Adabas Parallel Services version 7.5 requires
OS/390 version 2, release 10
z/OS version 1, releases 1-4
z/OS version 1, release 5 if you want to use global cache in shared 64-bit addressable storage (parameter CLUCACHETYPE=V64)

BS2000: For information on the BS2000 OSD versions supported by this release of Adabas Parallel Services, access Software AG's ServLine24 web site at http://servline24.softwareag.com/public/. In the left menu of this web page, expand and log into Secured Services. Once you have logged in, you can expand in the left menu of the web page and select to access the Product Version Roadmaps application. This application allows you to review platform support information for specific Software AG products and releases.
* Support for z/OS.e is currently restricted to client programs executing in batch, or under TSO or Com-plete.
Adabas Parallel Services version 7.5 requires Adabas version 7.4.2 or later. The FRZ.ADA744.MVSLX01 dataset, included with Adabas 7.4.4, includes all the current LX dataset maintenance available to use Adabas Parallel Services 7.5.1 with Adabas 7.4.4 or its prior releases.
If, however, you have only Adabas 7.4.2 installed, the following zaps must be applied if Adabas Parallel Services version 7.5 is to function properly:
AI742026
AI742027
AI742029
AN742149
In z/OS or OS/390 environments, the following additional zaps must also be applied to Adabas 7.4.2 systems:
AO742020
AO742021
For BS2000 environments, Software AG recommends that you use Adabas version 7.4.4. If, however, you are using Adabas 7.4.3, you must apply zap AB743002. In addition, if Adabas version 7.4.2 is used, the following additional zaps must be applied:
AB742015
AB742019, AB742020, and AB742021
AB742023, AB742024, and AB742025
AB742027
AB742029 through AB742036
AB742045
Note:
AB742030 needs an expansion to ADAMP2 (for more information, please
see the description of this zap).

If you are using Adabas 7.4.2 in VSE environments, the following additional zaps must be applied:
AD742009
AD742019
AD742020
AD742023
AD742053
Please check ServLine24 for cluster-related Adabas zaps as well, when installing Adabas Parallel Services version 7.5.
If Entire Net-Work 5.8.1 is installed, the following zap must also be applied: WM58074M.
If you install Adabas Online System (AOS), either the demo version delivered with Adabas 7.4 or the version 7.4 AOS selectable unit is required. AOS is compiled under Natural version 3.1 and runs on that and all subsequent versions of Natural.
The full version 7.4 AOS selectable unit is required for the triggers and stored procedures facility.
Usually zaps for Parallel Services nuclei can be applied and made active one nucleus at a time. That is, individual nuclei can be shut down, have the zap applied, and be brought up again without ever shutting down the entire cluster. This is the default way of applying zaps, which is in effect if the zap description does not explicitly state otherwise.
In some cases, it may be possible that applying and activating a zap one nucleus at a time would introduce erroneous behavior in the nuclei that have not yet been zapped. If this is the case for a zap, it will be clearly indicated in the zap description, and instructions will be given for how to apply and activate the zap properly.
Zaps to the SVCCLU component of the Adabas router (Adabas SVC), as well as the ADACOM task/job, always require the shutdown of the entire cluster before they cay be activated, since every Parallel Services cluster works with only one router (SVC) and one ADACOM, and since both must stay active as long as the cluster is active.
