MSP Installation

This section describes the preparation for and installation of Adabas Fastpath on MSP systems.


The Installation Tape

The installation tape contains the datasets listed in the table below. The sequence of the datasets is shown in the Report of Tape Creation that accompanies the installation tape.

Dataset Contents
AFPvrs.LOAD AFP load modules
AFPvrs.INPL SYSAFP objects
AFPvrs.ERRN SYSAFP error messages

where vrs is the dataset names represents the version, revision, and system maintenance level of the product.

Installation Checklist for MSP

The Adabas System Coordinator must be installed prior to the installation of Adabas Fastpath. See the Adabas System Coordinator documentation for detailed information.

Once the required System Coordinator components have been installed, you can proceed to install Adabas Fastpath. The following checklist identifies the steps necessary to complete the installation:

Step Description
1 Restore the Fastpath libraries from the installation tape
2 Prepare SYSAFP
3 Enable the client process
4 Enable the Adabas server process
5 Prepare the asynchronous buffer manager
6 Verify the installation

Systems Programming Considerations

Buffer storage is acquired from extended CSA (ECSA subpool 241). The operating system parameter CSA in the IEASYSxx member of SYS1.PARMLIB defines the size available. It may need to be increased if a large buffer is required.

Installation Procedure

Following is the general Adabas Fastpath installation procedure. The actual installation depends on your particular requirements and the specific contents of the release package provided by Software AG for your site. Information in the release package is intended for your system. If that information differs from the information in this section, use the release package information or contact your Software AG technical support representative for assistance.

Step 1. Restore the Fastpath libraries

Use JSECOPY to unload the libraries. Modify the following variables to reflect the standards at your site:

Variable Is the ...
vrs version, revision, and system maintenance level of the product
tttttt volume serial number of the installation tape
vvvvvv volume serial number for the target disk
//AFPLOAD  JOB  (site dependent data)
//* ----------------------------------------------------------
//*---COPY THE LOAD LIBRARY
//* ----------------------------------------------------------
//SRCELIB EXEC PGM=JSECOPY
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//IN     DD DSN=AFPvrs.LOAD,DISP=OLD,
//       VOL=(,RETAIN,SER=tttttt),UNIT=TAPE,LABEL=(3,SL,EXPDT=98000)
//OUT    DD DSN=SAG.AFPvrs.LOAD,DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),
//       UNIT=SYSDA,VOL=SER=vvvvvv,SPACE=(CYL,(5,1,15),RLSE)
//SYSIN DD *
 COPY INDD=IN,OUTDD=OUT
/*

Step 2. Prepare SYSAFP

The Adabas Fastpath Online Services (SYSAFP) objects are delivered on the Adabas Fastpath installation tape.

  1. Install the INPL objects as standard. If an I001 dataset is supplied, install this as well.

  2. Define SYSAFP and SYSMWvrs to Natural Security, with a start-up program named MENU. Restrict the application to authorized personnel.

  3. Use the following parameter to define the Natural session where SYSAFP is to be used:

    LFILE=(152,dbid,fnr<,passw><,ciph>)

    where dbid and fnr indicate the location of the Adabas System Coordinator configuration file.

    Alternatively, assemble the Natural parameter module with

    NTFILE,ID=152,DBID=nnn,FNR=nnn

Step 3. Enable the client process

To enable the Adabas Fastpath client process

  1. for the Adabas System Coordinator:

  2. for Adabas Fastpath:

Step 4. Enable the database process

To enable the Adabas Fastpath database process

  1. for the Adabas System Coordinator:

  2. for Adabas Fastpath:

Note:
An unmodified ADALNK must be available to the database in preference to the ADALNK created during the installation of the System Coordinator.

Step 5. Prepare the asynchronous buffer manager

The asynchronous buffer manager (ABM) runs as an optional service within the Adabas System Coordinator daemon.

To enable the ABM for the System Coordinator daemon:

For more information, refer to the Adabas System Coordinator documentation.

Step 6. Verify the installation

Use the procedure described in section Verifying the Installation to ensure that the installation has been successful.
