This documentation provides you with the information necessary to install Adabas on UNIX, Windows and OpenVMS platforms.
Note:
Before installing Adabas, we strongly
recommend that you read the file readme.txt in the
directory
<mountpoint>/unix/operating_system/ada/vnnn
(UNIX systems) or <cdrom>\windows\ada (Windows).
This applies especially if you perform the installation in the character mode
(UNIX only). The file readme.txt contains information that
you should be aware of after the installation has completed and before you
start to use Adabas - it can also displayed at the
end of the installation if selected by the user.
The installation guide consists of the following sections:
| Section | Description |
|---|---|
| Adabas License Key | Information about the Adabas license key and how to use it |
| Installing and Setting Up Software AG Products under UNIX | Gives information about the installation package and the Software AG environment and describes the pre-installation steps which are common to all installations of Software AG products on a UNIX platform. It is relevant if you are installing a Software AG product for the first time. |
| UNIX | How to install Adabas on UNIX platforms |
| Windows | How to install Adabas on Windows platforms |
| OpenVMS | How to install Adabas on OpenVMS |
Unless otherwise specified in our documentation, we encourage installing the latest service packs, patch bundles and fixes for the supported operating systems and products if these are recommended by the respective vendor. Please report defects resulting from 3rd party-supplied fixes, patches or service packs to the vendor directly.
Software AG tests its software against specific versions of operating systems and supported products (RDBMSs, JDKs, browsers, application servers, directory servers) and not specifically against all possible combinations of patches, fixes and hardware that might comprise that platform. Therefore, Software AG may not use the exact same versions of fixes, patches or service packs for operating systems and supported software products, when troubleshooting a customer issue.
