Final Installation Steps

This section describes the steps, which are to be completed after the installation of Adabas 6.7 on UNIX.

Note:
All scripts mentioned in the following steps are to be executed in a Bourne shell.

Start of instruction set To complete the installation of Adabas 6.7 on UNIX.

Change to the bin directory of your main installation directory.
If you did not use sudo during the installation, you must run the script afterInstallAsRoot.sh to complete the installation or some products might not work correctly.
- Run the script afterInstallAsRoot.sh with root privileges.
Source the environment settings by executing the command
```
. ./sagenv.new
```
Activate the Adabas License.
1. Copy the license key to a temporary location on your UNIX machine.
2. Change to the Adabas/INSTALL directory of your main installation directory.
3. Execute the adalic command. Enter:
```
adalic activate license_file
```
  Where license_file represents the fully qualified path to your license file.
Change the default Adabas Data directory.

Notes:
1. This step is optional.
2. If this step is omitted, the Adabas Data directory is set to the default.
3. The adaenv environment file will be modified by these steps.
The default Adabas Data directory is the Adabas installation directory (i.e../Adabas). If you want to choose a different location:
1. Change to the Adabas/INSTALL directory of your main installation directory.
2. Execute the change_adadatadir.sh command. Enter:
```
change_adadatadir.sh new_location
```
  Where new_location represents the fully qualified path to the new location of your Data directory.
3. Source the environment settings to enable the change. Execute the command:
```
. ./adaenv
```
  Or close the current shell, open a new shell, change to the bin directory of your main installation directory, then source the environment by executing
```
. ./sagenv.new
```
4. If installed, restart the Adabas Administration Service with the changed environment.
Verify the Installation.

Note:
This step is optional.

To verify your installation you may choose to:
- Create the Demo Database
- Start the database
- Generate a database report
- Terminate the database
To achieve this, execute the following steps:
1. Open a command shell.
2. Source the environment settings.
3. Create the Demo Database
  - Execute the crdemodb command. Enter:
```
crdemodb dbid
```
    Where dbid represents the Database ID of your database.
4. Start the database issuing the command:
```
adastart dbid
```
  Where dbid represents the Database ID of your database.
  
  For further details on adastart, refer to the section Start Database: adastart in the Extended Operation documentation
5. Generate a database report issuing the command:
```
adarep dbid=dbid contents
```
  Where dbid represents the Database ID of your database.
  
  For further details on adarep, refer to the section ADAREP in the Utilities documentation.
6. Terminate the database issuing the command:
```
adastop dbid
```
  Where dbid represents the Database ID of your database.
  
  For further details on adastop, refer to the section Stop Database: adastop in the Extended Operation documentation

Adapting the Installation for Use with other Products

If you are also using other Software AG products, you must either install those products into the same directory where you installed Adabas, or you must modify the generated script sagenv.new to setup up your environment properly. For further information see Side-by-Side Installations.

Adabas Client and Applications using s-bits

The default installation directory for Adabas Client is /opt/softwareag/AdabasClient.

If you are installing Adabas Client into a directory which is not the default (e.g. /opt/softwareag/Suite1/Adabas Client) and you want to use an Adabas interface with applications that have has the s-bit set, you must create a symbolic link pointing to the physical location of the Adabas Client Installation directory in /opt/softwareag/.

Start of instruction set To create a new symbolic link

Open a command shell.
Source the environment settings.

Create the symbolic link by executing:

ln -s<installation_directory>/opt/softwareag/AdabasClient

For example:

ln s /opt/softwareag/Suite1/AdabasClient/opt/softwareag/AdabasClient

Note:
These operations require root permissions.
