This section of the documentation provides installation preparation information for Adabas Review 4.3.2 or above under VSE/ESA operating system environments.
If you are also installing Review Data Communication or Review Natural Monitor, refer to the installation documentation for that system. Note that with version 4.3.2, the Adabas Review menu system has been completely disconnected from these products. The User Profile system that was formerly common to all of these products is now independent for each. Adabas Review profile data is now encrypted for enhanced security.
For information about using Software AG's System Maintenance Aid (SMA) for the installation process, refer to the System Maintenance Aid Documentation.
If you are using SMA to install Adabas Review 4.3.2 or above under CICS
and want to use the Adabas command-level link routine, set the
CMD-LEVEL-LINK parameter in group OPTION to Y. This will
ensure that the desired command-level link is assembled and linked with the
correct Review TP interface module. Refer to the SMA P060 README job member for
more detailed information about this and other SMA installation steps.
