Modes of Operation

Because ADABAS is processed as an access method rather than as a facility, there is no unique mode assignment to ADABAS. Instead, the MODE for the user who accesses a resource is determined by the MODE selected for that user in the facility (CICS, TSO, or BATCH) used to access ADABAS. The usual CA Top Secret convention of modes overriding in the order of user, profile, facility, and global, applies. In addition, ACTION(FAIL) is honored for processing specific PERMITs in FAIL mode.
