back in 2000 or so, MXG had some SAS process to analyze ADABAS PLOGS, 


//ADALOG DD DISP=SHR,DSN=xx.ADABAS.PLOGCOPY 
//SYSIN DD * 
OPTIONS NOSOURCE NOFMTERR; 
%INCLUDE SOURCLIB(XADALOG); 
RUN; 
been a long time since I've looked at ADABAS so if you have MXG, this 'may' 
help some 


other than that, the SMF30's is the only other place I've looked

I would compare all of the job statistics that you have access to 
including CPU time and i-os to see what differs between normal and 
spike nights. Also check what is running concurrently with the spike 
night jobs. It may be a scheduling conflict. Also if Adabas is 
cutting any SMF records that could be helpful get those and ask for 
access to the tool(s) to interpret them.
