This section describes how to install the Adabas Online System (AOS) demo version. To install AOS on systems that use Software AG’s System Maintenance Aid (SMA), refer to the section of this document describing installation of Adabas in your operating environment. For information about SMA, see the System Maintenance Aid documentation.
Notes:
The AOS demo version requires Natural Version 2.2.8 or above.
To install the AOS demo version without the System Maintenance
Aid
Copy AOSASM into the library NATvrs.MOD without renaming
The Adabas module library ADAvrs.MOD contains the module AOSASM.
Perform a Natural INPL
The tape containing the AOS demo version contains an INPL-formatted dataset in Natural 2.2. The programs for the AOS demo version are stored in library SYSAOS.
Load the error messages
The error messages are stored in an ERRN-formatted dataset included on the tape.
Use the Natural utility ERRLODUS to load the messages.
See the Natural Utilities documentation for information about the ERRLODUS utility.
Execute the AOS demo version
Log on to the application library SYSAOS and enter the command DBMENU.
Natural Security must be installed before implementing Adabas Online System Security. See the Adabas Security documentation for more information. For information about installing Natural Security for use with AOS Security, see the Natural Security documentation.
Natural Security Version 2.2.8 or above includes the ability to automatically close all open databases when the Natural command mode’s LOGON function of the AOS demo version is invoked.
Use the following procedure if Natural Security is installed in your environment.
to set-up AOS using Natural Security:
Define at least the library SYSAOS to Natural Security
Software AG recommends you define this library and any others you may define as protected.
Specify the startup program for SYSAOS as DBMENU
Do not specify a startup program name for the other libraries.
Parameters that control the operation of the AOS demo version can be set at installation time by changing the defaults in the Natural program AOSEX1. The table below lists the parameters and possible values. Default values are underlined:
| Parameter | Valid Values / Default | Function |
|---|---|---|
| AOS-END-MSG |
Yes (Y) / No (N) |
Display the AOS demo version end-of-session message? |
| AOS-LOGO |
Yes (Y) / No (N) |
Display the AOS demo version logo? |
| CPEXLIST |
No (N): normal list Yes (Y): extended |
Display extended checkpoint list? |
| MAX-AC-IOS |
0-999999 (150) |
AC read converter block threshold value |
| NR-EXT |
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 |
Critical extent threshold for listing file |
| STATINTV |
1-9999 seconds (60) |
Statistics gathering interval |
To change the defaults, you must edit the Natural AOSEX1 program and make the changes directly within the program listing in the defaults area, as shown by the following example:
DEFINE DATA PARAMETER USING ADVPUEX1 END-DEFINE * * SET THE DEFAULTS * AOS-END-MSG = ’Y’ (Display end-of-session message) AOS-LOGO = ’Y’ (Online System logo display—set to ’N’ for no logo display) CPEXLIST = ’N’ (Checkpoint list control: set to ’Y’ for extended checkpoint list) NR-EXT = 4 (Critical extent threshold: 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5) MAX-AC-IOS = 150 (AC read converter block threshold) STATINTV = 60 (Statistic gathering time interval: range: 1 - 9999) * END
