This document covers the following topics:
Entire Net-Work Administration 6.2 requires the Adabas 8 components supplied in Adabas Limited Load Library (WAL). However, before Entire Net-Work Administration can function correctly, the most recent fix data set must be concatenated in front of the standard WAL load library.
Be sure your enterprise is running with the most current fix solution for WAL supported by Entire Net-Work Administration 6.2, when available for that platform.
All nodes in your network must either be running Entire Net-Work 6.2 SP2 or must have zaps WM621028 (for Entire Net-Work version 6.2 SP1 installations) or WM612033 (for Entire Net-Work version 6.1 SP3 installations) applied. Either 6.2 SP2 must be installed or these zaps must be applied to all nodes that will connect together, regardless of the operating system or whether Adabas Cluster Services exists on the node. If a node that does not meet these requirements attempts to connect to a node that does meet the requirements, message NETT029I will be issued and the connection will fail. If a node that does not meet these requirements attempts to connect via IUCV to a node that does meet the requirements, one of the nodes will get message NET0151I and the connection will fail.
In addition, you should also be sure to apply any corequisite zaps. For Adabas Cluster Services the following corequisite zaps are required to support the Entire Net-Work WM621028 and WM612033 zaps:
In Adabas 8.2 SP2 environments, apply zaps AN822075 and AN822121.
In Adabas 8.1 SP4 environments, apply zaps AN814126, AN814157, and AN814177.
In Adabas 8.1 SP3 environments, apply zaps AN813290, AN813319, and AN813336.

Software AG provides support for the operating system versions supported by their respective manufacturers. Generally, when an operating system provider stops supporting a version of an operating system, Software AG will stop supporting that operating system version.
Although it may be technically possible to run a new version of Entire Net-Work Administration on an old operating system, Software AG cannot continue to support operating system versions that are no longer supported by the system’s provider.
If you have questions about support, or if you plan to install Entire Net-Work Administration on a release, version, or type of operating system other than those included at the link above, consult Software AG technical support to determine whether support is possible, and under what circumstances.
