Before you install Adabas Manager, be sure your system meets the requirements described in the previous section Prerequisites.
Adabas Manager 7.7.4 requires System Management Hub (SMH) version 8.1.2.397.
The system will check during the installation process if the required version of System Management Hub is available on your system and will install it if it is not found. If Ssystem Management Hub is already installed as a previous version, this version is upgraded automatically to version 8.1.2.397 during installation of Adabas Manager.
Important:
All System Management Hub related
services must be stopped before the installation or the system will fail.
After
the installation, Software AG recommends disabling script scanning for the web
browser session used for System Management Hub to
improve the performance. For details on the risks and benefits of disabled
script scanning, see the information in Empower, Software AG's global
extranet.
Entire Net-Work Client is provided to ensure that you can use the Simple Connection Line Driver, even if you do not have Entire Net-Work 7 (or higher) on open systems installed. It also provides you with access to the Software AG Directory Server and SMH required for Simple Connection Line Driver and Entire Net-Work e-business Clients. This is required for the remote administration of Adabas mainframe databases.
Adabas Manager 7.7.4 requires Entire Net-Work Client version 1.4.
If Entire Net-Work is not already running on your mainframe system, install Entire Net-Work Administration as described in the Entire Net-Work Administration documentation.
On the client side (where Adabas Manager is installed), install Entire Net-Work Client as described in Entire Net-Work Client Administration in the Entire Net-Work Administration documentation.
If you install Adabas Manager under UNIX, the system will check during the installation process if Entire Net-Work Client is available on your system. If Entire Net-Work Client is not already installed, the installation is preselected in the Choose Programs step of the Adabas Manager installation and will be installed if is is not deselected. If WCL is already installed as a version lower than 1.4, this version is upgraded automatically to version 1.4 during the installation procecess. For detailed information please see the install.txt on the distribution medium (the contents of this file are displayed automatically at the beginning of the installation).
Once you have installed the Entire Net-Work Client components, you must manually set up Directory Server target entries in the System Management Hub to support the Simple Connection Line Driver. Specifically, one XTSaccess (access) target entry must be created in the Directory Server for each open systems Adabas database you want to access using the Simple Connection Line Driver. For information on how to do this, see the section Required Post-Installation Updates for Simple Connection Line Driver Support in the Entire Net-Work Client Administration documentation.
Note:
We recommend that you use only one Directory Server for all Software
AG products that require it.
Adabas Manager and System Management Hub require an Internet browser. For information on supported browsers, see the webMethods System Requirements on the Software AG Documentation web site.
