Version 4.3.2
 —  Installation and Operations for z/OS  —

Preparing For the Installation

This document provides installation preparation information for Adabas Review 4.3.2 or above under OS/390 or z/OS and FACOM OS IV/MSP-EX operating system environments. All references in this document to OS/390 are valid for z/OS and MSP as well, unless otherwise noted.

If you are also installing Review Data Communication or Review Natural Monitor, refer to the installation manual for that system. Note that 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 Manual.

If you are using SMA to install Adabas Review 4.3.2 or above under CICS, and you 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 Adabas Review TP interface module. Refer to the SMA P060 README job member for more detailed information about this and other SMA installation steps.
