Adabas Predict only?

[Customers Ask]

Does Attunity Connect support only Adabas Predict?

[Jeanne Wiegelmann]

There are two types of Adabas data sources, the Adabas data source and the ADD-Adabas data source. The Adabas data source uses Predict metadata whereas the ADD-Adabas data source uses Attunitys internal repository (ADD), which is usually imported from Natural Data Definition Module (DDM) files. Alternatively, Predict metadata can be exported and subsequently imported into the ADD-Adabas data source.

Both Adabas data sources provide very similar functionality. The ADD-Adabas data sources enjoys some added flexibility and functionality resulting from the ability to customize the metadata in the ADD. Unless explicitly stated, all features and procedures described apply to both data sources.
