The installation tape contains the datasets listed in the table below. The sequence of the datasets is shown in the Report of Tape Creation that accompanies the installation tape.
| Dataset | Contents |
|---|---|
| AFPvrs.LOAD | 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. The following checklist identifies the steps necessary to complete the installation:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Restore the Adabas Fastpath libraries from the installation tape |
| 2 | Prepare SYSAFP |
| 3 | Enable the client process |
| 4 | Enable the Adabas server process |
| 5 | Prepare the asynchronous buffer manager |
| 6 | Verify the installation |
Buffer storage is acquired from extended CSA (ECSA subpool 241). The operating system parameter CSA in the IEASYSxx member of SYS1.PARMLIB defines the size available. It may need to be increased if a large buffer is required.
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 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.
If you are using System Maintenance Aid (SMA), refer to the SMA documentation (included on the current edition of the Natural documentation CD). If you are not using SMA, perform steps 1a, 1b and 1c as described in this section:
Note:
If the datasets for more than one product are delivered on the tape,
the dataset COPY.JOB contains the JCL to unload the datasets for all delivered
products from the tape to your disk. After that, you will have to perform the
individual install procedure for each component.
The data set COPY.JOB (label 2) contains the JCL to unload all other existing data sets from tape to disk. To unload COPY.JOB, use the following sample JCL:
//SAGTAPE JOB SAG,CLASS=1,MSGCLASS=X //* --------------------------------- //COPY EXEC PGM=IEBGENER //SYSUT1 DD DSN=COPY.JOB, // DISP=(OLD,PASS), // UNIT=(CASS,,DEFER), // VOL=(,RETAIN,SER=<Tnnnnn>), // LABEL=(2,SL) //SYSUT2 DD DSN=<hilev>.COPY.JOB, // DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE), // UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=<vvvvvv>, // SPACE=(TRK,(1,1),RLSE), // DCB=*.SYSUT1 //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD DUMMY //
where: <hilev> is a valid high level qualifier <Tnnnnn> is the tape number <vvvvvv> is the desired volser
Modify the COPY.JOB to conform with your local naming conventions and set the disk space parameters before submitting this job:
set HILEV to a valid high level qualifier
set LOCATION to a storage location
set EXPDT to a valid expiration date
Submit COPY.JOB to unload all other data sets from the tape to your disk.
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=ndb,FNR=ndb
To enable the Adabas Fastpath client process
for the Adabas System Coordinator:
make the modified Adabas link module available (COMPLIB for Com-plete, DFHRPL for CICS, STEPLIB for all other client systems);
make the generated configuration module CORCFG available (COMPLIB for Com-plete, STEPLIB for all other client systems); and
make the Adabas System Coordinator load library available (COMPLIB for Com-plete, STEPLIB for all other client systems).
for Adabas Fastpath:
make the Adabas Fastpath load library available (COMPLIB for Com-plete, STEPLIB for all other client systems).
To enable the Adabas Fastpath database process
for the Adabas System Coordinator:
make the Adabas System Coordinator load library available.
for Adabas Fastpath:
set the Adabas parameter ADARUN
FASTPATH=YES; and
make the Adabas Fastpath load library available.
Note:
An unmodified ADALNK must be available to the database in preference
to the ADALNK created during the installation of the Adabas System
Coordinator.
The asynchronous buffer manager (ABM) runs as an optional service within the Adabas System Coordinator daemon.
To enable the ABM for the Adabas System Coordinator daemon:
make the generated primary and alternate (if used) 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.
