Adabas Docker Creation Scripts

The directory <Software AG product installation directory>/Adabas/docker/ contains scripts to create Adabas Docker images. Different use cases are provided.

The following use cases are possible:

  • Adabas single instance without any add-on or administration

  • Adabas with Adabas RESTful administration for administration and monitoring

A corresponding Docker build directory is provided. A prerequisite to use the Docker scripts is to use the Software AG Installer for the installation of Adabas. The installation has to contain Adabas and, for the Adabas administration use case, the Adabas RESTful administration component.

You can create a docker package using the createAdabasSAGtar.sh script. For example, to create the Adabas single instance use case, enter the Adabas directory and type sh createAdabasSAGtar.sh <Software AG product installation directory>, where <Software AG product installation directory> is the directory containing your Adabas installation.

If the Software AG environment is defined, the script can be used without the Software AG product installation directory option.

The corresponding .tar file is created inside the Adabas directory. Within this directory the Docker specific files are stored. You may start the docker run call in there.

Hint

If you plan to add adaption to your local environment, the scripts should be copied to a private location. Software AG update manager might overwrite changes during the update process.
