Windows 2000 Professional
Windows 2000 Server
Windows 2000 Advanced Server

The following minimum space and memory quantities are required for this version of Entire Net-Work:
On Windows and UNIX systems: 20 MB disk space for the Software AG Directory Server, 25MB disk space for Entire Net-Work Client, and 30 MB disk space for Entire Net-Work (with no log files)
On OpenVMS systems : 20MB disk space for the Software AG Directory Server, 33MB disk space for Entire Net-Work Client, and 30MB disk space for Entire Net-Work (with no log files)
Refer to your System Management Hub (SMH) documentation for an estimate of the space its requires.
On all operating systems, 128MB or more RAM is required to run the components of this version of Entire Net-Work
If you attempt to install and use Entire Net-Work in a system with a firewall in place, be sure that your system administrator has set up the firewall so that the Entire Net-Work component applications can access the ports they need (including the Software AG Directory Server port and those Entire Net-Work dynamically assigns during its own processing). For more information about Entire Net-Work ports, read Port Number Reference. For information about configuring Entire Net-Work components for Windows XP personal firewall, read Configuring Entire Net-Work Components for Windows XP Personal Firewall.
Adabas 3.3.1 patch level 9 or later is a prerequisite for Entire Net-Work Server 7.3. Using older Adabas patch levels or versions may lead to hanging transactions.
Entire Net-Work uses the Software AG Directory Server as well as System Management Hub (SMH), which can be installed from the Entire Net-Work CD. In addition, Entire Net-Work Server is used to provide communications with Adabas databases and as a concentrator for non-Adabas servers (such as EntireX Communicator, Tamino, and Adabas SQL Gateway). For information regarding which releases of these Software AG products are currently supported, refer to the documentation for the appropriate product.
Note:
If you attempt to install Entire Net-Work in a system with a firewall in
place, be sure that your system administrator has opened the firewall for the
Software AG Directory Server port or the installation may not complete successfully.
If the Software AG Directory Server is installed and used by a prior version of Entire Net-Work, be sure to use the existing Software AG Directory Server port number setting for the Entire Net-Work 7.3 installation. You can change the port number after Entire Net-Work 7.3 is installed. For complete information on changing the Directory Server port number used, read .
The following restrictions exist in Entire Net-Work 7:
The MHDR protocol is not supported.
RDA-based calls do not support two-byte database IDs; therefore access is limited to database IDs less than 256. If your application needs to access a mainframe database with an ID greater than 255, you must use Entire Net-Work e-business connections or the TCP/IP protocol with the Entire Net-Work mainframe Simple Connection (TCPX) Line Driver. For more information, read your Entire Net-Work mainframe documentation.
