Preparing for the Installation

This section of the documentation provides installation preparation information for Adabas Review under z/VSE operating system environments.

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 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.

This document covers the following topics:
