This section describes the preparation for and installation of Adabas Fastpath on BS2000 systems.
Review the Report of Tape Creation that accompanies the release package before restoring the release data to disk. Information in this report supersedes the information in this documentation.
The installation tape contains the following datasets in the sequence indicated in the report:
| Dataset | Contents |
|---|---|
| AFPvrs.JOBS | AFP Jobs |
| AFPvrs.SRC | AFP source modules |
| AFPvrs.MOD | AFP load modules |
| AFPvrs.INPL | SYSAFP objects |
| AFPvrs.ERRN | SYSAFP error messages |
where vrs in dataset names represents the version, revision, and system maintenance level of the product.
The Adabas System Coordinator must be installed prior to the installation of Adabas Fastpath. See the Adabas System Coordinator documentation for detailed information.
Once the required System Coordinator components have been installed, you can proceed to install Adabas Fastpath.
After copying the tape contents to disk, the following checklist identifies the steps necessary to complete the installation:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Prepare SYSAFP |
| 2 | Enable the client process |
| 3 | Enable the Adabas server process |
| 4 | Prepare the asynchronous buffer manager |
| 5 | Verify the installation |
to copy the tape contents to a BS2000/OSD disk:
Copy the library SRVnnn.LIB from tape to disk.
This action is not necessary if you have already copied the library SRVnnn.LIB from another Software AG tape. For more information, refer to the element #READ-ME in this library.
The library SRVnnn.LIB is stored on the tape as the sequential file SRVnnn.LIBS containing LMS commands. The current version nnn can be obtained from the Report of Tape Creation. To convert this sequential file into a LMS library, execute the following commands:
/IMPORT-FILE SUPPORT=*TAPE(FILE-NAME=SRVnnn.LIBS, - / VOLUME=<volser>, DEV-TYPE=<tape-device>) /ADD-FILE-LINK LINK-NAME=EDTSAM, FILE-NAME=SRVnnn.LIBS, - / SUPPORT=*TAPE(FILE-SEQ=3), ACC-METH=*BY-CAT, - / BUF-LEN=*BY-CAT, REC-FORM=*BY-CAT, REC-SIZE=*BY-CAT /START-EDT @READ '/' @SYSTEM 'REMOVE-FILE-LINK EDTSAM' @SYSTEM 'EXPORT-FILE FILE-NAME=SRVnnn.LIBS' @WRITE 'SRVnnn.LIBS' @HALT /ASS-SYSDTA SRVnnn.LIBS /MOD-JOB-SW ON=1 /START-PROG $LMS /MOD-JOB-SW OFF=1 /ASS-SYSDTA *PRIMARY <tape-device> = device-type of the tape, e.g. TAPE-C4 <volser> = VOLSER of tape (see Report of Tape Creation)
Copy the procedure COPY.PROC from tape to disk.
Call the procedure P.COPYTAPE in the library SRVnnn.LIB to copy the procedure COPY.PROC to disk:
/CALL-PROCEDURE (SRVnnn.LIB,P.COPYTAPE), - / (VSNT=<volser>, DEVT=<tape-device>)
If you use a TAPE-C4 device, you can omit the parameter
DEVT.
Copy all product files from tape to disk.
Enter the procedure COPY.PROC to copy all Software AG product files from tape to disk:
/ENTER-PROCEDURE COPY.PROC, DEVT=<tape-device>
If you use a TAPE-C4 device, you can omit the parameter
DEVT. The result of this procedure is written to the
file L.REPORT.SRV.
Following is the general Adabas Fastpath installation procedure. The actual installation depends on your particular requirements and the specific contents of the release package provided by Software AG for your site. Information in the release package is intended specifically for your system. If that information differs from the information in this section, use the release package information or contact your Software AG technical support representative for assistance.
The Adabas Fastpath Online Services (SYSAFP) objects are delivered on the Adabas Fastpath installation tape.
Install the INPL objects as standard. If an I001 dataset is supplied, install this as well.
If Natural Security is installed, define the libraries SYSAFP and SYSMWvrs (where vrs is the version you are installing, for example 812) and protect as required. You may define MENU as the startup transaction for SYSAFP. DO NOT define a startup transaction for SYSMWvrs.
Use the following parameter to define the Natural session where SYSAFP is to be used:
LFILE=(152,dbid,fnr<,passw><,ciph>)
where dbid and fnr indicate the location of the Adabas System Coordinator configuration file.
Alternatively, assemble the Natural parameter module with
NATFILE,ID=152,DBID=nnn,FNR=nnn
For more information, refer to the Adabas System Coordinator documentation.
To enable the Adabas Fastpath client process
for the dabas System Coordinator:
make the modified Adabas link module available (BLSLIBnn);
make the generated configuration module CORCFG available (BLSLIBnn); and
make the Adabas System Coordinator load library available (BLSLIBnn).
for Adabas Fastpath:
make the Adabas Fastpath load library available (BLSLIBnn).
To enable the Adabas Fastpath database process
for the Adabas System Coordinator:
make the Adabas System Coordinator load library available (BLSLIBnn).
for Adabas Fastpath:
set the Adabas parameter ADARUN
FASTPATH=YES; and
make the Adabas Fastpath load library available (BLSLIBnn).
Note:
An unmodified ADALNK must be available to the database in preference
to the ADALNK created during the installation of the System Coordinator.
The asynchronous buffer manager (ABM) runs as an optional service within the Adabas System Coordinator daemon.
To enable the ABM for the System Coordinator daemon:
make the generated configuration module CORCFG available;
set the daemon service startup parameter
PRODUCT=AFP; and
make the Adabas Fastpath load library available.
For more information, refer to the Adabas System Coordinator documentation.
Use the procedure described in section Verifying the Installation to ensure that the installation has been successful.
