface

the selected groups are imported. Especially in large domains with many system user groups this
speeds things considerably up.

3.2.3

Library Management

It is now possible to define restriction rules for passwords (e.g. "at least six characters"). This
rule is checked when a user changes his password.
The definition possibilities for page layouts were substantially enhanced. Now a lot of new
elements, like lines or multiple bitmaps, can be used.
Incrementing the change counter in referencing models after renaming (pool) objects can be
disabled.
Because of the multilingualism feature, self-made menu entries can be made multilingual too.
Set filters in administration queries can now be seen via the button text in the settings.
The GraphRep features were substantially extended:
-

In PEN elements, pen style (dashed, dotted) and line thickness can now be combined. Furthermore, various styles for line end caps and joints are available.

In addition to Bitmaps, the following graphic file formats can now be visualised:
GIF, JPEG, ICO, PNG, TARGA, TIFF, WBMP, XPM.

Basic shapes can now be transformed into arbitrary forms using clipping commands
(CLIP_RECT, CLIP_ROUNDRECT, CLIP_POLY, CLIP_ELLIPSE) and combining operators.

Colour gradients can now be painted.

Using the BEZIER element Bzier curves can be drawn.

Loops (WHILE, FOR) can be programmed.

The two connector marks of a pair can now be displayed differently - depending on being at
the outgoing or the ingoing side of the connector.

Direct access to certain information from Record attributes now allows for displaying
whole tables on the drawing area or showing different attribute content depending on the current context.

Displaying different attribute values depending on the user interface language is possible.

The same attribute can now appear in more than one chapter of a Notebook. Furthermore, the
Notebook structure can now be made language-dependent: Depending on the chosen user interface language, different attributes can be shown.
For the Predefined Analysis/Evaluation Queries, there now is a new type of input field: the "Relation field", containing all relations of the model type in question.

New ADL 3.9 code: "Class Attributes" of relations (graphical representation, Notebook definition
etc.) are no longer exported with the standard ADL export. If this redundant attribute information is
needed for some reasons, it is still possible to export in ADL 3.81 code (as it is in ADL 3.0 code).
The ADL Import can now handle over-long reference attributes without problems.

Part I
ADONIS
Successful and dynamic enterprises can achieve decisive competitive advantage through the ability to
adapt their Business Processes quickly to the rapidly changing market conditions and through the active arrangement of their core competencies. The increasing dynamic, globalisation and increasing
competition make efficient Business Process Management an essential goal.
To enable this, the Procedural Modelling, Analysis, Simulation and Evaluation of Business Processes
is a decisive success factor. The goals of Business Process Management are the optimisation of both
the processes of an enterprise as well as the resources and technology which execute those processes.
The ADONIS Business Process Management Toolkit, which was developed by BOC in co-operation
with the University of Vienna offers essential tool support for re-engineering and reorganisation of projects.
ADONIS was specifically designed for the particular needs of financial services organisations and provides functionality primarily for the following application areas:
Business Process Optimisation / Business Process Re-engineering (BPR)
Quality Management / ISO 9000 Certification and Maintenance
Controlling (Process Costing)
Personnel Management (Personnel and Resource planning)
Organisation Management (Enterprise documentation, Job descriptions etc.)
Information Management (Creation of technical concepts for IT systems, Interfaces to Workflow
and CASE systems, Introduction of ERP Systems)
Creation of electronic handbooks which can be made available over an intranet with the use of
powerful multi media functionality
Evaluation of Business Processes (Benchmarking, Monitoring, "Should-be" comparison)

Figure 1: Business Process Management using ADONIS

The "Meta-concept" of ADONIS means that through customising, the tool can be configured to optimally suit the particular requirements of any user. The ADONIS user can decide by himself how he
should build the processes and how he can best use the ADONIS mechanisms. As ADONIS is
method independent, the management of Business Processes on different levels is guaranteed.

ADONIS Administration Toolkit

The ADONIS Administration Toolkit supports the effective use of ADONIS. The administration of
ADONIS users and user groups, ADONIS libraries as well as ADONIS models and model groups is
carried out within the ADONIS Administration Toolkit.
More detailed information on the Administration Toolkit can be found in the Administration manual as
well as in the online documentation of the toolkit.
The ADONIS Administration Toolkit consists of the following components:

User Management
The User Management component allows the ADONIS administrator to create and authorise ADONIS
users. By assigning ADONIS users to ADONIS user groups, the access rights of the users to model
groups and models can be defined. The creation, alteration and deletion of users and user groups is
also possible within this component. In addition, it is possible to export ADONIS users and user
groups into UDL files as well as to import them from UDL files. UDL stands for User Definition Language. With the help of UDL Import/Export it is possible to transfer ADONIS users and user groups
between ADONIS databases. UDL export can also be used as a backup mechanism for your ADONIS
users and user groups.

Library Management
In ADONIS every user has access to an ADONIS application library with which he can create models.
The ADONIS BPMS Application Library is the default group of objects and relations that support modelling. Within the Library Management component, ADONIS application libraries can be imported, exported and deleted. Library and class attributes can also be altered (customised) within this component.
Editing and checking the library and class attributes of the application libraries takes place within this
component. Additionally, application libraries can be exported into ABL files and ABL files can be imported into the ADONIS database. (ABL = ADONIS Binary Language). With the help of ABL import
and export, application libraries can be transferred to different ADONIS databases. ABL export can
also serve as a method of backing up your application libraries.

Model Management
Within the Model Management component, the ADONIS administrator can import, export and delete
ADONIS models, model groups and application models. In addition, model groups can be created and
altered. The access rights of user groups (and therefore users) are assigned to ADONIS model
groups. Model management allows you to set up the access rights to the models of the ADONIS database.

page 16

ADONIS Installation and Database Administration

ADONIS

Attribute Profile Management

In the Attribute Profile Management, the ADONIS administrator may add, delete, edit, export, or import
the ADONIS attribute profiles and attribute profile groups. Attribute profiles represent the repository
concept in ADONIS. The attribute profile represents one or more attributes, that may be reused for
any object and can be centrally maintained. Attribute profiles are embedded in the user rights system,
to enable unified and controlled care over the attribute profiles.

Component Management
Using the Component Management, additional components of ADONIS can be made available to the
ADONIS users. Furthermore, the current configuration of the Business Process Management Toolkit
can be checked within this component.
Hint: A more detailed description of the ADONIS Administration Toolkit can be found in the
ADONIS Administration manual.

ADONIS Business Process Management Toolkit

You can construct your models using the ADONIS Business process management Toolkit.
The Business Process Management Toolkit provides a large number of components and modules,
which enable yout to enrich, analyse, simulate and evaluate your models.
The ADONIS Business Process Management Toolkit consists of the following components:

Information Acquisition
Information Acquisition supports you in gathering information, which is important (or necessary) to
successfully model your Business Processes and Working Environments. One of the methods provided is the use of the acquisition tables or HOMER component, which runs through a link to Microsoft Excel. Data can be entered in these tables (excel sheets) and this data can then be exported to
an ADL file and imported into the ADONIS Business Process Management Toolkit.

Modelling
The Modelling Component is the heart of the ADONIS Business Process Management Toolkit. It allows you to build the models you require (e.g. Business Process or Working Environments). You can
create and amend your own models (and the attribute values of the objects used) using the graphical
editor (model editor) provided. Additionally, it is also possible to input attribute values through a tabular view of the model.
If you have never modelled business processes before, we recommend that you read the section
"Fundamentals of Modelling" in the user manual. Some basic tips to ensure the clarity and quality of
your models can be found there.

Analysis
Within the Analysis Component, queries on your ADONIS models can be run and relation tables or
predefined charts can be produced. Both predefined and user-definable queries are provided in
ADONIS. The query language in ADONIS is AQL (ADONIS Query Language). Creation of queries will
be defined by the ADONIS administrator and will be provided to an ADONIS user.
The results of a query can be displayed either as a table or graphically. The results can also be exported to an ASCII file. In this way you can process the results further in another application (e.g.
spreadsheet, word processor etc.).
An Analytical Evaluation of business process models can also be carried out.

Simulation
The Simulation of Business Processes and Working Environments is executed in the Simulation Component. Four simulation algorithms are available in ADONIS: Path Analysis simulates the Business
Process models only, while the Capacity Analysis, Workload Analysis (steady state), and Work-

page 18

ADONIS Installation and Database Administration

ADONIS

load Analysis (fixed time period) simulate the Business Process models and the corresponding
Working Environment models.
With the help of ADONIS agents it is possible to calculate non-standard results during simulation.

Evaluation
The Evaluation Component offers mechanisms for the Evaluation of "should-be" models as real running processes.
The Evaluation Component provides the following areas of functionality comparative representation
of results, Evaluation of real-time audit trails of the workflow management system MQSeries
Workflow / WebSphere MQ (IBM) and pre-defined evaluation queries.
As an additional option, the ADONIS Process Costing component as well as the dynamic Evaluation modules can be integrated with the toolkit.
The ADONIS Process Costing Component supports the optimisation of costs, especially overhead
costs and supports the identification and evaluation of possibilities for savings. Dynamic Evaluation
Modules, based on the simulation algorithm "Capacity Analysis", enable the period-related evaluation
(e.g. Human Resource Management), for which the calculation algorithms can be customised.

Import/Export
The Import/Export Component provides the option of exporting ADONIS models, model groups and
application models into ADL or XML files as well as importing them into the ADONIS database from
such files. ADL stands for ADONIS Definition Language. With the help of this component you can
transfer ADONIS models, model groups and application models into a different ADONIS database.
Additionally, ADL or XML Export can serve as a back-up mechanism for your models, model groups
and application models.
The Documentation (part of the Import/Export Component) provides you with the possibility to transfer your ADONIS models into an electronic model documentation (e.g. HTML, XML data) or in a paper
documentation (e.g. DOC files for Microsoft Word). In this way it is possible to distribute the contents
of your models either in document format (through a word processing program) or over an Intranet.

Hint: You will find a detailed description of the ADONIS Business Process Management
Toolkit within the section "Business Process Management Toolkit" in the ADONIS user
manual.

5.1

ADONIS Business Edition

Within the "ADONIS Business Edition" the following components of the ADONIS Business Process
Management Toolkit are available:
Modelling
Analysis
Documentation
Import/Export
Hint: The components "Process Cost Analysis (Process Costing Component)", "Personaland Capacity Management", "Call Centre Management" as well as "case/4/0 interface"
are additional components and therefore they are not contained in the ADONIS Business
Edition.
When needed it is possible to acquire new components or further modules within a component of the
ADONIS Business Process Management Toolkit, which then can be provided for the ADONIS users

page 20

by entering a new licence key. Alternatively it is also possible to further restrict the composition of the
ADONIS Business Edition.
Hint: When using the ADONIS Business Edition the smart-icons of unsupported components
will not be displayed in the component bar. The same applies to smart-icons in the quickaccess bars. If the ADONIS user or the ADONIS administrator did not change the configuration, only the smart icons corresponding to the functionality of ADONIS Business
Edition will be displayed.

5.2

ADONIS Professional Edition

Within the "ADONIS Professional Edition" all components of the ADONIS Business Process Management Toolkit are available.
Hint: The components "Process Cost Analysis (Process Costing Component)", "Personaland Capacity Management", "Call Centre Management" as well as "case/4/0 interface"
are additional components and therefore are not contained in the ADONIS Professional
Edition.

5.3

Additional ADONIS Components

The additional components:

"Process Cost Analysis"
"Personnel and Capacity Management"
"Call Centre Management"
"Case/4/0 interface"
"ObjectiF interface"
can be integrated into your existing ADONIS installation. They are not contained in the default configuration of ADONIS (Business or Professional Edition).

5.3.1

ADONIS Process Cost Analysis

The Process Cost Analysis supports cost optimisation, especially overhead costs. The system is capable to set informative analysis on the available savings possibilities.
The ADONIS Process Cost Analysis simulates the Business Process models. This identifies further
potential for analysis and optimisation of the process costs - the course of the control structure can
contain decisions and some parallel structures and above this many optional process levels are allowed.

5.3.2

Personnel and Capacity Management

The Personnel and Capacity Management supports the time period based evaluation of Business
Processes and Working Environments. In particular the periods of validity assigned in the periodrelated versioning will be used.
The key figures determined in the Personnel and Capacity Management can be corporate-specific
configured. Besides quantitative evaluation quality evaluation will also be supported. For instance,

BOC Group 2006

page 21

Part I

questions such as "What are the roles and skills that I need to realise my Business Processes?" can
be answered.

5.3.3

Call Centre Management

The Call Centre Management Component supports personnel planning (FTEs) and skills management within Call and Multimedia Service Centres.
The processes in these centres are used as the basis and input for crucial information regarding time,
costs and knowledge. For instance:
How long does a helpdesk query or an address change take?
What capacity is needed for a given time interval and which costs do arise?
How do you document for your employees which actions to take in different scenarios?

5.3.4

case/4/0 Interface

Through the coupling of case/4/0 from microTOOL GmbH, Business Process oriented application
development is possible, to create the required building blocks for a new system in case/4/0 from
ADONIS and to maintain consistent links to the specific activities of the Business Processes. The link
is established online from special Business Process models to an Application Development environment.
Through this direct integration from specialised Business Process models to IT models before the
construction of an application system, it is possible to identify the Business Process affected by the
new system. The functionality of ADONIS allowing personnel capacity and cycle time to be calculated
is very useful for deriving the qualifications necessary to carry out the Business Processes. This
means that when changing existing applications, we already have an effective qualification system.
The IT company map together with the Business Processes provide comprehensive documentation.
As a result of the links between the two toolkits, changes to either the applications or the Business
Processes can be accurately described and evaluated. In this way modern Information and Migration Management is possible.
ADONIS and case/4/0 also offers components for the generation of documentation which can then
be distributed over the Internet or an Intranet. Through the coupling with case/4/0 Business Process
and application documentation can be integrated and distributed to target groups within the enterprise.

5.3.5

objectiF Interface

Through the coupling of objectiF from microTOOL GmbH Business Process oriented application
development is possible, to create the required building blocks for a new system in objectiF from
ADONIS and to maintain consistent links to the specific activities of the Business Processes. The link
is established online from specialised Business Process models to an Application Development environment.
Through this direct integration from specialised Business Process models to IT models before the realisation of an application system, it is possible to identify the Business Processes affected by the

5.4

ADONIS Modelling Methods

The modelling in ADONIS (Business or Professional Edition) is effected applying a defined methodology (= application library). Within one ADONIS database several methods can be administered and
provided to the users.
In addition to the possibility to adapt the modelling methodology to the needs of the customer the
ADONIS BPMS modelling method (ADONIS BPMS Application Library) is contained within ADONIS
(Business or Professional Edition).
The following (de-facto standards) for modelling methodologies are offered in addition:

Overview

1.1

ADONIS Components

ADONIS (Client and Stand-alone) version 3.9 consists of the following two ADONIS components:
ADONIS Administration Toolkit (see chap. 3., p. 16) and
ADONIS Business Process Management Toolkit (see chap. 4., p. 18).
ADONIS (Server) version 3.9 also includes the installation of the ADONIS database administration
(see Part IV., p. 77) to be used for creating and maintaining ADONIS databases.
The ADONIS Database maintenance will be automatically installed for ADONIS (Stand-alone) version
3.9.
The ADONIS Online Documentation for the ADONIS components as well as database administration
is automatically installed.
The ADONIS Online Documentation provides the user with information and hints on, as well as explanations of, the ADONIS components.
The ADONIS Database maintenance enables the database administrator to create ADONIS databases, backup ADONIS databases (DB2 only) and restore ADONIS databases (DB2 only). The programs for the ADONIS Database maintenance can be found, together with the online help in the
ADONIS program folder.

1.2

Preparation for Installation

Please read the following section carefully before starting the installation of ADONIS version 3.9.

1.2.1

page 28

ADONIS Installation and Database Administration

Installation

SVGA graphic card with a resolution of 1024x768x65.536 (1280x1024x16 million recommended)

55 MB empty space on the hard disk for ADONIS
at least 40 MB empty space is required on the hard disk for an empty ADONIS database (the size
cannot be specified exactly as it depends on the database system use and the settings required
by the database system). The ADONIS database can either be set to be dynamically enlarged or
must be enlarged by the database administrator (depending on the settings of the database system).

1.2.1.2

Server

The following hardware configuration is recommended for the server when installing ADONIS version
3.9 in a Client/Server environment:
ADONIS Server:
min. PII/comparable processor 500 MHz (PIII 800 MHz/comparable processor or higher recommended)
min. 128 MB RAM (256 MB recommended)
17 MB empty space on the hard disk for ADONIS Database maintenance
Database Server:
Processor according to the specification of DBMS provider
CPU frequency according to the specification of DBMS provider
Memory according to the specification of DBMS provider
at least 40 MB empty space is required on the hard disk for an empty ADONIS database (the size
cannot be specified exactly as it depends on the database system use and the settings required
by the database system). The ADONIS database can either be set to be dynamically enlarged
(DB2 and ORACLE) or must be enlarged by the database administrator (INFORMIX and Microsoft
SQL Server).
Hint: A substantial improvement in performance in Client/Server mode can be obtained if the
server is equipped with adequate hardware (processor, RAM size).

Advice for users of old ADONIS versions (before 3.5)

If you have already been working with ADONIS version 3.0x we recommend to proceed according to
the following checklist to migrate the content of your old ADONIS-3.0x database into the new ADONIS
3.9 database.
ATTENTION:

For ADONIS version 3.9 a new ADONIS database has to be created as the
database scheme changed since the old version.

Hint: If you have questions please contact your ADONIS consultant.

Check list for switching to ADONIS 3.9:

before the installation of ADONIS 3.9 (see chap. 1.3.1, p. 34)

after the installation of ADONIS 3.9 (see chap. 1.3.4, p. 35)

1.3.1

Before the installation of ADONIS 3.9

1.

Export your specific application libraries from the existing ADONIS 3.0x database to one (several) ABL file(s) (ADONIS Administration Toolkit - Library management).

2.

Export all users and user groups from the existing ADONIS database to an UDL file (ADONIS
Administration Toolkit - User management).
For this select the main user groups only and activate the options "Including users" and "Including
user groups".

3.

Export all models and model groups from the existing ADONIS 3.0x database to an ADL file
(ADONIS Administration Toolkit - User administration).

1.4

Advice for users of ADONIS version 3.5x to 3.81

If you have already been working with an ADONIS version between 3.5x and 3.81 you can install
ADONIS 3.9 and continue your work with the existing ADONIS-3.5x database, i.e. a data migration is
not required to work with the new version of ADONIS.
ATTENTION:

When using a library specific subdirectory in the ADONIS installation directory you have to copy this subdirectory into the new installation directory of
ADONIS 3.9.

ATTENTION:

If the acquisition tool HOMER was installed simultaneously with the previous version of ADONIS 3.9 and if HOMER acquisition scenarios were edited or added see the advice for users of HOMER (see chap. 1.5, p. 35).

Should you nevertheless wish to create a new ADONIS 3.9 database we recommend you follow the
steps as outlined in the chapter "Advice for users of old ADONIS versions" (see chap. 1.3, p. 34).
Hint: If you have questions please contact your ADONIS consultant.

1.5

Advice for users of HOMER 3.7

If you have edited existing HOMER scenarios or added new HOMER scenarios it is recommended to
export these scenarios to a XLS file or to backup the file HOMER.XLS from the HOMER installation directory (default directory c:\Program files\ADONIS<Version>\HOMER) as these scenarios will be deleted when de-installing HOMER.
Hint: If you have questions please contact your ADONIS consultant.

2.4

After the Installation

After having installed the required ADONIS components successfully you should proceed with the following steps:
Create ADONIS database (see chap. 2.4.1, p. 58) respectively create database connections
(see chap. 2.4.2, p. 58) (Client only)
Enter command line parameters (see chap. 2.4.3, p. 59)
Create database selection list (see chap. 2.4.4, p. 60)
Change password (see chap. 2.4.5, p. 60)
Add new ADONIS users (see chap. 2.4.6, p. 60)

2.4.1

Create ADONIS Database

During the installation of ADONIS version 3.9 no ADONIS database will be created. As you will need
an ADONIS database for your work with ADONIS you will have to create one (or several) ADONIS databases. A detailed description can be found in the chapter "Database administration" (see Part IV.,
p. 77). The Database administration appendix (see chap. 3., p. 162) explains how to create databases
for each database system.
Hint: To create an ADONIS database you will need your licence number, which has been
delivered together with the customer number.

2.4.2

Create ADONIS Database Connection (Client)

Hint: A connection must only be created on the client!

page 58

ADONIS Installation and Database Administration

Installation

In the Database administration appendix (see chap. 3., p. 162) a description of how to set up ADONIS
database connections can be found for the database systems:
DB2 (see chap. 3.1.1, p. 162)
INFORMIX (see chap. 3.4.1, p. 170)
ORACLE (see chap. 3.5.1, p. 173)
Microsoft SQL Server (see chap. 3.6.1.1, p. 178)

2.4.3

Enter Command Line Arguments

By entering arguments containing the parameters user name, password, and database name for the
Administration or Business Process Management Toolkit no log-in screen will be shown during the
start of ADONIS.
The arguments are entered in the program properties in the field "Target" after the program name.
The following arguments can be used:
-u<User name>

replace <User name> with the name of the ADONIS/system user.

-p<Password>

replace <Password> with the password of the ADONIS/system user.

-d<DB-Name>

replace <DB name> with the name of the ADONIS database.

-lang<Language code> replace <Language code> either with the Windows Language ID or the
ADONIS code of the desired language (see chap. 2., p. 156) for the user interface.
Note: For being able to use -lang<Language code>, your ADONIS installation must provide this language. If this parameter is not used, ADONIS will
start in the basic language "German".
-f<Font type name>

replace <Font type name> with the name of the font to be used inADONIS.
The default font for Windows is "MS Sans Serif".

-h<Font size>

replace <Font size> with a number between 4 and 48 for the size of the font
in ADONIS.
The default font size is 12pt.

-x

causes that the ADONIS login screen will be shown despite the fact that parameters for the user name (-u), the password (-p) and the database name
(-d) are shown.

-winlogin

commands to log in as the currently active system user.

Note: To use the parameter -winlogin the Single-Sign-on functionality has to
be installed.

-no_login_screen

determines that in the case of an unsuccessful login the login screen will not
be displayed after the error message.
Note: An unsuccessful login means that all the parameters for the user
name (-u), the password (-p) and the database name (-d) have been stated
but at least one of the parameters was incorrect.

-no_printer_warning

causes that the error message "No default printer installed" will not be displayed in the case of no default printer being installed.

Hint: If you pass on the user name (-u), the password (-p) and the database name (-d) correctly as parameters, the ADONIS login screen will not be shown.

BOC Group 2006

page 59

Part II

ATTENTION:

Should the user name, password, database name, or font type names contain spaces, the entire parameter has to be put within quotation marks (e.g.
"-uUser 1" for the user "User 1").

ATTENTION:

User name and password are case sensitive!

Hint: If one of the arguments has not been entered correctly, an appropriate message will be
shown as the ADONIS component is started. Then the login window, in which the correct
parameters can be entered, will be displayed.
Hint: The argument -winlogin can only be used for the log-in as a system user and having
ensured that within the respective ADONIS database the Single-Sign-on functionality is
enabled.

2.4.4

Create Database Selection List

Using a database selection drop-down list you can view all the ADONIS databases available in the
ADONIS database Server as an INI file. The advantage is that during the login to ADONIS, a list of all
the available databases will be provided and the user can select a database from this list.
The availability of such a list is indicated by the symbol
name".

at the end of the input field "Database

Create the database selection list by creating a file with the name adblist.ini in the ADONIS installation directory and include the names of the databases for the list as follows:
<Database name1>;
<Database name2>;
...

Hint: Each database name has to be entered into a separate line and the line has to end
with a ";" (semi-colon). It is recommended to avoid empty lines.

2.4.5

Change Password

Hint: In a Client/Server environment the password can be changed in either the Administration or the Business Process Management Toolkit! The ADONIS administrator should
change the password of the default user "Admin".
As the ADONIS administrator you should change the password of the standard user "Admin" (password "password" after the installation) for security reasons in order to avoid unauthorised access to
the ADONIS components.
Every user can change his/her password at any time in the ADONIS Administration Toolkit or in the
ADONIS Business Process Management Toolkit.
A description of how passwords can be changed can be found in the appendix to the Administration
manual and the appendix to the User manual.

2.4.6

Add New ADONIS Users

Hint: Adding new users can only be done by the ADONIS administrator in the Administration
Toolkit!

page 60

ADONIS Installation and Database Administration

Installation

New ADONIS users should be added directly after the installation. During the installation a standard
user (user name "Admin", password "password", user group "ADONIS"), is created with all ADONIS
rights.
Detailed information of how to add new ADONIS users can be found in the chapter "User Administration" in the administration manual.

2.5

Possible Installation Problems

Problems during the installation may occur, if the prerequisites and requirements (see chap. 1.2, p. 28
) are not (fully) fulfilled (e.g. operating system is not Windows NT Version 4.0, there is not sufficient
hard disk storage place, etc.). Therefore please pay attention to the installation prerequisites
(see chap. 1.2.3, p. 32), the hardware recommendations (see chap. 1.2.1, p. 28) and the software requirements (see chap. 1.2.2, p. 30), in order to avoid such problems.
Any errors occurring during the installation of ADONIS will be displayed at the time. Please see the
online help of the installation software for information on how to handle such errors.

1.

Preparation for Uninstalling

Preparation for un-installation (Stand-alone)

The following steps are recommended when uninstalling ADONIS (stand-alone version), as once the
un-installation has been completed, no access to the ADONIS users, application libraries and ADONIS
models in the ADONIS database will be possible.
Export any user-specific application libraries within the ADONIS database into ABL files. After a
new installation of ADONIS (stand-alone) version 3.9 you will be able to re-import them (see Administration manual, chapter "Library Management").
Export all models and application models within the ADONIS databases into ADL files. This ensures all your models are saved and can be re-imported after a new installation of ADONIS
(stand-alone) version 3.9, be re-imported (see Administration manual, chapter "Model Management").
Export all users within ADONIS databases into UDL files. This ensures that all ADONIS users are
saved and can be re-imported after a new installation of ADONIS (stand-alone) version 3.9 (see
Administration manual, chapter "User administration").
Export all changed or newly created HOMER 3.7 scenarios into XLS files or save the file
HOMER.XLS from the HOMER installation directory. This ensures that all HOMER 3.7 acquisition
scenarios are saved and can be re-imported after a new installation of HOMER (see User's manual, chapter "HOMER scenarios administration").
Start the un-installation according to the steps described in the chapter "Uninstall ADONIS for
Windows (Stand-alone)" (see chap. 2., p. 75).
ATTENTION:

After ADONIS version 3.9 has been uninstalled, the ADONIS Database
maintenance services will no longer be available.

Preparation for un-installation (Client/Server)

Uninstalling the client version of ADONIS has no influence on the ADONIS database. Therefore, all
data will remain in the ADONIS database and it will still be possible to access models from another
computer where ADONIS is still installed.
Hint: If ADONIS is only installed on the client the preparatory steps described above must
be carried out before un-installation.
Hint: If HOMER scenarios were changed or newly created with the HOMER 3.7 version installed on the client these scenarios should be saved into XLS files.
While uninstalling a server version the programs of the ADONIS Database maintenance are deleted.
However any previously created ADONIS databases will remain.
Hint: The ADONIS databases can only be deleted by the database administrator.

ADONIS Installation and Database Administration

Part IV
Database Administration
ADONIS enables you to install several ADONIS databases. This means for example that you can create an ADONIS database for each individual project on which you are working.
By using the ADONIS Database maintenance software, the database administrator can:
create ADONIS databases for the database systems:
-

DB2 (see chap. 1.1, p. 78)

INFORMIX (see chap. 2.1, p. 87)

ORACLE (see chap. 3.1, p. 91)

Microsoft SQL Server (see chap. 4.1, p. 95)

backup DB2 Databases (see chap. 1.2, p. 84), and

restore DB2 Databases (see chap. 1.3, p. 85)
The functions of the ADONIS Database maintenance will be started when starting the appropriate
program in the ADONIS program folder.
The online documentation is also found in the ADONIS program folder beneath the programs for the
database administration.

Part IV

1.

Database system "DB2"

When using the database system "DB2" it is possible to set up (see chap. 1.1.3, p. 79) an ADONIS database in an existing (empty) DB2 database.
Alternatively you can create (see chap. 1.1.4, p. 82) both a DB2 database and the ADONIS database
by using applications provided with ADONIS.
In addition an ADONIS DB2 database can be backed up (see chap. 1.2, p. 84) and restored
(see chap. 1.3, p. 85) using the ADONIS Database maintenance.

1.1

Creating an ADONIS DB2 Database

Before creating an ADONIS database, please read the Hardware recommendations (see chap. 1.1.1,
p. 78) concerning the buffer space on the hard disk. Additionally ensure that the Software Requirements (see chap. 1.1.2, p. 78) are met.
The ADONIS DB2 database can be
created in a previously prepared DB2 database (see chap. 1.1.3, p. 79) or
a completely new database (see chap. 1.1.4, p. 82).

1.1.1

Hardware Recommendations

A successful ADONIS database installation requires at least 20 MB of empty buffer space on the DB2
Server. The space needed when generating ADONIS objects and data (models, users and libraries)
cannot be specified more accurately as the ADONIS database extends dynamically when ADONIS is
used. The range of extension depends on the number and size of the models. For 1000 models about
400-700 MB are needed, depending on the model type definition and the average model size.

1.1.2

Software Requirements

Server
The DB2 UDB software (version 5.2/6.x/7.x/8.x) must be installed on the server.
A user with the name "ADONIS" and the password "BPMS" must be created. This password must not
be changed in the future. Therefore system-specific options such as "User has to change password on
first login" (Windows XP/2000/NT) must be deactivated.
Hint: The password for DB login can be changed with the program "ACLOG.EXE" (in directory \TOOLS on the installation CD-ROM). For more details please refer to the documentation in the file "ACLOG for DB2.PDF (also in directory \TOOLS).
The database configuration parameter "AUTHENTICATION" must be set to the value "SERVER" (as
per the standard settings).
To enable database access from remote clients, the DB2 manager must be configured to support the
transport protocol used (see Set-up network connections (see chap. 3.1.1, p. 162)).

page 78

ADONIS Installation and Database Administration

Database Administration

Client
The DB2 Client Application Enabler (up to version 5.2) or DB2 Run-Time Client or DB2 Administration
Client (version 6 or higher) in a version corresponding to the version used on the DB2 server (see
above) must be installed on the client.
For the multi-user installation or when the ADONIS software and DB2 server will be running on separate computers, the DB2 server must be catalogued as a node (see chap. 3.1.1.2, p. 163); initially on
the computer on which the database installation program will be started, afterwards on all clients.
If the DB2 Server is located on a remote computer, the DB2 manager must be catalogued as a node
on the client, i.e. the network connection has to be set up (see chap. 3.1.1, p. 162).
Stand-alone
The DB2 UDB software (5.2/6.x/7.x/8.x - PE or Server) must be installed.
For information concerning the DB2 database for Windows NT/95 please see chapters "DB2 for Windows NT - Stand-alone" (see chap. 3.2, p. 169) and "DB2 for Windows 95 - Stand-alone"
(see chap. 3.3, p. 170).

1.1.3

Creating an ADONIS database within a previously prepared DB2 database

Hint: Alternatively to the described procedure, the DB2 database can be created and configured automatically using the ADONIS Database installation program. (See next chapter
"Creating a new ADONIS DB2 database" (see chap. 1.1.4, p. 82).)
Prerequisites:
It is highly recommended that an empty DB2 database is used for the ADONIS database installation
(i.e. this database should contain no tables or data belonging to any other database applications). The
approach for creating a DB2 database and preparing it for an ADONIS database installation is described in the appendix "Database setup" (see chap. 3.1.2, p. 164).
The DB2 database used for the ADONIS DB installation must be catalogued on the client. Information
related to the cataloguing of a database can be found in the appendix "Catalogue a database"
(see chap. 3.1.2.1, p. 165).
At least two concurrent connections to the database are necessary for the ADONIS database installation. Two connections to the database are needed for each active ADONIS application. Therefore the
DB configuration parameter "MAXAPPLS" (pre-set value 20) must be set to a value equalling twice the
number of ADONIS users.
A list of recommended settings for additional database configuration parameters can be found in the
appendix "Recommended database configuration parameters" (see chap. 3.1.3, p. 166).
When using version 2.1.1 or 2.1.2 of the DB2 products, the CLI-packages must be created and bound
and the user "ADONIS" must be given rights to execute them. This can be done with the following
statement:
BIND <db2path>\BND\@DB2CLI.LST GRANT ADONIS

For further details please see the appendix "Binding CLI packages" (see chap. 3.1.2.2, p. 165).
Create the ADONIS database:
Once the program "Create an ADONIS database" has been started, the window "Create ADONIS database" (see fig. 53) will appear.

Part IV

Figure 53: Create ADONIS DB2 database within a previously prepared DB

To create an ADONIS database within a previously prepared DB2 database, the option "Create new
database" must be deactivated. The following steps should be carried out:
Database name:

Input the catalogued name of the DB2 database which had been
prepared for the ADONIS database installation.

Licence number:

Input the licence number. You can find the licence number together
with the customer number on an information sheet that has been delivered with the installation kit.

Database system:

The pre-selected entry "DB2" in the field "Database system" does

not need to be changed.
Hint: If you are using more than one database system with ADONIS then a list of all those
database systems will be found in this listbox.

Single-Sign-on installation: Select whether the ADONIS database should support Single-Sign-on.
"Without Single-Sign-on" creates a new ADONIS database without Single-Sign-on functionality.
"With Single-Sign-on" creates a new ADONIS database supporting Single-Sign-on functionality.
"Install now" extends an existing ADONIS database (created with
ADONIS 3.5x or 3.6) to support Single-Sign-on. In addition functionality in the ADONIS User management in the ADONIS Administration Toolkit (temporarily deletion of ADONIS users, show the date of
last login of ADONIS users) will be enabled.
Single-Sign-on type:

Within this field please select the type of user administration in your
system environment.
"WINNT" has to be selected when the domain control and the user
administration in the Windows network are not based on an Active
Directory system (i.e. a pre Windows 2000, primary Windows NT
domain controller is being used).
"Active-Directory" has to be selected when the domain control and
the user administration in the Windows network are based on an Active Directory system.

Create new database:

The check-box must be empty.

Create tables:

Determines whether tables and other database objects shall be created by the program (check-box ticked) or if they are required and

the initialisation of the database is started immediately (check-box

not enabled).
Hint: Please pay attention to the software prerequisites in order to use Single-Sign-on
functionality in ADONIS.
Hint: If the Option "Create tables" is not activated, then the ADONIS database objects
must previously have been created per SQL (DDL) script. For this, the files "adonis37.ddl"
and "adonis37.dcl" are provided in the sub directory "dbinfo" of the installation CD. This
type of installation installs the database objects initially without the functionality allowing
to create operating system users in ADONIS and use them to login to ADONIS. To enable the Single-Sign-on functionality with this type of installation the program "Create
ADONISDB" has to be run with the Single-Sign-on installation set to "Single-Sign-on
ONLY".
After all necessary entries have been completed, click on the OK button to start creating the ADONIS
database.
It is also possible to install the ADONIS database from a command line window. Change into the directory into which ADONIS has been installed. Then enter the following statement:
adbinst [-d<database name>] [-l<licence number>]
[-c-]
[-i<Single-Sign-on installation>] [-y<Single-Sign-on type>]
[-lang<language code>]

Replace <database name> with the name of the ADONIS database to be created and <licence
number> with the licence number delivered.
With the parameter -c it is possible to distinguish between the case of creating the ADONIS database
within an existing DB2 database ("-c-") and creating a new DB2 database ("-c+") for this purpose.
Replace <Single-Sign-on installation> with "SSO" to create a new ADONIS database supporting
Single-Sign-on, "NO_SSO" to create a new ADONIS database without Single-Sign-on functionality or
"ONLY_SSO" to extend an existing ADONIS database with Single-Sign-on functionality.
Replace <Single-Sign-on type> with "WINNT", if the domain control and user administration in the
Windows network are not based on an Active Directory system (i.e. a pre Windows 2000, primary
Windows NT domain controller is being used) or "AD", if the domain control and user administration in
the Windows network are based on an Active Directory system.
Replace <language code> with the Windows language ID or Windows locale of the corresponding
language (see chap. 2., p. 156) to show the window "Create ADONIS database" using the selected
language.
Hint: If you enter fewer parameters than expected or invalid parameters, the window "Create
ADONIS database" (see fig. 53, p. 80) will be shown and you will be able to make the required changes.
ATTENTION:

The typed language code had to be selected during the ADONIS installation and the ADONIS licence number had to be configured accordingly to
consider this language.

Once the installation has been successfully completed an appropriate message will be shown.
Hint: During the installation of an ADONIS database the ADONIS BPMS Application Library
with the standard user "Admin" and the standard user group "ADONIS" will be automatically installed. A detailed description of the ADONIS BPMS Application Library can be
found in the BPMS modelling method manual.

[-lang<language code>]

Replace <database name> with the name of the ADONIS database to be saved, <user> with the
name of a user possessing administration rights on the server and <password> with the password of
the user. Instead of <path> enter the drive and directory in which the backup should be stored.
Replace <language code> with the Windows language ID or Windows locale of the corresponding
language (see chap. 2., p. 156) to show the window "Backup ADONIS database" using the selected
language.
Hint: Mind the correct order of the parameters (i.e. database name - user - password - path).
If you enter fewer than these expected four parameters or invalid parameters than the
window "Backup ADONIS database" (see fig. 55, p. 84) will be shown where you will be
able to make any changes required.

page 84

ADONIS Installation and Database Administration

Database Administration

ATTENTION:

The typed language code had to be selected during the ADONIS installation and the ADONIS licence number had to be configured accordingly to
consider this language.

During the backup a status window will be displayed to keep you informed about progress.
After the backup has been completed successfully an appropriate message will be shown - this message will include a time-stamp which identifies the backup.
Write down the time-stamp shown (14-digit number) and close the window by clicking the OK button or
pressing "Enter".
ATTENTION:

If necessary, the backed up database can be restored (see chap. 1.3, p. 85

) using the program "ADONIS Restore a database".

The backup of the ADONIS database can be found in the following directory:
<path>\<database name>.0\db2.0\<date>\<time>.001

<path> represents the path (drive and possibly directory), which was previously entered into the field
"Path", <database name> stands for the name of the ADONIS database backed up, <date>equals the
system date (format: YYYYMMDD) as at the day of the backup and <time> the system time (format:
hhmmss) at the moment of the backup.
Hint: The time-stamp is composed of <date> and <time>.
For example, the time-stamp 20000621174137 implies, that the backup of the ADONIS
database was carried out on June 21st 2000 at 17:41:37. Therefore the backup file has
the name 174137.001 and is situated in the path as entered by the user within the directories:
\ADONISDB.0\db2.0\20000621\

1.3

Restoring an ADONIS DB2 database

An ADONIS database can be restored by using the program "Restore an ADONIS database".
The window "Restore ADONIS database" appears once the above program has been started
(see fig. 56).

Figure 56: Restore ADONIS DB2 database

The following information should be entered into the corresponding fields in the dialogue window:

Path:

Enter the drive and directory in which the backup can be found.

Timestamp:

Enter the time-stamp that was displayed after the backup (see chap. 1.2,
p. 84) of the ADONIS database.

This time-stamp can be easily derived from the date and time of the saved ADONIS database (time
stamp = date and time; format: YYYYMMDDhhmmss). The backup file of the ADONIS database is located in the path that was entered by the user within the following directory structure:
<path>\<database name>.0\db2.0\<date>\<time>.001

<path> represents the path (drive and possibly directory), which was previously entered into the field
"Path", <database name> stands for the name of the ADONIS database which was backed up, <date>
equals the system date (format: YYYYMMDD) of the day of the backup and <time> the system time
(format: hhmmss) at the moment of the backup (see chap. 1.2, p. 84).
Once the necessary information has been entered, click the OK button to start restoring the ADONIS
database.
It is also possible to restore the ADONIS database from a command line window. Change into the directory in which ADONIS was installed. Then enter the following statement:
adbrest [<database name>] [<user>] [<password>]
[<path>] [<time-stamp>]
[-lang<language code>]

Replace <database name> with the name of the ADONIS database to be restored, <user> with the
name of a user with administration rights on the server and <password> with the password of the
user. Instead of <path> enter the drive and path in which the backup can be found. Replace <timestamp> with the time-stamp shown after the backup and press "Enter" to confirm.
Replace <language code> with the Windows language ID or Windows locale of the corresponding
language (see chap. 2., p. 156) to show the window "Restore ADONIS database" using the selected
language.
Hint: Mind the correct order of the parameters (i.e. database name - user - password - path time-stamp). If you enter fewer than these expected five parameters or invalid parameters
than the window "Restore ADONIS database" (see fig. 56, p. 85) will be shown where you
will be able to make any changes required.
ATTENTION:

The typed language code had to be selected during the ADONIS installation and the ADONIS licence number had to be configured accordingly to
consider this language.

While the restore is running, a status window will inform you of progress
ATTENTION:

While restoring an ADONIS database existing ADONIS databases of the

same name can be over-written! In such cases a query will be displayed for
safety reasons and the user will have to confirm that the existing databases
should be overwritten.

Once the ADONIS database has been successfully restored, an appropriate message will be displayed.
Close the window by clicking the OK button or pressing "Enter".

Database System "Informix"

In order to use the "Informix" database system, an Informix database must first be prepared in which
the ADONIS database can then be created.
Hint: The Informix tools must be used for the preparation of an Informix database.

2.1

Creating an ADONIS Informix Database

Before creating an ADONIS database, please read the Hardware recommendations (see chap. 2.1.1,
p. 87) concerning the buffer space on the hard disk. Additionally ensure that the Software Requirements (see chap. 2.1.2, p. 87) are met.

2.1.1

Hardware Recommendations

Please refer to the hardware recommendations for Informix database.

We recommend a size of at least 30 MB of empty buffer space for the Informix database to be created.

2.1.2

Software Requirements

Server:
The Informix DBMS software (Informix Dynamic Server 7.22 up to 10.0) must be installed on the
server.
Furthermore a user with the name "ADONIS" and the password "BPMS" (capital letters!) must be created. The password must not be changed in the future. Therefore certain system-specific options such
as "User has to change password on first login" (Windows XP/2000/NT) must be deactivated.
Database rights "CONNECT" and "RESOURCE" must be given to the user "ADONIS".
Hint: To authorise the user "ADONIS" in Windows, the user name must be put in apostrophes in the GRANT assignments (e.g. "GRANT RESOURCE TO 'ADONIS';"). Each
GRANT statement must contain a trailing semicolon (";").
Hint: The password for DB login can be changed with the program "ACLOG.EXE" (in directory \TOOLS on the installation CD-ROM). For more details please refer to the documentation in the file "ACLOG for Informix.PDF" (also in directory \TOOLS).
The value of the Informix server configuration parameter "LOCKS" in the file "<Informix
folder>\ETC\ONCONFIG" must be 20000 or higher.
Either the option "Logging buffered" or "Logging unbuffered" should be selected for the Informix database used by ADONIS. It is further recommended that the option "Continuous Logical Log Backup"
should be activated and, if consistent with internal data security conventions, the corresponding
backup device should be set to "NUL" (no Log-backup). For a detailed description of how to prepare
an Informix database please see the appendix "Database setup" (see chap. 3.4.2, p. 171).
Client

BOC Group 2006

page 87

Part IV

As a pre-condition for the setup of the network connection (see chap. 3.4.1, p. 170) the network operating system must be configured for one of the protocols used by Informix and an ODBC data source
has to be created for all clients. The data source must not be longer than 8 characters.
ATTENTION:

Notice for Informix clients version 7.3:

For the installation of Informix clients version 7.3, only the ODBC driver
"INTERSOLV 3.x 32 BIT" is supported. The driver "INFORMIX 2.80 32
BIT" must not be used for the definition of the data source.

An example of the data source configuration is described in the chapter "Configure ODBC data
source" (see chap. 3.4.1.1, p. 170).

Stand-alone
To run ADONIS in stand-alone mode with an Informix database the Informix server and client software
must be installed on the stand-alone computer.
For information concerning a stand-alone installation on a Windows 2000/NT DB server please see
the chapter "Install Loopback connection on Windows 2000/NT" (see chap. 3.4.1.2, p. 171) in the appendix.

Database system: Oracle

The instructions in this chapter relate to Oracle Server database systems (e.g. Oracle8 Server, Oracle7 Server).
To create an ADONIS database, an Oracle database instance (e. g. "ORCL") must be prepared, and
an Oracle network connection must be defined for the database instance.

3.1

Creating an ADONIS Oracle Database

Before creating an ADONIS database, please note the Hardware recommendations (see chap. 3.1.1,
p. 91) and the Software requirements (see chap. 3.1.2, p. 91).

3.1.1

Hardware Recommendations

The space requirements for the data files of the ADONIS database depends on the model type definitions as well as on the number and average size of the models stored. Approx. 400 - 700 MB will be
required for each 1000 models. Some 30 MB are required for an empty ADONIS database.

3.1.2

Software Requirements

Server
Oracle7/8/9i/10g Server must be installed on the computer.
The ADONIS database installation program will be carried out on Windows based computer with installed Oracle Net Client Software ("SQL Net Client" or "Net8 Client"). The connections to the database instance will be created over the Oracle network connection. A description of the configuration of
the Oracle Network is available in the annex "Set-up network connection " (see chap. 3.5.1, p. 173).
Before creating the ADONIS database with the database installation program, an oracle database instance must have been prepared. You can also use an already existing instance. The Oracle database instance has the following configuration requirements:
The initialisation parameter "OPEN_CURSORS" (standard value: 50) must be set to 100 or
higher. A description of how to change this parameter can be found in the appendix 'Change parameter "open_cursors"' (see chap. 3.5.2.1, p. 175).
A user with the name "ADONIS" and the password "BPMS" must be created.
The user ADONIS must get a sufficient part of the default table space assigned to him.
The rights "CONNECT", "CREATE TABLE", "CREATE VIEW", "CREATE TRIGGER" must be assigned to the user ADONIS.
Rollback segments (RBS) must be available in sufficient number and size. For a productive use,
we recommend that at least one RBS is available for each four simultaneous application sessions.
In multi user mode, a minimum RBS size (MINEXTENTS * EXTENTSIZE) of 1 MB should be respected.
Hint: Using the program "ACLOG.EXE" (in the directory \TOOLS on the installation CDROM), you can change the password of the DB login. You can find conditions as well as

BOC Group 2006

page 91

Part IV

instructions, which are relevant to this point, in the documentation in the file "ACLOG for
Oracle.PDF (also in the repertory \TOOLS).
You can only prepare an Oracle database instance with Oracle tools. For this, there are some scripts
available on the ADONIS installation CD (sub directory "dbinfo"). A detailed description is to be found
in the annex "Prepare database instance" (see chap. 3.5.2, p. 174).
Client:
The Oracles software "Oracle Net Client" (SQL Net/Net8/Net9/Net10) must be installed on the Client.
ADONIS uses the interface "Oracle Call Interface" with the run-time library "ociw32.dll".
An Oracle network connection must be defined on the Clients for the Oracle database instance. The
service name cannot contain more than eight symbols. An appropriate description is available in the
annex "Setup Oracle network connection" (see chap. 3.5.1.2, p. 174).
Stand-alone:
If using ADONIS on an Oracle stand-alone Server database system, the previously described settings
for client and server must be set on the stand-alone computer. It is recommended that the "Bequeath"
protocol is used when configuring the Oracle network connection.

3.1.3

Creating an ADONIS Oracle Database

Create an ADONIS database in Oracle, by starting the program "Create ADONIS database" in the
ADONIS program folder.
Once this program has been started, the window "Create ADONIS database" (see fig. 58) appears.

Figure 58: Create ADONIS database (Oracle)

Enter the following information into the corresponding fields in the dialogue window:
Database name:

Enter the name which was chosen when setting up the network connection.

Licence number:

Enter your licence number for the ADONIS database creation. You can
find the licence number together with the customer number on an information sheet that was delivered with the installation kit. Please note that the
licence number MUST be entered exactly as shown - i.e. it is case sensitive.

ADONIS Installation and Database Administration

Database Administration

Database system:

The pre-selected entry "ORACLE" in the field "Database system" does not
need to be changed.
Hint: If you are using more than one database system with ADONIS then a list of all those
database systems will be found in this listbox.

Single-Sign-on installation: Select whether the ADONIS database should support Single-Sign-on.
"Without Single-Sign-on" creates a new ADONIS database without Single-Sign-on functionality.
"With Single-Sign-on" creates a new ADONIS database supporting Single-Sign-on functionality.
"Install now" extends an existing ADONIS database (created with
ADONIS 3.5x or higher) to support Single-Sign-on. In addition functionality in the ADONIS User management in the ADONIS Administration Toolkit (temporarily deletion of ADONIS users, show the date of last login of
ADONIS users) will be enabled.
Single-Sign-on type:

Within this field please select the type of user administration in your system environment.
"WINNT" has to be selected when the domain control and the user administration in the Windows network are not based on an Active Directory
system (i.e. a pre Windows 2000, primary Windows NT domain controller
is being used).
"Active-Directory" has to be selected when the domain control and the
user administration in the Windows network are based on an Active Directory system.

Create table:

determines if tables and other database objects will be created over the
program (marked check-box) or if they will be taken for granted and so directly started with the initialisation of the database (check-box not
checked).

Hint: Please pay attention to the software prerequisites in order to use Single-Sign-on
functionality in ADONIS.
Hint: If the check-box "Create tables" is not activated, then the ADONIS database objects
must previously have been created per SQL (DDL) script. For this, the file "adonis37.ddl"
is provided in the sub directory "dbinfo" of the installation CD. This type of installation installs the database objects initially without the functionality allowing to create operating
system users in ADONIS and use them to login to ADONIS. To enable the Single-Sign-on
functionality with this type of installation the program "Create ADONISDB" has to be run
with the Single-Sign-on installation set to "Single-Sign-on ONLY".
Hint: If the check-box "Create tables" is not activated, then the ADONIS database objects
must previously have been created per SQL (DDL) script. For this, the file "adonis37.ddl"
is provided in the sub directory "dbinfo" of the installation CD.
Once all necessary entries have been made, click on the OK button to start installing the ADONIS database.
It is also possible to install the ADONIS database from a command line window. Change to the directory in which ADONIS has been installed and enter the following statement:
adbinst [-d<database name>] [-l<licence number>]
[-ct+ | -ct-]
[-i<Single-Sign-on installation>] [-y<Single-Sign-on type>]
[-lang<language code>]

Replace <database name> with the name of the ADONIS database to be created and <licence
number> with the licence number delivered.
BOC Group 2006

page 93

Part IV

With the parameter -ct it is possible to distinguish between the case of creating the table and other database objects by the program (-ct+ or no entry) and only initialising the database as the table and
other database objects are already defined ("-ct-").
Replace <Single-Sign-on installation> with "SSO" to create a new ADONIS database supporting
Single-Sign-on, "NO_SSO" to create a new ADONIS database without Single-Sign-on functionality or
"ONLY_SSO" to extend an existing ADONIS database with Single-Sign-on functionality.
Replace <Single-Sign-on type> with "WINNT", if the domain control and user administration in the
Windows network are not based on an Active Directory system (i.e. a pre Windows 2000, primary
Windows NT domain controller is being used) or "AD" if the domain control and user administration in
the Windows network are based on an Active Directory system.
Replace <language code> with the Windows language ID or Windows locale of the corresponding
language (see chap. 2., p. 156) to show the window "Create ADONIS database" using the selected
language.
Hint: If you enter fewer parameters than expected or invalid parameters, the window "Create
ADONIS database" (see fig. 58, p. 92) will be shown and you will be able to make the required changes.
ATTENTION:

The typed language code had to be selected during the ADONIS installation and the ADONIS licence number had to be configured accordingly to
consider this language.

During the database installation, a status window will be displayed which will give some information
about its progress.
Once the installation has been successfully completed, a message window will be displayed.
Hint: During the installation of an ADONIS database the ADONIS BPMS Application Library
with the standard user "Admin" and the standard user group "ADONIS" will be automatically installed. A detailed description of the ADONIS BPMS Application Library can be
found in the BPMS modelling method manual.

Database System "Microsoft SQL Server"

When using the database system "Microsoft SQL Server" a MS SQL Server database must first be
prepared in order to then create an ADONIS database (see chap. 1.1.3, p. 79).
Hint: The MS SQL Server tools must be used in the preparation of a MS SQL Server database (e.g. "Enterprise Manager").

4.1

Install ADONIS SQL Server database

Pay attention to the Hardware recommendations (see chap. 4.1.1, p. 95) and software requirements
(see chap. 4.1.2, p. 95) before you start with the creation of an ADONIS database (see chap. 4.1.3,
p. 96).

4.1.1

Hardware Recommendations

The Hardware recommendations for the server result from the requirements of the database system
MS SQL Server and can be taken from the installation manual of the developer.
At least 50 MB memory space are required for the data files of the MS SQL Server database prepared
for ADONIS. The memory space for data files grows with the number of models stored. Approx. 400 700 MB will be required for each 1000 models, depending on the definition of the modelling method
and on the average model size.

4.1.2

Software Requirements

Server:
Microsoft SQL Server (Version 7.0/2000/2005) must be installed on the server.
The font settings of the Master database should contain a case-sensitive sort order.
Hint: The selected font as well as the sort order are valid for all databases administrated by
the MS SQL Server-Instance. A change is possible afterwards, however for already existing databases, this will cost considerable effort (see MS SQL Server documentation
about "Restore MASTER database").
One of the options "Standard" or "Mixed", or "SQL Server and Windows", must be set for the MS SQL
Server configuration parameter "Security mode of server during the login". The setting "WindowsNT integrated" or "Only Windows" will not be supported.
The value of the Server configuration parameters "user connections" should be increased to a value
equalling at least twice the number of simultaneous ADONIS users. Two database connections will be
maintained per ADONIS session.
The size of the database for temporary tables "tempdb" must be at least 4 MB.
An empty SQL Server database is needed to run the ADONIS database installation. Its size depends
on the quantity of the modelling project. 400-700 MB memory space will be required for 1000 models.
The size of the transaction protocol of the database should be at least 15 MB for the multi user operating mode.

BOC Group 2006

page 95

Part IV

We recommend, to activate the database option "Truncate log at checkpoint" or to select the restoring model ""Simple" (MS SQL Server 2000) for the database.
An MS SQL Server user account (Login-ID) with the name "ADONIS" and the password "BPMS" will
be required. The authentication option "SQL Server Authentication" must be selected for the user account.
The "ADONIS" user must have the rights "Create table" and "Create view" for the database.
Hint: Using the program "ACLOG.EXE" (in the repertory \TOOLS on the installation-CDROM), the password of the DB login can be changed. You will find the conditions and the
instructions for this in the documentation in the file "ACLOG for SQL Server.PDF (also in
repertory \TOOLS).
A detailed description of the steps to prepare a database (see chap. 3.6.1.1, p. 178), as well as exemplary instructions to prepare a database for MS SQL Server 2000 (see p. 179) are available in the annex.
Client:
An SQL Server ODBC driver version 2.65 or higher must be installed for the client
An ODBC data source must be configured on each client for the ADONIS database.
"SQL Server Authentication" (valid for ODBC driver from V.3.50) must be selected as authentication
method for the data source.
When using MS SQL Server Version 6.5, the data source option "Create temporary stored procedures
for prepared queries" must be deactivated.
A detailed description of the ODBC database source configuration (see chap. 3.6.1.2, p. 183) is available in the annex.
Stand-alone:
To run ADONIS in a stand-alone mode with a database system "Microsoft SQL Server", the database
must be prepared and the ODBC data source must be configured on the stand-alone computer.
Hint: The software package "ADONIS with MSDE Runtime" is available for the stand-alone
operating mode. It contains an MS SQL Server based DBMS Runtime with Microsoft
Data Engine (MSDE). The package also contains a tool for easier database administration.

4.1.3

Creating an ADONIS SQL Server Database

Once a database has been prepared, the ADONIS database can be created via the program "Create
ADONIS DB" (see fig. 59).

Part IV

Single-Sign-on type:

Within this field please select the type of user administration in your system environment.
"WINNT" has to be selected when the domain control and the user administration in the Windows network are not based on an Active Directory
system (i.e. a pre Windows 2000, primary Windows NT domain controller
is being used).
"Active-Directory" has to be selected when the domain control and the
user administration in the Windows network are based on an Active Directory system.

Hint: Please pay attention to the software prerequisites in order to use Single-Sign-on
functionality in ADONIS.
Once all necessary entries have been updated, click on the OK button to start the ADONIS database
installation.

It is also possible to extend the ADONIS database from a command line window. Change into the directory in which ADONIS has been installed and enter the following statement:
adbinst [-d<database name>] [-l<licence number>]
[-iONLY_SSO] [-y<Single-Sign-on type>]
[-lang<language code>]

Replace <database name> with the name of the ADONIS database to be created and <licence
number> with the licence number delivered.
Replace <Single-Sign-on type> with "WINNT", if the domain control and user administration in the
Windows network are not based on an Active Directory system (i.e. a pre Windows 2000, primary
Windows NT domain controller is being used) or "AD" if the domain control and user administration in
the Windows network are based on an Active Directory system.
Replace <language code> with the Windows language ID or Windows locale of the corresponding
language (see chap. 2., p. 156) to show the window "Create ADONIS database" using the selected
language.
Hint: If you enter fewer parameters than expected or invalid parameters, the window "Create
ADONIS database" (see fig. 72, p. 105) will be shown and you will be able to make the
required changes.
ATTENTION:

The typed language code had to be selected during the ADONIS installation and the ADONIS licence number had to be configured accordingly to
consider this language.

While the ADONIS database is being created a status window will inform you about its progress.
Once the installation has been successfully completed an appropriate message will be shown.

1.1

Instructions for ADONIS installation in a Client/Server

environment

Within this chapter you will find instructions to install ADONIS in a Client/Server environment including
the database installation steps for the following database management systems (DBMS):
DB2 (see chap. 1.1.1, p. 146)
Informix (see chap. 1.1.2, p. 146)
Oracle (see chap. 1.1.3, p. 147)
Microsoft SQL Server (see chap. 1.1.4, p. 147)

1.1.1

DB2

For the installation of ADONIS using the database management system "DB2" in a Client/Server environment it is recommended to proceed with the following steps:
1.

Prepare DBMS environment (see chap. 3.1.1, p. 162)

2.

Install ADONIS Server (see chap. 2.2, p. 48)

3.

Install ADONIS Client (see chap. 2.3, p. 53)

4.

Create ADONIS system user (see chap. 1.1.2, p. 78)

5.

Create ADONIS database (see chap. 1.1.4, p. 82)

Hint: Instead of creating the ADONIS DB2 database during the ADONIS installation you may
alternatively prepare a DB2 database (see chap. 3.1.2, p. 164) and then create the
ADONIS database within that prepared database (see chap. 1.1.3, p. 79).

1.1.2

Informix

For the installation of ADONIS using the database management system "Informix" in a Client/Server
environment it is recommended to proceed with the following steps:

Database Administration Appendix

The Database Administration Appendix provides additional information on the following database systems:
DB2
-

general (see chap. 3.1, p. 162)

Windows XP/2000/NT - Stand-alone (see chap. 3.2, p. 169)

Windows ME/98/95 - Stand-alone (see chap. 3.3, p. 170)

INFORMIX (see chap. 3.4, p. 170)

ORACLE (see chap. 3.5, p. 173)
Microsoft SQL Server (see chap. 3.6, p. 178)
ATTENTION:

When creating or preparing a database instance manually, make sure that

they are created with a case-sensitive font.

Hint: You can find more information about the preparation of databases for ADONIS in the
PDF file, which is included on the ADONIS installation CD in the repertory "dbinfo".

3.1

DB2

The Database Administration Appendix for DB2 contains the following information:
Setting up network connections (see chap. 3.1.1, p. 162)
Database setup (see chap. 3.1.2, p. 164)
Recommended parameters for database configuration (see chap. 3.1.3, p. 166)
Update catalogue statistics (see chap. 3.1.4, p. 166)
Re-Organization of an ADONIS database (see chap. 3.1.5, p. 167)
ADONIS database tables (see chap. 3.1.6, p. 168)
DB2 for Windows XP/2000/NT - Stand-alone (see chap. 3.2, p. 169)
DB2 for Windows ME/98/95 - Stand-alone (see chap. 3.3, p. 170)

3.1.1

Setting up network connections

The network operating system must be configured to support the network protocol used (e.g. TCP/IP)
- i.e. a network connection must exist.
The network connection must be established both on the server (see chap. 3.1.1.1, p. 163) and the
specific clients (see chap. 3.1.1.2, p. 163).
Hint: DB2 administration rights are needed to set up network connection on both server and
client.

page 162

ADONIS Installation and Database Administration

Appendix

3.1.1.1

Setting up network connections on the server

Hint: Depending on the DB2 version, the server platform and the environment found at the
time of the DB2 installation, the configuration steps described in this section will be automatically carried out by the DB2 installation program during the DB2 installation. That is
why usually no or only a few detail adjustments are required regarding the network settings described here.
1.

The DB2 environment variable (or the database registry entry) DB2COMM determines which kind
of protocol support will be activated while starting the DB2 management software. (The assignment of DB2COMM can be output by the command "db2set".) Therefore DB2COMM must have a
corresponding entry for the network protocol used.
Example:
DB2COMM = npipe,tcpip,netbios

Once the computer has been rebooted, this entry ensures the support of Named Pipes, TCP/IP
and NetBIOS connections.
2.

Similarly, the corresponding database manager configuration parameter (e.g. SVCENAME for
TCP/IP, NNAME for NetBIOS) must be updated.

Examples of the configuration of a server network connection (Windows):

Configuration of a TCP/IP-Server access for DB2 Version 2.1 on Windows XP/2000/NT:
Hint: The configuration described in this section will usually be carried out by the DB2 installation program.
1.

The following two lines must be inserted into the system configuration file "<NT directory>\System32\etc\services":
db2cdb2 50000/tcp
db2idb2 50001/tcp

2.

Carry out the command line "db2set DB2COMM", to check if the entry "TCPIP" is contained in the
list.

3.

By updating the corresponding database management configuration parameter, DB2 gets to know
the TCP/IP service name. Therefore the following statement must be executed in a DB2 shellwindow:
db2 UPDATE DATABASE MANAGER CONFIGURATION USING SVCENAME db2service

4.

The DB2 service must be re-booted after a change.

Both service names ("db2cdb2", "db2idb2") can be freely chosen, though, locally, they have to be
unique. The figures within the names stand for the IP port numbers, to which the service names are
mapped. The first one can be freely chosen, with the restriction that it is not used by another network
service within the same Server. To get the second port number, increase the former by one. The same
pair of port numbers must be defined on the client (see "Setting up network connections on the Client").

3.1.1.2

Catalogue DB2 server as a node

The DB2 Server must be catalogued on the Client as a node. This can be done either with the DB2command shell or the program "Client-configuration" within the DB2 program folder.

BOC Group 2006

page 163

Part V

Examples of the configuration of network connections on the Client's computer:

In the following examples the DB2 command shell is used to catalogue a node for TCP/IP and NetBIOS connections:
Providing access for a Client to a DB2-Server using TCP/IP:
1.

The following two lines must be added to the file "...\ETC\SERVICES":

db2cdb2 50000/tcp
db2idb2 50001/tcp

2.

With the subsequent statement in the DB2-command shell the DB2 manager is catalogued as a
node:
CATALOG TCPIP NODE adosvr REMOTE db2svr SERVER db2cdb2

ad 1.: The port number defined for "db2cdb2" must correspond to the port number specified for
the DB2 Service on the server.
ad 2.: The DB2 Manager will be defined as a node with the name "adosvr" by the statement. The
node name will be used later on when cataloguing databases. The DNS/WINS name of the server
computer is "db2svr".
Providing access for a Client to a DB2-Server using NetBIOS:
With the DB2 command shell, the DB2 Manager will be catalogued as a node by the following statement:
CATALOG NETBIOS NODE adosvr REMOTE db2svr ADAPTER 0

In the example, a node with the name "adosvr" is defined. The name will be used later on when cataloguing databases. The network name of the Server is "db2svr". As a rule the number of the adapter is
0 ("ADAPTER <adapter number>").

3.1.2

Database Set-up

Using the ADONIS DB installation program, ADONIS-DB2 databases can be automatically created
(Option "Create New Database"). In this case, apart from setting up the network connections
(see chap. 3.1.1, p. 162), no additional preparatory work has to be done.
Alternatively it is possible to initialise an ADONIS database in an existing (empty) DB2 database. Below you can find a description of how such an empty database can be created and prepared for the
ADONIS database installation:
Log into the DB-Server using a user account with DB2 system administrator rights. In most cases
the local system administrator also serves as a DB2-system administrator.
Create a new DB2-database with the following statement
CREATE DATABASE ...

in a DB2 command shell interpreter.

Set the database configuration parameters according to the expected scale of the application
scenario (number of users, amount and size of models, etc.). A list of recommended database
configuration parameters (see chap. 3.1.3, p. 166) provides you with support for this task.
Create and bind CLI-packages (see chap. 3.1.2.2, p. 165). This step is redundant for DB2 Version
5.
Catalogue the new database (see chap. 3.1.2.1, p. 165) on the client, from which the ADONIS database installation program should be started. Later on, you will have to carry out this step on all
Client computers.

page 164

ADONIS Installation and Database Administration

Appendix

3.1.2.1

Catalogue DB2 Databases

A remote ADONIS database can be "made known" at the client computer by cataloguing the database
at the client. An ADONIS database has to be catalogued in the following cases:
Before creating an ADONIS database within a prepared DB2 database from a remote computer,
the prepared database must be catalogued on this client.
Before the first connection with an ADONIS application to a remote ADONIS database.
Hint: If the ADONIS database installation program was executed with the option "Create
New Database" activated, the new database created will have been automatically catalogued on the executing client's computer.
By following the steps below, a database can be catalogued on the client:
1.

Log into the DB-Server as a DB2-system administrator. In most cases the local system administrator (belonging to the "Administrator" user group on Windows XP/2000/NT) also serves as a
DB2-system administrator.

2.

Catalogue the database by using the following statement in the DB2-command shell interpreter:
CATALOG DATABASE <database name> AT NODE <node name>

<Database name> should be replaced with the name of the existing database on the server. Replace
<node name> with the name of the catalogued DB2 node, which identifies the server. (See Catalogue
DB2 server as a node (see chap. 3.1.1.2, p. 163).
Hint: Alternatively it is also possible to use the graphic-based program "Client configuration"
within the DB2-program folder. For more detailed information see the corresponding DB2guide.

3.1.2.2

Binding of CLI Packages

Hint: If the ADONIS database installation program is carried out with the option "Create new
database", no explicit binding of packages will be required.
It is the same when the DB2 version 5 is used by both the client and the server.
ADONIS applications use the interface "DB2 Call Level Interface" (CLI) for database access. The binding of CLI-packages must be executed for each database once, before connecting the ADONIS application with the database for the first time.
The following procedure is recommended for the binding of CLI packages:
Using the DB2 command shell a connection to the database used for the ADONIS database installation will be established. For this connection a user account with "SYSADM" or "DBADM"
rights will be used.
The statement
BIND <db2path>\BND\@db2cli.lst GRANT ADONIS

must be executed in the DB2 command shell. Please ensure, that the file name used for bundling
("db2cli.lst" in our example) has an "@" sign prefixed.

Example:
db2 connect to adodb user ADMIN using PASSWORD
db2 bind C:\SQLLIB\BND\@db2cli.lst grant ADONIS

BOC Group 2006

page 165

Part V

In the current example a connection to the database "adodb" is established, using the administration
account "ADMIN" with the password "PASSWORD". Through the BIND-statement the CLI-packages
are tied to the database and the user "ADONIS" is enabled to execute them.

3.1.3

Recommended parameters for database configuration

The following database configuration parameters are set during the automatic creation of an ADONIS
database with the ADONIS database installation program (see Table 21). The values of the parameters before the database installation can be found in the column "Standard":

3.1.4

Update Catalogue Statistics

Hint: The update of database catalogue statistics is also possible through the menu "Extras"
within the components "Library Management" and "Model Management" within the
ADONIS Administration Toolkit.
After importing application libraries or a considerable number of models, as well as after certain time
intervals and after numerous models have been created or deleted, the catalogue statistics of the database should be updated.
Catalogue statistics include statistical data concerning the distribution of table and index values, which
are used by the database system for the optimisation of database queries. Updating the catalogue statistics can lead to more efficient execution times and as a consequence to reduced response times
within the ADONIS applications.
Essential service improvements can be reached through re-calculating statistics, particularly after the
initial import of libraries and/or models into an ADONIS database.
Using DB2, the service "RUNSTATS" (RUN STATISTICS) can be used for this purpose.
page 166

ADONIS Installation and Database Administration

Appendix

The steps below show how to update the catalogue statistics of the database:
Connect to the ADONIS database by entering the following statement in the DB2-command shell interpreter:
CONNECT TO <adonis-db> USER <user> USING <password>

With the following sequence of statements, the catalogue statistics for all relevant tables and indices
of an ADONIS database are updated:

It is recommended to create a script file with the above-mentioned content and to edit this file with the
following indication after the connection to the database has been created in the DB2 command shell
interpreter:
db2 -f <file-name>

Replace <file-name> with the name of the script file.

3.1.5

Re-organising an ADONIS Database

The DB2 service "REORG" de-fragments and re-organises the physical representation of tables and
the data within these tables to reduce the amount of I/O actions needed for queries. This measure is
recommended after a substantial amount of insertion, deletion and update statements. Please note,
that this measure should be run less frequently than the update of catalogue statistics
(see chap. 3.1.4, p. 166) (i.e. at much greater time intervals).
BOC Group 2006

page 167

Part V

Your DB2 system administration handbook will give further suggestions as to when a re-organisation
of table contents is advisable.
The following approach can be used to re-organise the contents of ADONIS database tables:
Ensure that no ADONIS application is connected to the database.
Start the DB2-command shell interpreter and connect to the ADONIS database as a databaseadministrator.
Create a script-file, with the content as listed below, and execute it with the statement:
db2 -f <file-name>

replacing <file-name> with the name of the script-file.

DB2 for Windows XP/2000/NT (Stand-alone)

In this chapter the preparation of a DB2 stand-alone database system for Windows NT as the basis for
an ADONIS DB installation is described. For stand-alone installations of ADONIS for DB2 the DB2
versions 2.1.1, 2.1.2 and 5 (Personal Edition) may be used.
The following approach is recommended:
1.

Create two new users within the Windows NT user administration:

-

Assign the name "ADONIS" and the password "BPMS" to one user. This password must not
be changed afterwards. Therefore deactivate the option "User has to change password at the
next login" and activate the option "Password never expires".

Assign a name with the maximum length of eight characters to the second user (e.g. "admin")
and assign this name to the local user group "administrators". If such an administration account already exists, it can be used instead. The log-in account for the DB2-system administrator is needed for the login dialogue of the ADONIS DB installation program.

2.

After disconnecting, re-establish the connection with the second user-name (e.g. "admin", see
above). Now enter the name of the local computer in the field "Domain".

3.

Start the DB2 Stand-alone installation.

4.

Re-boot your computer and again log in as an administrator with the second user (e.g. "admin").

5.

Open the NT program "Services" in the folder "Settings", and start the services "DB2 - DB2" and when using version 2.x - "DB2-security services".

Now you can go ahead with the ADONIS database installation (see chap. 1.1, p. 78) and specify as
SYSADM user the administrator user previously defined.

DB2 for Windows 95/98 - Stand-alone

The remarks in this chapter are valid for DB2-Stand-alone installations, including versions 2.1.1, and
higher
The following steps should be executed for an ADONIS DB installation:
1.

Get into Windows specifying the user name and password. If necessary, execute the action "Sign
out user" in the menu "Start" to obtain an appropriate login window. The specified user account
will be automatically created, if it does not already exist. The user name cannot contain more than
eight characters.

2.

Install the DB2-software.

3.

Re-boot your computer and log in with the user account, which was used to execute the DB2 installation.

4.

Open a command prompt window and start the DB2 server with the statement "db2start"

Now you continue with the ADONIS database installation program (see chap. 1.1, p. 78) and specify
user the user account which was used to execute the DB2 installation as SYSADM.

Informix

The Database Administration Appendix for Informix contains the following information:
Setting up network connections (see chap. 3.4.1, p. 170)
Database set-up (see chap. 3.4.2, p. 171)
Update catalogue statistics (see chap. 3.4.3, p. 172)
ADONIS database tables (see chap. 3.4.4, p. 172)

3.4.1

Setting up network connections

A necessary pre-requisite is that the network operating system supports the network protocol used
(e.g. TCP/IP).
During an Informix-Client installation the environment attributes "INFORMIXDIR" and
"INFORMIXSERVER" are only defined for the currently logged in user. Those attributes must be set
explicitly for other users on the client PC. The tool "Informix SetNet32" (register "Environment") can be
used for this purpose.

3.4.1.1

Configure ODBC data source

To configure a data source use the program "ODBC32" or "Data Sources (ODBC)" from the folder
"Control panel" or "Control panel / Administrative tools" respectively:
1.

Start the data source configuration program and switch to the register "User DNS" (saved in the
user profile) or "System DNS" (stored in the profile of the computer). Click on "Add" to start the
configuration of a new data source.

2.

Select the ODBC driver "Informix-CLI 2.5" (Informix version 7.2x) or "INTERSOLV 3.x 32 BIT" (Informix 7.3x) from the list and press the "Finish" button.
Note for Informix Clients version 7.3: The driver "INFORMIX 2.80 32 BIT" must not be used.

page 170

ADONIS Installation and Database Administration

Appendix

3.

Enter the unique alias name (max. 8 characters) in the field "Data Source Name" This name will
be used later during the ADONIS login. Enter the name of the prepared Informix database in the
field "Database Name".

4.

Fill the values in the fields "Host Name", "Service Name", "Server Name" and "Protocol Type" in
the register "Connection" (or after clicking the "Advanced" when using the driver version 2.5) with
the values defined already in the program "INFORMIX SetNet32". Leave other fields with default
settings.
Example:
Host Name: ifxsrv
Service Name: ifx_port
Server Name: ol_ifxsrv
Protocol Type: onsoctcp

In the example a computer with the network name "ifxsrv" is addressed. In the file
"%WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\services" the service name "ifx_port" is mapped on the port
number used by Informix. The name of the Informix server instance is "ol_ifxsrv" and "onsoctcp" is
used as Informix network protocol.

3.4.1.2

Install Loopback Connection (Windows XP/2000/NT)

For a stand-alone installation of ADONIS with Informix, a loop-back connection must be available. It
can be checked by typing "ping <Name of computer>" (replace <Name of computer> with the real
name) in the command line. In case the connection fails, it can be installed by carrying out the following steps:
Click on "Network" in the directory "Control panel".
Select "Connect directly with network".
Select "MS Loopback Adapter" in the selection box for network cards.
Select "802.3".
Select "TCP/IP" in the protocol selection field.
e.g. enter following values in the fields of IP address:
IP address for Loopback: "10.0.0.1"
Subnet Mask: "255.0.0.0"

3.4.2

Database Preparation

Hint: An Informix database can only be set up on a Server.

Within the administration tool "Command Center" choose the "Space Explorer" and create a new
Dataspace.
Now use the tool "Database Explorer", to create a new database and assign the previously created
Dataspace to the database.
Either the option "buffered" or "not buffered" must be selected for "Logging". It is recommended that
automatic saving of the transaction protocol is enabled. Therefore start the tool "Backup and Restore"
in the "Command Center" within the tools menu and select and execute the option "Start Continuous
Logical Log Backup".
If no data security measures are violated the Log-device should be set "NUL" so that protocol backups
that are performed continuously cannot cause capacity problems. This can be done with the Informixtool "ISM Setup": After starting the tool from the Informix start menu select the register "Logical Log
Backup" and select the entry "None" from the list box "Backup To". Now, close the tool and re-start the
Informix database Server. For more detailed information see your Informix manuals.
BOC Group 2006

page 171

Part V

Start the Informix tool "SQL Editor" and select the new database from the list box "Server/Database".
Grant the necessary rights to the user "ADONIS" by inputting:
GRANT CONNECT TO 'ADONIS';
GRANT RESOURCE TO 'ADONIS';

Hint: Please ensure, that the string "ADONIS" is enclosed with simple quotation marks
('ADONIS'). Each GRANT statement must contain a trailing semicolon (";").
A database with a standard size of 20 MB is created. The size can be increased on demand using the
tool "Space Explorer".
Hint: It is recommended that a database of at least 30 MB should be created.

3.4.3

Update Catalogue Statistics

Hint: Catalogue statistics can also be updated within the "Library Management" and "Model
Management" components within the ADONIS Administration Toolkit.
After the importing of application libraries or a considerable number of models, as well as after certain
time intervals and after numerous models have been created or deleted, the catalogue statistics
should be updated.
Catalogue statistics include statistical data concerning the distribution of table and index values, which
is used for the globalisation of database queries. Updated catalogue statistics can lead to more efficient execution times and as a consequence to reduced response times within the ADONIS applications.
This is particularly true after the initial import of libraries and/or models into an ADONIS database.
Procedure to update catalogue statistics with Informix:
Start the Informix-tool "SQL Editor" on the Server.
Select the ADONIS database in the list box "Server/Database". It is possible that a login window
is opened. In this case enter the name and password of a (local) system administrator for the
Server.
Execute the application "UPDATE STATISTICS".

Oracle

The Database administration appendix for the database system Oracle contains the following information:
Set-up network connections (see chap. 3.5.1, p. 173)
Database instance preparation (see chap. 3.5.2, p. 174)
Recommended database configuration parameters (see chap. 3.5.3, p. 176)
Update catalogue statistics (see chap. 3.5.4, p. 176)
ADONIS database tables (see chap. 3.5.5, p. 177)

3.5.1

Set-up Network Connections

A necessary pre-requisite is the correct configuration of the network operating system with the network
protocols supported by Oracle (e.g. TCP/IP, SPX).
Hint: The procedure described within this manual is one of several possibilities for the configuration of "Oracle SQLNet" ("Oracle Net8"). Please see your ORACLE network manual
for more detailed information (e.g. possible use of name Servers to resolve servicenames).

3.5.1.1

Server

Hint: It is assumed, that the Oracle SQLNet (or Net8) server component has already been
configured to support the network protocol (TCP/IP, SPX etc.), which is to be used (e.g.
all protocol specific entries are included in the file "TNSNAMES.ORA"). For common protocols (TCP/IP) this pre-condition is fulfilled by the ORACLE-Server installation program.
To configure an ORACLE database instance for access from a remote Client, the process "TNSListener" must recognise this database. Therefore an entry for the ORACLE-instance must be added to
the file "<ORACLE_HOME>\NETWORK\ADMIN\LISTENER.ORA" (<ORACLE_HOME> represents
the Oracle-directory).
Example excerpt from the file "LISTENER.ORA":
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = ORCL)
)

BOC Group 2006

page 173

Part V

(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = ADON)
)
)
PASSWORDS_LISTENER = (oracle)

In this example a new SID_DESC term has been inserted to add an instance with the SID "ADON" into
the SID_LIST.
To make the changes effective, either restart the "TNSListener" or execute the following statements:
C:\> LSNRCTL
LSNRCTL> SET PASSWORD <password>
LSNRCTL> RELOAD

Hint: Routinely the LSNRCTL-password (<password>) is "ORACLE".

3.5.1.2

Define Oracle Network Service Name

To catalogue the Oracle database instance used for ADONIS on the client, an Oracle network service
must have been defined. The service name will be used in the ADONIS login dialogue, to identify the
database.
There are various possibilities to define an Oracle service name. This installation will be described
here with the Oracle Net configuration program "SQLNet Easy Configuration" or "Net8 Easy Configuration" or "Net8 Configuration Assistant":
1.

Start the configuration program from the menu "Start", sub-menu "Oracle...". Select the option
"Add Database Alias".

2.

Define a max. eight characters long Alias name for the database.

3.

Select the network protocol used (e.g. TCP/IP, SPX). For remote connections, this network protocol is, in most of the cases, TCP/IP. You can use the protocol "Bequeath" for local work on Oracle
server ("Stand-alone").

4.

Depending on the protocol selection, the address parameters of the server computer as well as
the SID of the ORACLE database instance must be specified.

5.

Confirm all entries and close the configuration program.

Then the configuration program will update a file called "tnsnames.ora" in the Oracle sub directory
"network\admin" or "net80\admin". This file can be used for the distribution of the service name definition to several clients.
An alternative possibility for the service name distribution is to set the registry key "TNS_ADMIN" in
the subdirectory "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oracle" of the registry database, in order to refer to a central Oracle Net Admin directory. A detailed description of the processes are available in the
Oracle administrator manual.

3.5.2

Database Instance Preparation

An available ORACLE database instance can be used for the ADONIS database. However, note that
ADONIS is not a transaction intensive application (OLTP). The application has to be assigned to the
category "Decision supporting system" (DSS). An instance configuration optimised for OLTP is therefore less appropriate for the administration of an ADONIS database. In this case, it is recommended to
create an ORACLE database instance specific to ADONIS. The recommended database configuration
parameters (see chap. 3.5.3, p. 176) for the initialisation file can be found below.

page 174

ADONIS Installation and Database Administration

Appendix

A small amount of settings are described in this chapter. For parameters that are not mentioned, the
Oracle preset values can be taken. The values described within this chapter are recommendations
and may be adapted to the specific environment.
Font:
The character set "WE8ISO8859P15" is recommended for the English version.
Hint: The character set must be specified at the time of creating the database.
Initialisation parameter:
The value of the initialisation parameter "OPEN CURSORS" (standard value 50) must be increased to a minimum value of 100. This should be set in the initialisation file of the database instance, so that the changes remain after the system is rebooted. A detailed description of how
the parameter can be changed can be found in the chapter "Change parameter "open cursors""
(see chap. 3.5.2.1, p. 175).
Table space for user data:
The following settings in the "Oracle Storage Manager" are recommended for the data-file of the
table-space.
CREATE TABLESPACE ADOUSR_DATA
DATAFILE '<data file path>'
SIZE 50M AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 50M MAXSIZE 500M
DEFAULT STORAGE (INITIAL 50K NEXT 200K MINEXTENTS
PCTINCREASE 10)

MAXEXTENTS

UNLIMITED

The maximum size (MAXSIZE) of the data file depends on the size of the modelling project.
Approx. 400 - 700 MB are needed per 1000 objects.
The DEFAULT STORAGE setting of the table space defines the assignment of physical memory
for the tables and indices of the ADONIS database.
Oracle-user "ADONIS":
A user with the login "ADONIS" and the password "BPMS" must exist. This password must not
be changed. Furthermore the Oracle Roles "CONNECT", as well as the rights "CREATE
TABLE", "CREATE VIEW", "CREATE TRIGGER" must be assigned to this user.
An appropriate part of the user data table space must be assigned to the user ADONIS.
Rollback Segment:
Rollback segments with a minimum size of 1 MB and an accessible size of at least 20 MB are
required for the import and deletion of larger models in multi user mode. The number of Rollback
segments should model itself on the maximum number of simultaneous application sessions.
Example:
CREATE PUBLIC ROLLBACK SEGMENT ADO_RB1
TABLESPACE ADORBS_DATASTORAGE (INITIAL 200K NEXT 200K MINEXTENTS 5 MAXEXTENTS
121)

3.5.2.1

Database instance preparation with script template

The script templates for different platforms or Oracle versions: aprpsid.sql for Oracle 7.3/8.0 for Windows, aprpsidx.sql for Oracle for Unix derivates, aprporcl8i.sql for Oracle8i and so on are to be found
in the directory "dbinfo" of the ADONIS installation CD for the preparation of an Oracle database instance for the ADONIS database installation.
1.

Adapt parameter "open_cursors":

The initialisation file of the Oracle instance (e.g. c:\oracle\admin\adodb\pfile\init.ora) must contain
the line "open_cursors = 100" (or with a higher value). After a change of the initialisation file, the
Oracle instance must be started again. (For Windows XP/2000/NT, the Oracle instance must be
started again with the program "Services" in the folder "Control panel" (or folder "Control panel /
Administration") - Service name "OracleService<SID>" .)

BOC Group 2006

page 175

Part V

2.

Adapt script file "aprpxxx.sql":

Should the table spaces for user, temporary or Rollback Segment files already be available, the
appropriate "CREATE TABLESPACE" indications can be removed. In the resting lines, replace
"<ORACLE_DATA>" by the appropriate data directory (e.g. "c:\oracle\oradata\adodb").
Moreover, "<SID>" must be replaced by the SID or another string. As a result, unique file names
must be created.
Should Rollback segments already be available in sufficient number, then the "CREATE
ROLLBACK SEGMENT" statement can be removed. Conversely, statements for further rollback
segments should be added, if you expect a larger amount of users (recommendation: (maximum
number of simultaneous user number of rollback segments) <= 4).
If "CREATE TABLESPACE" statements have been removed or changed, then it is possible that
the terms "DEFAULT TABLESPACE", "TEMPORARY TABLESPACE" or "QUOTA" of the "ALTER
USER" statements have to be accordingly changed for the user definition.

3.

Execute script:
Start an Oracle-SQL tool (e.g. "SQL Plus"). Connect to the prepared Oracle instance using a user
account with DBA rights (e.g. "system", pre-set password "manager"). Execute the script file using
the command "start <Path>\aprpxxx.sql".

3.5.3

Recommended Database Configuration Parameters

The settings specified here are optional. The effects on the way of performance caused by configuration changes, depend on the specified Hardware environment and platform of the oracle installation.
The Oracle pre-settings are sufficient in most of the cases.
The following configuration parameters of an Oracle initialisation file will be specified for example for
an application environment of five clients and Oracle server on Windows XP/2000/NT as orientation
help. The pre-settings are recommended for the parameters that are not listed here:
db_block_buffers = 550
log_buffer = 32768
transactions_per_rollback_segment = 4
open_cursors = 100

As far as possible, Redo Log files and data files should be placed on physically separated drives in
order to improve the input/output performance of the system.
If you expect a larger number of simultaneous application users for the utilisation, then a Multi
Threaded Server (MTS) configuration of the Oracle instance used can be of advantage.

3.5.4

Update Catalogue Statistics

Hint: The update of catalogue statistics is also possible using the menu "Extras" within the
components "Library Management" and "Model Management" within the ADONIS Administration Toolkit.
After importing application libraries or a considerable number of models, or after certain time intervals
and after numerous models have been created or deleted, the catalogue statistics should be updated.
Catalogue statistics include statistical data concerning the distribution of table and index values, which
is used for the globalisation of database queries. Updated catalogue statistics can lead to more efficient execution times and as a consequence to reduced response times within the ADONIS application.

page 176

ADONIS Installation and Database Administration

Appendix

Essential performance improvements can be reached by new calculation of statistics, particularly after
the initial import of libraries and/or models into an ADONIS database.
While updating the catalogue statistics, no other ADONIS applications should be connected to the database. The following steps are recommended when updating catalogue statistics for an ADONIS database:
1.

Start an ORACLE SQL tool and create a connection to the database instance.

2.

Microsoft SQL Server

The database administration appendix for SQL Server contains the following information:
Database set-up (see chap. 3.6.1, p. 178)
Update catalogue statistics (see chap. 3.6.2, p. 187)
ADONIS database tables (see chap. 3.6.3, p. 188)

3.6.1

Database Set-up

Before creating an ADONIS database, an SQL server database must be prepared (see chap. 3.6.1.1,
p. 178) on the server side.
An ODBC data source must be created (see chap. 3.6.1.2, p. 183) on the client.

3.6.1.1

Server

The preparation of an SQL-Server database for an ADONIS database installation can be done using
the administration tool "SQL Enterprise Manager". The following steps are necessary:
Create a Microsoft SQL-Server database which has its own database device and log device. The
log should be at least 15 MB in size and it is recommended that the initial size of the database
should be no less than 40 MB.
Activate the option "Truncate Log on Checkpoint".
ATTENTION:

The transaction protocol will be required, particularly for later import and
deletion of large models. Should the option "Truncate Log on Checkpoint"
not be activated, the protocol must be archived at adequate intervals.

Create a Login with the name "ADONIS" and the password "BPMS" and assign the Login to the
database.
The Login "ADONIS" must be given the rights "Create table" and "Create view" for the database.

Enter in the field Name a new name for the new database (e.g. "adonisdb").

BOC Group 2006

page 179

Part V

ATTENTION:

If the database is "adonis", you cannot have local access to the database
from the ADONIS application. It is not recommended to name the database
"adonis".

Switch to the tab "Data Files" (see fig. 75).

Figure 75: Database properties - Data Files

Within the column Initial size (MB) an initial size of the database file can be set. The user files of
the database will be physically stored in the database file. The required space depends on the
number and size of the models stored. A starting size of 50 MB is sufficient.
If the option field Automatically grow file is marked, the datafile will be automatically increased if
necessary. It is recommended to accept this setting.
The values "Field enlargement" and "Maximum file size" are the parameters for the automatic
enlargement and can also be accepted unchanged.

Switch to the tab "Permissions" and mark the access rights "Create Table" and "Create View" in
the line assigned to the user "ADONIS".
Then, confirm the settings by clicking on the OK button.

3.6.1.2

Client (configure ODBC data source)

ADONIS applications use the ODBC interface to access Microsoft SQL Server databases.
For the prepared ADONIS database an ODBC data source has to be defined. Therefore the Windows
system program "ODBC32AD32.EXE" or "Data Sources (ODBC)" in the folder "control panel" or
"control panel / administration" respectively must be used.
ATTENTION:

The ODBC driver v2000.80.194.0 (included in Microsoft SQL Server 2000

or MDAC 2.6 RTM) contains errors that can - in combination with Microsoft
SQL Server 2000 - lead to truncated attribute values. If you use Microsoft
SQL Server 2000 it is recommended to install an older ODBC driver (e.g.
MDAC 2.5 SP1 with ODBC driver v3.70.0820) or MDAC 2.6 SP1. The Microsoft Service Pack "MDAC 2.6 SP1" is included in the ADONIS installation CD in the directory "dbinfo\mdac26_sp1" and can be installed with the
program "mdac_typ_de.exe" (German) or "mdac_typ.exe" (English).

The data source can be created either as a user data source (saved in the user profile) or as a system
data source (stored in the profile of the computer).
Within the "ODBC SQL Server setup" dialogue the following information has to be provided:
ATTENTION:

BOC Group 2006

Depending on the version of the installed ODBC driver not all options might
be offered in the ODBC configuration assistant.

page 183

Part V

Data source name:

Any name that is unique in the system with a maximum of eight characters
serving as an alias name for the database. The name defined here will be
used during the ADONIS login.

Server:

Specify the network name (DNS/WINS name) of the server.

Database name:

The physical name of the prepared MS SQL Server database instance has to
be specified.

Update Catalogue Statistics

Hint: The update of catalogue statistics is also available in the menu "Extras" of the components "Library Management" and "Model Management" within the ADONIS Administration
Toolkit.
Hint: From MS SQL Server Version 7.0 onwards an automated update of the catalogue statistics is supported.

BOC Group 2006

page 187

Part V

After importing application libraries or many models as well as in regular time intervals it is recommended to update the catalogue statistics of the database system.
The catalogue statistics are statistical data about the distribution of tables and indices that are used by
the database system to optimise access. Updated catalogue statistics will lead to more efficient access and reduced response times.
After initial importing libraries/models into an ADONIS database it is particularly recommended to update the statistics to obtain performance improvements.
For ADONIS databases using SQL-Server the following approach is recommended:
1.

Start the MS SQL Server SQL command line and connect to the database.

2.

Execute the following statements:

-QQuality Assurance. The basic objective of quality assurance measures (or QA systems) is to guarantee a constant quality level with regard to a company's products and/or services. There is a fundamental difference between two different approaches of quality assurance: active vs. reactive methods.
The latter attempts to assure the product quality by introducing control mechanisms. These, however,
just fight the consequences of faulty processes, i.e. the poor/defective products. Newer approaches
have tried to develop optimised procedures to actively affect the products' quality. These active quality
assurance approaches are known as Quality Management and find their expression in a great number of methods, concepts and canons of rules. These include Total Quality Management (TQM) in particular or the series of norms ISO 9000 ff.
Quality Management. Quality Management is an umbrella term for a number of active quality assurance methods. Active QM approaches - in contrast to approaches of reactive Quality Assurance are those the purpose of which is to avoid "quality gaps" in the products and/or services of a company.
An essential part of the quality management is thus the documentation and (re-)structuring of
business processes).
Quantity. Attribute of objects of the class "Process start". Specifies how often the business
process occurs. The quantity refers to the value of the attribute "Time Period". Both attributes are
used in the Capacity Analysis simulation algorithm.
Queries. Functionality of the Analysis Component in the Business Process Management Toolkit.
By running queries on models, the model contents can be extracted and be displayed in a clearly
structured way in the ADONIS browser. The following types of queries are available: user-defined,
standardised and (depending on the particular library configuration) predefined ones.
Queries, predefined. The ADONIS administrator defines predefined queries for business process libraries and Working Environment libraries in the Library Management component of the
Administration Toolkit. The predefined queries are made available to the ADONIS user in the
Analysis Component of the Business Process Management Toolkit by specific menu options. The
results of the predefined queries are displayed in the ADONIS browser.
Queries, standardised. Standardised queries are available to the ADONIS user in the Analysis
Component in the Business Process Management Toolkit. Standardised queries may be used to
create user-defined queries. The results of the standardised queries are displayed in the ADONIS
browser.
Queries, user-defined. The ADONIS user defines user-defined queries in the Analysis Component of the Business Process Management Toolkit by using AQL expressions. The results of the
user-defined queries are displayed in the ADONIS browser.

processes (support available for this). These are interpreted during the Capacity and Workload
Analysis s. In this way, the resources in the Working Environment which are needed to execute an
activity are determined.

added, renamed and deleted. user assignment can also be edited.
User Import. Import of ADONIS users and/or ADONIS user groups from a UDL file into the
ADONIS database. Functionality of the User Management in the Administration Toolkit.
User List. List of all ADONIS users stored in the ADONIS database. With the help of the user list,
you can add and delete ADONIS users as well as edit their settings.
User Management (component). ADONIS User Mangement.
User-defined Queries. Queries, user-defined.

-VValidity Date. Specifies the time from which a model or attribute profile version becomes valid. The
validity of a version ends with the validity start of the next version of the same model or attribute profile.
Versioning. Enables the administration of different versions of a model. in ADONIS, either a
model-related or a time-related versioning is possible.
Versioning, model-related. A version number is assigned manually to each version of a model.
Versioning, time-related. A validity date is assigned to each version of a model.

Visio. Graphical modelling tool (Owner: Microsoft Corp.).

Visualised Attribute Value. The attribute value of an object or a connector which is displayed
on the drawing area (g.g. Name of an "Activity", transition condition of a "Subsequent" relation).

-WWaiting Time. Time during which an activity of a business process cannot yet be executed, as
the person due to execute it is still busy working on something else; i.e. the activity is ready to be executed but must first queue for a while.
WebSphere MQ. Workflow Management System, successor of FlowMark and MQ Series Workflow
(owner: IBM).
Width Search. Process to go through objects, i.e. to automatically process the objects and relations
of a model in the RTF generation in the Documentation Component. Starting from a "Process start"
object, all objects which are directly connected to this start object, will be processed gradually. When
all objects which are directly connected to this start object have been processed, one of these directly
connected objects will be selected as a new start object and the process will recur. This will be carried
out for all objects. (see also depth search)
Window Panel. Title bar of an ADONIS component's window (ADONIS window).
Windows System User. System user.
Workflow Management System (WMS). Computer system that controls the execution of business
processes. The most prominent task of a Workflow management system is to delegate business process activities to the organisation's employees.
Working Environment. (= organisational structures); structures (e.g. departments and roles),
performers and resources of an organisation. The working environment of an organisation is represented in ADONIS in Working Environment models.
Working Environment Library. Contains classes and relations for modelling the Working
Environment as well as description, layout, analysis and simulation definitions. The classes of a
Working Environment library are derived from the classes of the Working Environment meta model. A
Working Environment model always refers to exactly one Working Environment library. Working Environment libraries are defined during ADONIS customising.
Working Environment Meta Model. Pre-defined classes for modelling Working Environments in
ADONIS. The classes in a Working Environment library are derived from the classes contained in the
Working Environment meta model.
Working Environment Model. 1. Model of a Working Environment. Results from instantiating
classes of a Working Environment library.
2. Model type of the ADONIS BPMS WE Library.
Workspace (Working Area). Main part of the ADONIS window, usually situated below the
component bar/quick-access bar. The modelling windows are displayed in the workspace.
Workload Analysis. Simulation algorithm in the Simulation Component of the Business Process
Management Toolkit, based on queuing theory. The simulation runs "on the time axis". The results are
the number of cycle times and waiting times depending on the capacity/amount of work of
performers and resources. The input for the Workload Analysis is an application model. A
Workload Analysis can be run based on a steady state or a fixed time period basis. The results of
the Workload Analysis are displayed in the ADONIS browser.
Workload Analysis, fixed-time period. Workload Analysis, in which the length of the initialisation
phase and the calculation (result measuring) phase and the types of results calculated (input parameters) are defined by the user.

ADONIS Installation and Database Administration

Appendix

Workload Analysis, steady-state view. Workload Analysis, in which the length of the oscillation
phases and the calculation period depend on the number of simulation runs.
Write Access. Access right granted to an ADONIS user group to an ADONIS model group and
the ADONIS models referenced within it. With this access right, you can locally change as well as
save a model's content.

-XXML. EXtensible Markup Language; file format in which ADONIS models can be stored (exported).
XML Export. Functionality in the Import/Export Component of the Business Process Management Toolkit. Using the XML export, ADONIS models can be exported to XML files.
XML Import. Functionality in the Import/Export Component of the Business Process Management Toolkit. Using the XML import,XML files (ADONIS models) can be imported to ADONIS and
stored in the ADONIS database.
