This retrieves a new abstract plan even if one was saved with the original SQL. It is important to use this option if you originally saved the SQL statement and abstract plans in version 12.5.0.3 or earlier of Adaptive Server and are now using Adaptive Server 15.0 or later since the format of the abstract plan has changed.

Note: This option is disabled if you have selected Using existing query plan saved with the SQL on the Select SQL page.

Group name

Specify the abstract plan group name where the abstract plans are saved. The default group names in Adaptive Server are: ap_stdout and ap_stdin. These groups are usually used by the Database Administrator to enable server-wide abstract plan capturing and retrieving.

ap_stdout is used by default to capture an abstract plan.

ap_stdin is used by default to retrieve the abstract plan associated with a SQL statement during the execution of the SQL statement.

Abstract Plan Manager button

Opens the Abstract Plan Manager window to view, create, and modify abstract plan group.

Drop Indexes

Index Impact Analyzer > Drop Indexes

The Index Impact analysis first creates the indexes on your database. Then it retrieves the query plan for each SQL statement that you have selected for your analyzer. When you set up the individual scenarios, you determine if you would like the indexes dropped or to leave them on your database.

If you do not have the analysis process drop the indexes, you can drop them in any one of the following ways:

  • In the tree pane (left pane), right-click the scenario name and select Go To Drop Indexes.

  • When you close the Index Impact Analyzer window, you are prompted to drop the indexes. Click Yes.

  • In the tree pane (left pane), click the scenario name and select the Create/Drop Indexes button at the top of the right pane. Click image\B_Execute.gif next to the Drop Indexes or Drop All Indexes pane.

You can make the changes permanent, in one of the following ways:

  • In the tree pane (left pane), right-click the scenario name and select Confirm Index Changes. Click Yes.

  • When you close the Configuration Analyzer window, you are prompted to rollback the changes. Click No.
