Version 8.1.4
 —  Installation  —

Installing on z/VM

The Adabas TXTLIB contains the Adabas Online System member AOSASM. The Adabas Online System TXTLIB contains the member ADAAOS.

Start of instruction setTo install AOS on a z/VM system:

  1. To use the full version of AOS, you must copy the contents of the AOS version 8.1 load library to the base Adabas version 8.1 (or Adabas 7.4) load library with the REPLACE option to make AOS licensed (otherwise AOS will execute in 'Demo Mode'). This library must be available to the Adabas nucleus. To make it available, restart the Adabas nucleus. When allocated to the running Adabas environment, this completes the AOS to make it a licensed copy.

    Note:
    The AOS load modules can also be made available to Adabas by concatenating the AOS load library to the Adabas load library in the Adabas startup JCL.

  2. Use the EXEC called AOSINPL provided by Adabas to load the provided AOS INPL tape data set using Natural version 4.1 or above.

    The data set itself is in Natural 4.1 format and is placed in the library SYSAOS.

    Verify you have handled the requirements regarding the INPL-formatted data set, as described in Installation Requirement.

  3. Before executing Natural under z/VM, issue a GLOBAL TXTLIB command for the Adabas TXTLIB library containing member AOSASM. This ensures that AOSASM is available for the Natural TXTLIB.

  4. Load the AOS error messages using the Natural utility ERRLODUS.

    The error messages are stored in an ERRN-formatted data set included on the tape.

    See the Natural Utilities documentation for information about the ERRLODUS utility.

  5. Execute AOS by logging on to the application library SYSAOS and entering the command MENU.

  6. Before executing Adabas under z/VM, issue a GLOBAL TXTLIB command for the Adabas Online System TXTLIB library containing member ADAAOS. This ensures that ADAAOS is available for the Adabas TXTLIB.
