Statistics Integrated into webMethods Optimize for Infrastructure
New Entire Net-Work Batch Directory Server Utility Functions
The ability to control the level of the traces you request for Entire Net-Work has been enhanced in this release. More specific tracing options are now available, making it possible for you to increase or decrease the size of the tracing log (and thus making problem analysis more specific and efficient). For complete information, read about Entire Net-Work Client traces, Entire Net-Work Server traces, and Kernel traces at one of the following links:

In this release, Entire Net-Work key performance indicator (KPI) statistics are now provided to webMethods Optimize for Infrastructure. Using the Optimize component of webMethods Optimize for Infrastructure, you can monitor the status of these statistics as well as the overall status of your system. This support is available in version 8.2 (and later versions) of webMethods Optimize for Infrastructure.
This release supports the Adabas 6.2 expansion of the Adabas session ID from 20 to 28 bytes. The Adabas session ID now includes an eight-byte timestamp that ensures that the session ID is unique.
In this release, you no longer need to restart your clients when an Adabas database is shutdown and restarted. Instead, the client contexts to the Adabas database are now reestablished once the database is restarted.
Support for 64-bit Adabas has been added to this release. This release supports both 32- and 64-bit Adabas.
Windows Server 2008 64-bit support has been added in this release.
The installation for Entire Net-Work open systems and its components have been simplified in this release. Separate installations are provided for the Software AG Directory Server, Entire Net-Work Administration Open Systems, Entire Net-Work Server, and Entire Net-Work Client. For more information, read the installation documentation.
With this release, no license is required for Entire Net-Work Client 1.4 installations, although a license is still required for Entire Net-Work Server 7.4.
The migration between Entire Net-Work 7.3 and 7.4 has been simplified primarily because the two releases can now coexist on the same machine. You can set up and test Entire Net-Work 7.4 on a machine while running 7.3 on the same machine in production.
Likewise, the migration between Entire Net-Work Client 1.3 and 1.4 has been simplified primarily because the two releases can now coexist on the same machine.
A new batch utility is provided, wcpadmin, that allows you to perform some of the Entire Net-Work service functions in batch mode. For complete information, read .
Two new Entire Net-Work utility functions with focus on the Software AG Directory Server availability and settings are now provided for you to use in batch mode:
Use the checkadi utility function to check for a Directory Server.
Use the setadi utility function to set Directory Server access parameters for Entire Net-Work and Entire Net-Work Client.
