versioning.
This document covers the following topics:
This section describes how to install Entire Net-Work Client on Windows systems. Prior to attempting the installation, verify that you have met all of the requirements described in Platform Coverage, Prerequisites, and Restrictions.
To install an Entire Net-Work Client on Windows:
Shut down all open applications, especially those applications interacting with or depending on your Adabas databases. This includes Natural, the Adabas DBA Workbench, and prior releases of Entire Net-Work Client.
Insert the Entire Net-Work installation CD into your CD-ROM drive.
The following executable files can be found on the CD:
| Executable File Name | Use to Install Component | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ADISETUP.EXE | Software AG Directory Server | Run this executable file to install the
Software AG Directory Server. Entire Net-Work Client requires that the Directory Server be available to the installation
or that it be installed as part of the installation.
If the Directory Server has already been installed in your enterprise, you do not need to install it again -- although multiple installations of the Directory Server in the enterprise are allowed (for more details, read Software AG Directory Server Installation). If you elect to install the Software AG Directory Server, its installation must occur before any other components you might also select to install. |
| WCPSETUP.EXE | Entire Net-Work Server | Run this executable file to install Entire Net-Work Server. |
| WCLSETUP.EXE | Entire Net-Work Client | Run this executable file to install Entire Net-Work Client.
The installation of Entire Net-Work Client always includes the installation of the Adabas Client software. |
| WCBSETUP.EXE | Entire Net-Work Administration Open Systems | Run this executable file to install the System
Management Hub (SMH) as well as all the agents necessary to perform Entire Net-Work Client
maintenance.
If SMH is already installed in your enterprise, it should not be installed again. Only one SMH is required to manage all Software AG products that require it. However, you should run this installation on the machine on which SMH is installed to ensure that the Entire Net-Work Client agents required for SMH are installed. Note: For more information, read Entire Net-Work Administration Open Systems Installation. |
Locate and run the appropriate executable file on the CD-ROM. If you only want to install Entire Net-Work Client, only run WCLSETUP.EXE.
The Welcome panel appears.
Follow the prompts on the installation panels. The following panels should be noted:
On the Installation Instructions panel, read the installation instructions and click to continue. If you click , the installation will stop.
On the License Agreement panel, read the installation instructions and click to accept the license agreement and continue. If you click , the installation will stop.
When the Directory Server Access panel appears, specify the host name (or IP address) and port number of the Directory Server that should be used by this installation. For complete information on the port used by the Directory Server, read The Directory Server Port Number.
If the installation is not successful, you will receive one of several possible error messages. Contact your local distributor for information about customer support services. If the installation fails, it is likely that some parts of the product will have been installed. Therefore, before you attempt to install Entire Net-Work again, run the installation program to remove it. See Uninstalling Entire Net-Work Client for instructions on removing the product.
