Configure the Adabas Environment

It is not possible to set Global Environment Settings for Adabas.

The Adabas utilities require the Adabas environment variables to be set. The required environment variables are automatically set when the utility programs are executed from the All Programs > Start Menu group name > Administration > Adabas 6.6 > Start command prompt.

Use the script adaenv.bat located in the directory <install_dir>\Adabas\INSTALL\ to set the environment variables, when Adabas utility programs are to be executed outside the command prompt.

Configure the Adabas Client Environment

The Adabas Client environment is only required by applications and services, which access an Adabas database or utilize the database communication facilities.

In a Windows environment where multiple Adabas Client installations exist, only one Global Adabas Client Environment installation can be active.

By default, the highest installed version of Adabas Client is set as the Global Environment.

If you want to switch back to a lower version, you must first unset the previous installation and then set the current installation using the script aclenvvar.

To set the Adabas installation use the Start menu. Go to: All Programs > Start Menu group name > Administration > Adabas Client 6.6 > Configure Global Environment. In the Command Prompt, execute the script aclenvvar with one of the following options:

aclenvvar unset

Unsets the previous global environment.

aclenvvar set

Sets the current global environment.

aclenvvar show

Displays information about the current local and global environment setting.
