How to Convert Adabas to Db2
Adabas is one of the earliest commercially available database systems. It was released with IBM mainframe systems such as DOS/360. Adabas is now working with systems like OpenVMS, Linux and UNIX. An Adabas database is a selection of data contained in Adabas files. An Adabas database includes three system files: data storage, associating and work storage. The IBM Db2 Enterprise Server Edition is a relational model database server developed by IBM. It mainly runs on UNIX, Linux and IBM I, z/OS, Windows Servers. It is a relational database management system. There are various ways to convert from Adabas to DB2 such as the ATERAS Adabas conversion, Sandpiper solution and ADA2 solution.
