This section describes how to install the Adabas Online System (AOS) demo version.
Notes:
The Adabas TXTLIB contains the AOS member AOSASM. To install the AOS demo version on a z/VM system, perform the following steps:
To install the AOS demo version:
INPL the AOS demo version data set
Use the CMS EXEC called ADAINPL provided by Adabas to load the provided AOS demo version INPL tape data set using Natural Version 3.1 or above.
The data set itself is in Natural 3 format, and is placed in the library SYSAOS.
The distributed INPL jobs (both the sample jobs and the SMA-generated jobs) that you use to load the Adabas INPL library load it in a date-sensitive manner. In other words, the load process will now check the dates of your existing INPL library and will not allow older members to overwrite members with newer dates. However, if you use your own Natural batch jobs to load the Adabas INPL library, you will need to modify them to be date-sensitive. To do this, specify the following CMSYNIN primary command input in your job (this setting assumes the Natural input parameters in the job are specified in comma-delimited mode, or IM=D):
B,,,,,,,Y
The "B" setting indicates that the INPL action should load everything; the next six fields (comma-delimited) are defaults, the eighth field is specified as "Y" to indicate that dates in the INPL library should be checked, and the ninth field is not included in the specification because the default for that field will be used. For more information about Natural CMSYNIN input, refer to your Natural documentation.
Note:
When migrating an Adabas 7.4 installation, this procedure does not
apply. Instead, you should replace the 7.4 INPL library members with the latest
Adabas 8 INPL library members, regardless of the dates of the members, to avoid
creating a library containing members from both releases.
Load the error messages
The error messages are stored in an ERRN-formatted data set included on the tape.
Use the Natural utility ERRLODUS to load the messages.
See the Natural Utilities documentation for information about the ERRLODUS utility.
Execute the AOS demo version
Log on to the application library SYSAOS and enter the command MENU.
Natural Security must be installed before implementing Adabas Online System Security. See the Adabas Security documentation for more information. For information about installing Natural Security for use with AOS Security, see the Natural Security documentation.
Natural Security Version 2.2.8 or above includes the ability to automatically close all open databases when the Natural command mode’s LOGON function of the AOS demo version is invoked.
Use the following procedure if Natural Security is installed in your environment.
to setup AOS using Natural Security:
Define at least the library SYSAOS to Natural Security
Software AG recommends you define this library and any others you may define as protected.
Specify the startup program for SYSAOS as MENU
Do not specify a startup program name for the other libraries.
