This document provides information needed to install Adabas in batch mode and with its teleprocessing (TP) monitors. It covers the following topics:

• Preparing Adabas Link Routines for z/VSE

• General Considerations for Installing Adabas with CICS

• Installing Adabas with CICS under Adabas 8

• Installing Adabas with Com-plete under Adabas 8

• Installing Adabas with Batch under Adabas 8

• Establishing Adabas SVC Routing by Adabas Database ID

• Modifying Source Member Defaults (LGBLSET Macro) in Version 8

Preparing Adabas Link Routines for z/VSE

This section covers the following topics:

• High-Level Assembler

• Addressing Mode Assembly Directives

• UES-Enabled Link Routines

Important:
If an ADALNK batch link routine has been modified to accommodate the needs of an Adabas product extension (such as Adabas Review), it should not be used for the Adabas nucleus or Adabas utility jobs.

High-Level Assembler

IBM has dropped support for the old VSE assembler and Software AG supports assembling the Adabas link components with the high-level assembler only.

Addressing Mode Assembly Directives

The Adabas link routines now have AMODE and RMODE assembly directives in the source. These allow the linkage editor to produce warning messages when conflicting AMODE or RMODE linkage editor control statements are encountered in the link JCS or EXECs.

These assembly directives also serve to document the preferred AMODE and RMODE for each link routine. It is important to note that in and of themselves, these directives do not alter the actual addressing mode of the link routine during execution.

The batch link routine ADALNK has the following AMODE and RMODE assembly directives:

ADABAS AMODE 31
ADABAS RMODE 24

Software AG recommends RMODE 24 for the z/VSE non-reentrant batch link routine (ADALNK.PHASE).

Modifying the Assembly Directives

These directives may be changed by modifying the linkage editor control statements. For example, to link the batch ADALNK module with AMODE31 and an RMODE ANY, the following control statements may be provided as input to the linkage editor:

PHASE ADALNK,*
MODE AMODE(31),RMODE(ANY)

The linkage editor control statements override the Assembler directives in the provided object module.

For more information about the AMODE and RMODE directives and their effects on the assembler, linkage editor, and execution, consult IBM's VSE Extended Addressability Guide.

Re-linking Adabas 8 Link Routines

When re-linking the Adabas 8 link routines with certain AMODE and RMODE combinations, a warning message may be generated by the linkage editor. This may be safely ignored as long as it pertains to a conflict of AMODE or RMODE in the ESD record of one or more of the load modules that comprise the link routine, and as long as the resulting module has the proper AMODE and RMODE attributes for execution with the intended calling application programs.

Care must be taken to ensure that AMODE(24) applications will operate properly when invoking the link routine with the attributes chosen when it is re-linked. This is particularly important if the RMODE(ANY) attribute is associated with a link routine that will be loaded dynamically but invoked by a program that is AMODE(24). In this case, the link routine should be re-linked AMODE(31),RMODE(24) to avoid addressing exception ABENDs because the AMODE(24) application cannot correctly invoke the link routine if it resides above the 16-megabyte line.

The Adabas 8 link routines all run AMODE(31) after initialization, but they will return to the caller in the caller's AMODE.

Note:
Under CICS, the V8 links run AMODE(31), but the Dataloc RDO parameter governs the AMODE and RMODE of the running CICS transaction.

The batch z/VSE link routine, ADALNK, has been assembled and link-edited AMODE(31,RMODE(24). This provides the most flexible configuration for most z/VSE applications that will invoke it. It may be re-linked AMODE(31),RMODE(ANY), but you must be certain that no AMODE(24) applications will invoke it.

The reentrant batch link routine, ADALNKR, has been assembled AMODE(31),RMODE(24). It may be re-linked AMODE(31),RMODE(ANY) if no AMODE(24) applications will invoke it.

The z/VSE Com-plete link routine, ADALCO, has been assembled and link-edited AMODE(31),RMODE(24), and this is the required configuration for ADALCO under z/VSE Com-plete because ADALCO still uses z/VSE macros and services which require it to reside below the 16-megabyte line.

All of the Adabas 8 CICS link routine modules - ADACICS, ADACICT, and ADACIC0 - have been assembled and link-edited AMODE(31),RMODE(ANY). CICS manages the loading of programs and their invocation depending on the DATALOC values associated with their program and transaction definitions.

ADAUSER AMODE/RMODE Considerations

Software AG recommends that all batch applications invoke Adabas calls through the ADAUSER module. This module is normally link-edited with the application program and it then loads the appropriate link routine as well as ADARUN and ADAIOR/ADAIOS. The source member has the AMODE and RMODE directives coded as AMODE 31, RMODE ANY. This is the most flexible configuration for assembling and linking ADAUSER with the widest variety of application programs. However, if ADAUSER is dynamically loaded, either the RMODE assembler directive should be changed to RMODE 24 before re-assembling it or the ADAUSER module should be re-linked AMODE(31),RMODE(24) to ensure that AMODE 24 application programs may invoke it properly below the 16-megabyte line.

UES-Enabled Link Routines

For prior versions of Adabas, UES is enabled by default for only the batch and Com-plete link routines. As of Adabas version 8, UES is enabled by default for all link routines, including the CICS link routines. It is not necessary to disable UES support. Applications that do not require UES translation continue to work properly even when the UES components are linked with the Adabas link routines. See the section Enabling Universal Encoding Support (UES) for Your Adabas Nucleus for more information.

This section covers the following topics:

Default or Customized Translation Tables

By default, the load modules for all Adabas 8 link routines have been linked with LNKUES and the default translation tables.

LNKUES converts data in the Adabas buffers and byte-swaps, if necessary, depending on the data architecture of the caller.

The two standard translation tables are:

• ASC2EBC: ASCII to EBCDIC translation; and

• EBC2ASC: EBCDIC to ASCII translation.

The Adabas translation table pair is provided in the section Translation Tables.

You may use the load modules with the default translation tables linked in, or you may prepare your own customized translation tables, re-assemble the tables, and link them with the LNKUES module that is delivered.

Notes:

1. It should only be necessary to modify these translation tables in the rare case that some country-specific character other than "A-Z a-z 0-9" must be used in the Additions 1 (user ID) or Additions 3 field of the control block.
2. The load module LNKUESL delivered with earlier levels of Adabas Version 7 is no longer supplied since the link jobs now specify the LNKUES or LNKUES7 module and the translation tables separately.
3. The LNKUES module is functionally reentrant; however, they is not linked that way in the Adabas load library.
4. When linking the LNKUES load module and the translation tables, the linkage editor may produce warning messages concerning the reentrant or reusability status of the linked module. These warning messages can be ignored.
5. If relinking an Adabas 8 link routine for UES support, the LNKUES module must be included. This will ensure that your new Adabas 8 applications have support for Adabas 8 direct calls and control blocks.

Calling LNKUES

LNKUES is called only on Adabas link routine request (X'1C') and reply (X'20') calls if the first byte of the communication ID contains X'01' and the second byte does not have the EBCDIC (X'04') bit set. In Adabas 8 requests, LNKUES receives control before LUEXIT1. In Adabas 8 replies, LNKUES receives control after LUEXIT2.

Adabas 8 Jobs for z/VSE Universal Encoding Support

The following lists the sample jobs provided to manage universal encoding support in Adabas link routines in z/VSE environments:

Before you can use any of these jobs, they should be edited to prepare the job power statements, provide the proper names for the procedures and libraries referenced, and all necessary extent and volume information. Refer to the comments in the jobs themselves for more information.

Disabling UES Support for Adabas 8 Link Routines

This section describes how to disable UES support in the Adabas 8 Com-plete and batch link routines, if for some reason you feel it is necessary.

To disable UES support in link routines:

1. Edit the link globals table for the associated link routine. Set the UES parameter setting to NO.

2. Assemble the link globals table after making any other necessary modifications to any other keyword directives in the source module as required by your installation.

3. Link the Adabas link routine with the newly assembled link globals table and do not include any of the UES components (that is, LNKUES, ASC2EBC, or EBC2ASC).

For more information about the specific link routines, read Installing Adabas with Com-plete under Adabas 8, and Installing Adabas with Batch under Adabas 8.

General Considerations for Installing Adabas with CICS

The Adabas command-level link routine supports the CICS transaction server (TS) 1.1 running under z/VSE 2.4 and above.

How Adabas is installed on CICS-based systems depends on the level of CICS being run:

• The command-level link from Adabas 8 cannot be used with CICS/VSE 2.3. Instead, you must use the command-level link routine for Adabas Version 7.4.4 or the macro-level link routine provided in source in the 7.4.4 VSE sublibrary with CICS/VSE 2.3 environments.

• CICS TS 1.1 running under z/VSE 2.4 and above must run a current version of Adabas and use the command-level link component.

Note:
The OPID option for the USERID field is not supported under CICS/VS 2.3 and above; therefore, it is not provided with the command-level link routine.

This section covers the following topics:

• CICS Release Support

• CICS MRO Environment Requirements

• Sample Resource Definitions

• Requirement for CICS Command Resource Security

CICS Release Support

IBM has not announced a date for end of service for CICS/VSE 2.3. Consequently, Software AG will continue to support the Adabas CICS 7.4.4 link routines, particularly the macro-level ADALNC routine on systems running CICS/VSE 2.3 until IBM drops support for that level of CICS.

For CICS/TS 1.1 and above for VSE, the Adabas 8 CICS link components are supported and the Adabas CICS 7.4 link routines will not be supported when general support for Adabas 7.4.4 is terminated by Software AG.

CICS MRO Environment Requirements

If you run the Adabas CICS command-level link routine with the CICS multiple region option (MRO), you must set the LGBLSET option MRO=YES and use the default value for the LGBLSET NETOPT option.

You can use the LGBLSET NTGPID option to provide a 4-byte literal for the Adabas communication ID to be used by the Adabas SVC when applications that call Adabas span multiple application regions.

Alternatively, you can create a link user exit 1 (LUEXIT1) for the link routine that

• sets UBFLAG1 (byte X'29' in the UB DSECT) to a value of X'08' (UBF1IMSR); and

• places a 4-byte alphanumeric value in the UB field UBIMSID.

The exit then allows the Adabas SVC to provide a proper Adabas communication ID in the Adabas command queue element (CQE) even when transactions originate in multiple regions.

Sample Resource Definitions

Under CICS/TS 1.1 and above for z/VSE, the preferred method for defining and installing CICS programs and transactions is RDO (resource definition online). The CICS documentation no longer recommends the assembly of PPT and PCT entries to define resources.

Modify and use the sample DEFINE statements located in member DEFADAC as input to the IBM DFHCSDUP utility to define the Adabas CICS command-level components. Consult the appropriate IBM CICS documentation for information on the DFHCSDUP utility. The DEFADAC member can be found in the Adabas 8 CICS command-level source library (ADAvrn.LIBR).

Requirement for CICS Command Resource Security

The Adabas CICS link routines require a command security level of "UPDATE" for the EXITPROGRAM CICS command resource identifier. This allows the Adabas CICS application stub to issue the EXEC CICS EXTRACT EXIT command without raising the NOTAUTH response from CICS and the security software. The Adabas CICS application stub needs to issue the EXEC CICS EXTRACT EXIT to determine that the given Adabas task-related user exit (TRUE) is installed and enabled, and to locate the CICS global work area (GWA) associated with the given TRUE so that various data structures are made available to the Adabas CICS application stub programs.

Installing Adabas with CICS under Adabas 8

A CICS application that uses Adabas services requires an Adabas CICS execution unit to function.

In Adabas versions prior to 8.2, the Adabas CICS execution unit was comprised of:

• the Adabas CICS stub, ADACICS

• the stub module's direct call interface ADADCI

• the Adabas task-related user exit (TRUE), ADACICT

• the globals table, named CICSGBL by default.

The stub module needs to know the name of the Adabas TRUE it is to invoke. In addition, the Adabas TRUE needs to know the name of the globals table so that it can obtain run-time information, such as the locations of callable exits and the settings of various operating parameters (such as the length of user information).

Effective with Adabas 8.2 and later versions, the Adabas CICS execution unit is comprised of:

• the Adabas CICS stub, ADACICS

• an Adabas CICS names module, ACINAMES

• one or more Adabas task-related user exits (TRUEs), ADACICT

• a globals table associated with the stub module and the TRUE.

The names module (ACINAMES) is linked with the stub (ADACICS) to provide the name of the associated TRUE and the globals table for a given CICS application. In addition, an Adabas CICS installation options table (ACIOPT) is required and used by the Adabas CICS installation program, ADACIC0, to load the Adabas globals tables required by the Adabas CICS execution units that will be installed and activated in the CICS region.

This section covers the following topics:

• The Adabas CICS Application Stub (ADACICS)

• The Adabas CICS Names Module (ACINAMES)

• The Adabas CICS Installation Options Table (ACIOPT)

• The MACINS Macro

• The MACIOPT Macro

• Adabas Task-Related User Exits (TRUEs)

• Supplied Modules

• Installation Procedure Under Adabas 8

The Adabas CICS Application Stub (ADACICS)

The Adabas application stub is invoked via EXEC CICS LINK or via the direct-call interface from a CICS application program that intends to use Adabas database services. The stub consists of the ADACICS module, the ADADCI module, the CICS modules DFHEAI and DFHEAI0, and the ACINAMES module. The resultant load module may be given any name that is specified in the link globals ENTPT keyword for the Adabas execution unit. The new module name is most easily created with the linkage editor.

The Adabas CICS Names Module (ACINAMES)

The Adabas CICS names module (ACINAMES) is a small stub containing the name of the TRUE to be invoked from this stub and the name of the link globals table associated with the Adabas CICS execution unit. The link globals table also contains the names of the stub and the TRUE, but linking it with the stub has the following performance disadvantages:

• The stub is functionally reentrant and the link globals table in CICS is modifiable during execution

• Linking the globals table with the stub would also cause duplicate copies of the link globals table to be kept in CICS storage at the same time, wasting space and possibly leading to problems if the copy loaded by ADACIC0 differs from the copy linked with the Adabas stub

Using the ACINAMES module allows you to relink the Adabas CICS stub with any supported load module name and gives that stub the ability to invoke the Adabas CICS TRUE with the name provided in the ACINAMES module. The TRUE may also be relinked with any given valid load module name. This permits the CICS region to execute different Adabas stubs and TRUEs built out of the same load modules but tailored as required for different CICS applications. No changes are needed in the CICS application programs themselves.

The Adabas CICS names module is built using the MACINS macro. The ACINAMES module may be given any load module name, but the generated CSECT name (ordinarily generated by the MACINS macro assembly job, ASMCINS.X) within the load module must be ACINAMES.

The Adabas CICS Installation Options Table (ACIOPT)

An additional component, an Adabas CICS installation options table (ACIOPT) is required and used by the Adabas CICS installation program, ADACIC0, to load the Adabas globals tables required by the Adabas CICS execution units that will be installed and activated in the CICS region.

The Adabas CICS installation options table is built using the MACIOPT macro (see the MACIOPT macro assembly job, ASMCOPT.X).

The MACINS Macro

Use the MACINS macro to build the Adabas CICS names module, ACINAMES. The ACINAMES module may be given any load module name, but the generated CSECT name (ordinarily generated by the MACINS macro job) within the load module must be ACINAMES. In addition, the ACINAMES module should be included when the Adabas CICS stub is relinked.

The MACINS macro is provided in the Adabas CICS z/VSE sublibrary.

The syntax of the MACINS macro is shown below:

All MACINS parameters are required and are described in the following table:

Example

In the following example, an ACINAMES module is prepared for an Adabas CICS stub named ADABAS that will use an ADABAS CICS TRUE named ADATRUE and a link globals table named CICSGBL. The source member to create the ACINAMES module might look like this:

*        Sample "ACINAMES" for Adabas 8.2 multiple-TRUE support.
         MACINS TRUENAME=ADATRUE,                                      X
               GTNAME=CICSGBL

The MACIOPT Macro

Use the MACIOPT macro to build the Adabas CICS installation options table which may either be linked with ADACIC0 or, if named ACIOPT (the default), is defined to CICS and loaded by ADACIC0 when the Adabas CICS installation process is started.

The MACIOPT macro is located in the ADAvrs sublibrary as member MACIOPT.A on z/VSE systems. A sample ACIOPT source member is provided in the ADAvrs sublibrary on z/VSE systems.

The syntax of the MACINS macro is shown below:

An ENTRY statement is required on every invocation of the MACIOPT macro. It designates the ENTRY type, which in turn, determines which additional parameters are valid for the given entry. The three types of ENTRY statement and their associated parameters are described in the rest of this document.

• The ENTRY=GLOBAL Statement
• The ENTRY=GROUP Statement
• The ENTRY=FINAL Statement
• Example

The ENTRY=GLOBAL Statement

The ENTRY=GLOBAL statement is always the first entry for the ACIOPT source member. Only one ENTRY=GLOBAL statement should be specified per source member and it should precede all other MACIOPT statements.

The ENTRY=GLOBAL statement specifies global parameters to be used by the CICS installation program. The parameters associated with ENTRY=GLOBAL are described in the table below:

The ENTRY=GROUP Statement

ENTRY=GROUP statements define the names of the Adabas globals tables that should be loaded and used to install the Adabas CICS execution units. More than one ENTRY=GROUP statement can be specified in the ACIOPT source member; all ENTRY=GROUP statements must be specified after the ENTRY=GLOBAL statement and before the ENTRY=FINAL statement.

Only one parameter can be specified for ENTRY=GROUP:

The ENTRY=FINAL Statement

The ENTRY=FINAL statement must be the last MACIOPT statement in the source member. It causes the actual ACIOPT CSECT statements to be generated. Only one ENTRY=FINAL statement may be specified in the source member.

There are no parameters for the ENTRY=FINAL statement

Example

If assembled and link-edited, the following source member will produce the load module ACIOPT and will install two Adabas CICS execution units. One will load a globals table named LNKCI02 and the other will load a globals table named CICSGBL. Installation messages will be written to the CICS transient data queue named ACIQ, if that queue is available.

         MACIOPT ENTRY=GLOBAL,IMSGDEST=TDQ,IMQNAME=ACIQ,MNTRUE=2
         MACIOPT ENTRY=GROUP,GTNAME=LNKCI02
         MACIOPT ENTRY=GROUP,GTNAME=CICSGBL
         MACIOPT ENTRY=FINAL

Adabas Task-Related User Exits (TRUEs)

In a simple Adabas CICS transaction that uses the EXEC CICS LINK command to communicate with Adabas, there should be one invocation of the Adabas Task Related User Exit (TRUE) for each EXEC CICS LINK issued from the application.

If the Adabas CICS interface employs exits such as the Adabas Fastpath exit or other System Coordinator facilities, there may be more than one invocation of the Adabas TRUE for each EXEC CICS LINK issued by the application program. Other Software AG products that can have multiple TRUE invocations for each LINK to Adabas are the Adabas Bridge for DL/I and Natural. If the Adabas high-performance stub (BALR interface) is employed by applications, including Natural, there will be multiple invocations of the Adabas TRUE for each EXEC CICS LINK to the Adabas interface module.

Adabas 8.2 introduces support for the installation of multiple CICS task-related user exits (TRUEs) and Adabas application stubs from a single execution of the ADACIC0 installation program. Multiple TRUEs allow your site to tailor different Adabas CICS execution options in the same CICS region with a centralized installation procedure and software.

The following diagram depicts the processing flow of the installation of multiple Adabas CICS TRUE and application stub support.

The following diagram depicts the processing flow of the execution of this multiple Adabas CICS TRUE and application stub support.

Supplied Modules

The following table lists the modules supplied in your Adabas installation to support the installation of Adabas 8 with CICS TP monitors.

Note:
The Adabas 8 installation supports Adabas 7 direct calls in addition to Adabas 8 calls; however, an Adabas 7 installation does not support Adabas 8 direct calls.

Installation Procedure Under Adabas 8

To install the Adabas 8 CICS link routine components, complete the following steps:

• Step 1. Modify the CICS Startup JCS
• Step 2. Prepare the Adabas CICS Installation Options Table
• Step 3. Prepare the Adabas CICS Task-Related User Exits (TRUEs) -- ADACICT
• Step 4. Prepare the Adabas CICS Names Module -- ACINAMES
• Step 5. Prepare the Adabas CICS Application Stub -- ADACICS
• Step 6. Prepare the CICS Link Globals Table -- CICSGBL.A)
• Step 7. Assemble and Link-edit the CICS Link Globals Table (ALNKCIC8.X)
• Step 8. Modify CICS Installation Values (DEFADAC.A)
• Step 9. Update the CICS CSD File (DFHCSDUP)
• Step 10. Modify, Assemble and Link the CICS PLTPI Table for ADACIC0
• Step 11. Update, Assemble and Link-edit the Destination Control Table (DCTACI.A)
• Step 12. Start the CICS

Step 1. Modify the CICS Startup JCS

Modify the CICS startup JCS to include the Adabas 8 sublibrary in the LIBDEF chain. This includes the phases ADACIC0, ADACICS, ACACICT and any renamed versions of ADACICS or ADACICT.

Step 2. Prepare the Adabas CICS Installation Options Table

An Adabas CICS installation options table (ACIOPT) is required to identify all the Adabas globals tables that will be needed for the proper execution of each Adabas CICS execution unit in the CICS region or CICSplex. The installation program (ADACIC0) run in Step 12 will obtain information of a global nature from the table such as the destination for writing of installation messages. It will also scan the table and load each Adabas globals table named in the ACIOPT module. In turn, each loaded globals table serves as the basis for installing each Adabas CICS execution unit.

The Adabas CICS installation options table is built by coding a series of MACIOPT macros into a source member, then assembling and linking that source member into a library that will be available during CICS execution. The load module may be linked:

• With the ADACIC0 installation program, or

• As a standalone module named "ACIOPT", which is then defined as a program of the same name to CICS.

For best performance, Software AG recommends linking a standalone ACIOPT module, defining it to CICS as program ACIOPT. This will allow ADACIC0 to load ACIOPT during the installation process. A sample job, ASMCOPT.X , is provided.

To prepare the Adabas CICS installation options table, complete the following steps:

1. Code a source member, preferably called ACIOPT that contains MACIOPT macro statements to be loaded by the ADACIC0 program at execution time. The MACIOPT macro statements define each globals table that will be needed by each Adabas CICS execution unit.

   The ACIOPT source member will consist of one MACIOPT ENTRY=GLOBAL entry, multiple MACIOPT ENTRY=GROUP entries and one MACIOPT ENTRY=FINAL entry.

   • The MACIOPT ENTRY=GLOBAL specification must be first specification in the source member; only one MACIOPT ENTRY=GLOBAL specification can be made per ACIOPT generation.

   • The MACIOPT ENTRY=FINAL specification must be the last entry for the ACIOPT generation; only one MACIOPT ENTRY=FINAL specification can be made per ACIOPT generation.

   • Multiple MACIOPT ENTRY=GROUP entries may be specified, but they must follow the MACIOPT ENTRY=GLOBAL specification and precede the MACIOPT ENTRY=FINAL specification in the source member.

   The MACIOPT macro is located in the ADAvrs sublibrary as member MACIOPT.A on z/VSE systems. For complete information on the MACIOPT macro, read The MACIOPT Macro, elsewhere in this section.

2. Assemble and link the ACIOPT source module either as the standalone module named "ACIOPT" or with any load module name linked with ADACIC0. If linked as a standalone module it must be named "ACIOPT" and it must be defined as a program to CICS.

   The ACIOPT module may be defined to CICS using the CEDA/RDO facility or the DFHCSDUP utility. Sample DFHCSDUP statements are provided in the DEFADAC member in the ADAvrs sublibrary on z/VSE systems.

Step 3. Prepare the Adabas CICS Task-Related User Exits (TRUEs) -- ADACICT

An Adabas task-related user exit (TRUE) is created by relinking the Adabas ADACICT module with a NAME statement, providing the desired TRUE name. One or more Adabas TRUEs can be created. A sample job, LNKATRU.X , is provided.

Note:
The Adabas TRUE name is specified later in the TRUENM parameter in the link globals table (set Step 6) and in the TRUENAME parameter when the ACINAMES module (see Step 4) is prepared.

To prepare the Adabas CICS TRUE, complete the following steps:

1. Relink the ADACICT module with a PHASE statement giving a new name for each Adabas TRUE.

2. Define each named Adabas TRUE as a program to CICS.

Example

For example, the following link-edit control statements would create an Adabas TRUE called "ADATRUE":

  PHASE ADATRUE,*
  MODE AMODE(31),RMODE(ANY)
  INCLUDE DFHEAI
  INCLUDE ADACICT
  INCLUDE LNKCIM
  INCLUDE LNKDSL
  INCLUDE RTRVSE
  ENTRY ADACICT
// EXEC LNKEDT ...

Step 4. Prepare the Adabas CICS Names Module -- ACINAMES

The ACINAMES module is a small stub containing the name of the TRUE to be invoked from this stub and the name of the link globals table associated with the Adabas execution unit. After the ACINAMES source member is coded, it should be provided as input to the assembler and either punched by the assembler to a text library or directly link-edited as a load module. The subsequent text deck or load module would then be made available to the linkage editor when the Adabas CICS stub is relinked to change its name or to update the ACINAMES module it uses.

To prepare the ACINAMES module, complete the following step:

• Code the source for the ACINAMES module using the MACINS macro. For complete information, read The MACINS Macro.

  The MACINS macro is provided in the Adabas CICS z/VSE sublibrary.

Example

For example, the source member to create the ACINAMES module might look like this:

*        Sample "ACINAMES" for Adabas 8.2 multiple-TRUE support.
         MACINS TRUENAME=ADATRUE,                                      X
               GTNAME=CICSGBL

This ACINAMES module uses an ADABAS CICS TRUE named ADATRUE and a link globals table named CICSGBL.

Step 5. Prepare the Adabas CICS Application Stub -- ADACICS

The Adabas application stub is invoked via EXEC CICS LINK or via the direct-call interface from a CICS application program that intends to use Adabas database services. The application stub consists of the ADACICS module, the ADADCI module, the CICS modules DFHEAI and DFHEAI0 and the ACINAMES module. The resultant load module may be given any name that is specified in the link globals ENTPT keyword for the Adabas execution unit. The new module name is most easily created with the linkage editor.

A sample job, ASMCINS.X , is provided.

To prepare the CICS application stub (ADACICS), complete the following step:

• Relink the Adabas CICS application stub module, ADACICS, replacing ACINAMES in the module with the name of the ACINAMES module created in the previous step (Step 4).

Example

For example, the link-edit control statements to create the Adabas module as the Adabas CICS stub might be:

  PHASE ADABAS,*
  MODE AMODE(31),RMODE(ANY)
  INCLUDE DFHEAI
  INCLUDE ADACICS
  INCLUDE ADADCI
  INCLUDE ACINAMES
  ENTRY ADACICS
// EXEC LNKEDT ...

In this example, the prepared ACINAMES module is used for an Adabas CICS stub named ADABAS.

Step 6. Prepare the CICS Link Globals Table -- CICSGBL.A)

Link globals tables must be prepared to match the Adabas CICS execution units defined in the ACIOPT module. These are built by editing or creating source members that use the LGBLSET macro and its keywords.

Modify the sample CICSGBL.A member found in the Adabas 8 ADAvrs sublibrary. This member contains sample default installation (LGBLSET) parameter settings. For more information about what to modify in this member, read Modifying Source Member Defaults (LGBLSET Macro) in Version 8.

Notes:

1. Adabas 8.2 no longer supports the ADACIRQ module or the reading of an input CICS transient data queue to obtain the name of the link globals table during installation. This was necessary to permit the installation of multiple Adabas CICS execution units from the same installation program.
2. The setting for the OPSYS parameter must be set to "VSE".

To prepare the link globals table, complete the following steps:

1. Code the link globals table using the LGBLSET macro as described in Modifying Source Member Defaults (LGBLSET Macro) in Version 8.

   The OPSYS parameter must be set to "VSE".

   Be sure to code the ENTPT and TRUENM parameters on each LGBLSET macro so they match the intended Adabas CICS stub name and Adabas CICS TRUE name to be used in a given Adabas CICS execution unit. The Adabas CICS installation program attempts to load each globals table in turn and uses the loaded table to provide the data required to install and activate the components of the execution unit.

2. Save the modified CICSGBL.A member with a unique name in an appropriate user sublibrary.

Step 7. Assemble and Link-edit the CICS Link Globals Table (ALNKCIC8.X)

Using sample job ALNKCIC8.X, assemble and link-edit the member you saved in the previous step into a sublibrary that will be made available to CICS in the LIBDEF concatenation. Note that any user or Software AG link routine exits should be link-edited with this load module. (For information about specific Software AG product exits, read the installation documentation for the product.)

Step 8. Modify CICS Installation Values (DEFADAC.A)

Modify the DEFADAC.A member to provide the correct name of the link routine globals default table created in the previous step (Step 6). The default module name is CICSGBL. Tailor this member for any other CICS installation values as required.

Step 9. Update the CICS CSD File (DFHCSDUP)

Run the IBM DFHCSDUP utility to update the CICS CSD file for the desired CICS using the modified DEFADAC.A member as input.

Step 10. Modify, Assemble and Link the CICS PLTPI Table for ADACIC0

Modify the CICS PLTPI table to add an entry for the CICS installation program ADACIC0. The ADACIC0 installation program will start the TRUEs once CICS is started. Use member ADAPLTXX from the Adabas 8 ADAvrn.LIBR library as a sample for enabling and starting a legacy Adabas TRUE and the new Version 8 TRUE in the second phase of the PLT.

Once the PLTPI table is modified, assemble and link the modified PLTPI table into a library that will be available to the desired CICS region.

Assemble and link the modified PLTPI table into a library that will be available to the desired CICS region.

Step 11. Update, Assemble and Link-edit the Destination Control Table (DCTACI.A)

Update a Destination Control Table (DCT) to include the entries found in member DCTACI.A in the Adabas 8 sublibrary. Assemble and link-edit this table with a unique suffix into a sublibrary that will be made available to CICS. Modify the CICS SIT parameters to reference the updated DCT.

Step 12. Start the CICS

Start the CICS and note any messages relating to the installation of the Adabas TRUE modules that appear on the console. When CICS starts, it will call ADACIC0 (because it is in the PLTPI table), which will install the Adabas CICS TRUEs.

Installing Adabas with Com-plete under Adabas 8

The following table lists the modules supplied in your Adabas installation to support the installation of Adabas with Com-plete TP monitors.

Note:
The Adabas 8 installation supports Adabas 7 direct calls in addition to Adabas 8 calls; however, an Adabas 7 installation does not support Adabas 8 direct calls.

Certain Adabas parameters are required by Com-plete, Software AG's TP monitor, when installing Adabas. For more information, see the Com-plete System Programmer's manual.

Software AG's TP monitor, Com-plete, requires an Adabas link routine if it is to communicate with Adabas databases, use Software AG's Entire Net-Work product, or use products like Entire System Server running under Com-plete. At this time, Com-plete does not support a mixed Adabas 7 and Adabas 8 link routine environment; thus Com-plete must be run with either an Adabas 7 link routine or an Adabas 8 link routine.

The Adabas Version 8 link routine is delivered in member ADALCO of the Adabas 8 sublibrary. This member must be linked with a link globals module you prepare and with any link routine exits you require to create the final ADALCO load module that is loaded by Com-plete when Com-plete is initialized. The final ADALCO load module and any exits linked with it must be reentrant.

To prepare the Adabas 8 link routine:

1. Edit the LCOGBL.A member in the Adabas 8 distribution sublibrary. LCOGBL.A is a module containing LGBLSET parameters that are used to create default settings for Com-plete link components. A complete description of LGBLSET parameters can be found in Modifying Source Member Defaults (LGBLSET Macro) in Version 8.

   Note:
   The OPSYS parameter must be set to "VSE".

2. Modify and run the ALNKLCO8.X member to assemble and link-edit the link globals table you updated in the previous step.

   The ALNKLCO8.X member will assemble and catalog the link globals table for Com-plete and link it with the Com-plete link routine, LCOVSE8.OBJ and any required exits. The ALNKLCO8.X member provides link-edit control cards for the inclusion of the Adabas 8 LNKUES module with the ASC2EBC and EBC2ASC translation tables.

3. Place the final phase, ADALCO, in a library that will be part of the Com-plete LIBDEF search chain.

   Note:
   The defaults set in the link globals table for Com-plete are primarily for documentation purposes. The Adabas/Com-plete interface module, TLOPADAB, sets values for Adabas target ID and SVC number on each Adabas call. However, it is necessary to include the link globals table object module and any necessary exits, including user exits when linking the Adabas 8 ADALCO.PHASE. If user exits are to be linked with ADALCO, be certain to code the LGBLSET keywords accordingly.

   The Adabas 8 link routine is prepared.

Installing Adabas with Batch under Adabas 8

ADALNK is the standard Adalink for running Adabas in batch. ADALNKR (LNKVSER) is supplied as a reentrant batch link routine.

Batch applications should be linked with the ADAUSER module to provide the greatest degree of application calling isolation when invoking the Adabas batch link routines. The ADAUSER module will provide code to load the appropriate link routine and the supporting ADARUN and ADAIOR modules. ADARUN, in turn, loads other modules. To start a user program linked with ADAUSER, the following modules must be available in the LIBDEF search chain: ADAIOR, ADAIOS, ADALNK, ADAMLF, ADAOPD, ADAPRF, and ADARUN. In addition, ADAUSER reads DDCARD input from SYSIPT or DISK to allow jobstep setting of the database ID, Adabas SVC number, and other parameters.

For non-reentrant operation, the DDCARD input should provide the keyword PROG=USER. This causes ADARUN to load ADALNK for non-reentrant batch operations.

If you want to use reentrant batch operations, the ADAUSER module can still be linked with the application program, but the PROG=RENTUSER keyword must be coded on the DDCARD input. ADAUSER is, however, non-reentrant. For full reentrant batch applications, it will either need to be loaded (CDLOAD) separately, or the ADALNKR.PHASE must be loaded without using the ADAUSER module. In this case, the default values for DBID, SVC number, length of user information, and which exits are to be used is provided by the linked link globals table, as modified (read Installing the Reentrant Batch z/VSE Adabas 8 Link Routine. It is also possible to zap the ADALNKR.PHASE or LNKVSER8.OBJ module with these defaults, but Software AG recommends coding and linking the link globals table instead. Additional information on using a reentrant batch link routine is also provided in Required Application Reentrancy Properties.

This section covers the following topics:

• Supplied Modules

• Installing the Batch z/VSE Adabas 8 Link Routine

• Installing the Reentrant Batch z/VSE Adabas 8 Link Routine

Important:
If an ADALNK batch link routine has been modified to accommodate the needs of an Adabas product extension (such as Adabas Review), it should not be used for the Adabas nucleus or Adabas utility jobs.

Supplied Modules

The following table lists the modules supplied in your Adabas installation to support the installation of Adabas 8 with batch.

Note:
The Adabas 8 installation supports Adabas 7 direct calls in addition to Adabas 8 calls; however, an Adabas 7 installation does not support Adabas 8 direct calls.

Installing the Batch z/VSE Adabas 8 Link Routine

To install the Adabas 8 non-reentrant link routine for z/VSE batch, complete the following steps:

1. Edit member LNKGBLS.A in the Adabas distribution sublibrary. Provide values for the LOGID, SVC, GBLNAME, and other keywords to suit your installation requirements. This module contains LGBLSET parameters used to create default settings for link components. A complete description of LGBLSET parameters can be found in Modifying Source Member Defaults (LGBLSET Macro) in Version 8.

   Note:
   The OPSYS parameter must be set to "VSE".

2. Edit the ALNKLNK8.X member found in the Adabas 8 sublibrary. This member will assemble and catalog the LNKGBLS.A module and link it and any desired exits with the LNKVSE8.OBJ module to create the ADALNK.PHASE member for Adabas 8. The ALNKLNK8.X member includes sample link-edit control cards to support UES by including the LNKUES.OBJ. module with the ASC2EBC and EBC2ASC translation tables. Modify the link-edit control cards to include any additional Software AG exit or user exit, as specified in the updated LNKGBLS.A member.

3. Provide the ADALNK.PHASE member in the LIBDEF search chain for the jobstep that will require Adabas database access or Software AG services.

Installing the Reentrant Batch z/VSE Adabas 8 Link Routine

To install the Adabas 8 reentrant link routine for z/VSE batch, complete the following steps:

1. Edit member LNKRGBL.A in the Adabas distribution sublibrary. Provide values for the LOGID, SVC, GBLNAME, and other keywords to suit your installation requirements. This module contains LGBLSET parameters used to create default settings for link components. A complete description of LGBLSET parameters can be found in Modifying Source Member Defaults (LGBLSET Macro) in Version 8.

   Note:
   The OPSYS parameter must be set to "VSE".

2. Edit the ALNKLNR8.X member found in the Adabas 8 sublibrary. This member will assemble and catalog the LNKRGBL.A module and link it and any desired exits with the LNKVSER8.OBJ module to create the ADALNKR.PHASE member for Adabas 8. The ALNKLNR8.X member includes sample link-edit control cards to support UES by including the LNKUES.OBJ. module with the ASC2EBC and EBC2ASC translation tables. Modify the link-edit control cards to include any additional Software AG exit or user exit, as specified in the updated LNKRGBL.A member.

3. Provide the ADALNKR.PHASE member in the LIBDEF search chain for the jobstep that will require Adabas database access or Software AG services.

Establishing Adabas SVC Routing by Adabas Database ID

Your application programs that use Adabas link routines in z/OS and VSE environments can route database calls through specific Adabas SVCs, based on the database ID used in the call. SVC routing is managed through the use of a DBID/SVC routing table you supply. Up to 1000 database IDs may be specified in the table and associated with any number of valid SVC numbers installed in the z/OS or VSE system. The DBID/SVC routing table is created using the MDBSVC macro.

Duplicate database IDs are not allowed in the DBID/SVC routing table as there is no reliable way for the link routine to determine which SVC should be used for a database ID if it is listed more than once. If duplicate database IDs are found while the table is being assembled, they are flagged with an assembler MNOTE and a return code of 16 is returned for the assembly attempt.

Notes:

1. Adabas client-based add-ons, such as Adabas Transaction Manager, are not compatible with this feature since for client-based functionality to work, it must be channeled through only a single router for any given session, not across routers. To avoid problems if the dynamic SVC by DBID routing feature in enabled for these products, error messages are issued, the assembly step of the globals table will receive return code 16, and the globals table load module will not be generated.
2. ADALNK linked with the ADASVCTB should only be used by application programs and should not be made available to the Adabas nucleus or to Entire Net-Work.

Caution:
This feature should be used with caution. Transactional integrity is not guaranteed. If an application makes calls to multiple databases that are routed to more than one Adabas SVC, it becomes possible to issue ET, BT, OP, CL, RC, or other Adabas commands that may affect the transaction on one database, but not on the other databases running on different Adabas SVCs that were accessed previously. It therefore is the responsibility of the application program to ensure that all necessary logic is included to ensure transactional integrity across multiple databases where multiple Adabas SVCs are employed.

This section covers the following topics:

• Installing the Adabas DBID/SVC Routing Feature

• General Operation

• Using the MDBSVC Macro

Installing the Adabas DBID/SVC Routing Feature

The general steps for installing the Adabas DBID/SVC routing feature are:

1. Define the DBID/SVC routing table in a library member using MDBSVC macro statements. For more information about the DBID/SVC routing table and the MDBSVC macro, read Using the MDBSVC Macro.

2. Assemble and link-edit the DBID/SVC routing table member to create a load module or PHASE that will be made available to the operating environment where the SVC routing feature will be used.

3. Modify a link globals table for the operating environment, specifying the LGBLSET keywords DYNDBSVC=YES and DBSVCTN=name, where name is the name of the DBID/SVC routing table load module that should be used by the link routine. Assemble and link-edit the updated link globals table as required for the operating environment. For more information about the link globals table and the LGBLSET macro, read Modifying Source Member Defaults (LGBLSET Macro) in Version 8 . For information on assembling and link-editing the link globals table once the table is updated, refer to the instructions for each z/OS or VSE TP monitoring environment, provided elsewhere in this section.

4. Make the prepared DBID/SVC routing table available in a load library that is accessible by the application program's job step, so it can be loaded by the link routine when it runs.

5. Except for CICS systems, you will need to relink ADALNK or ADALNKR making sure that the INCLUDE statements for the LNKDSL and DEPRTR (or RTRVSE on VSE) modules are included in the job.

This section covers the following topics:

• Installing DBID/SVC Routing under z/OS Batch, TSO and IMS
• Installing DBID/SVC Routing under z/VSE Batch
• Installing DBID/SVC Routing under CICS

Installing DBID/SVC Routing under z/OS Batch, TSO and IMS

The installation steps for the Adabas SVC routing feature under z/OS batch, TSO, and IMS are the same.

To install the Adabas DBID/SVC routing feature under z/OS batch, TSO, or IMS, complete the following steps:

1. Define or modify the DBID/SVC routing table by coding a series of MDBCSVC macros in a library member. Sample member ADASVCTB is provided in the ADAvrs.SRCE library as a template for preparing this member. For more information about using the MDBSVC macro, read Using the MDBSVC Macro.

2. Assemble and link-edit the DBID/SVC routing table member to create the table as a load module that you can make available to the application execution job step. The load module should be linked non-reusable and non-reentrant because the link routine subprogram LNKDSL will need to store the addresses of the Adabas SVC IDT headers in the DBID/SVC module to reduce the operating overhead on multiple commands accessing the same Adabas SVC.

3. Define or modify a link globals table for the execution environment. The following LGBLSET keywords are required to support the Adabas SVC routing feature:

   LGBLSET Keyword Setting	Description
   DYNDBSVC=YES	This keyword and setting indicate that Adabas SVC routing is active for this job step.
   DBSVCTN=name	This keyword specifies the name of the DBID/SVC table for this job step. This name must match the name of the load module created to ensure the proper table is loaded when the link routine runs.

4. Assemble and link-edit the updated link globals table, as described for the appropriate TP monitor. For batch/TSO, read Installing Adabas with Batch/TSO under Adabas 8; for IMS, read Installing Adabas with IMS TM under Adabas 8 .

5. Relink ADALNK or ADALNKR, making sure that the INCLUDE statements for the LNKDSL and DEPRTR modules are included in the job. Samples of the jobs used to relink ADALNK and ADALNKR are listed in the following table:

   Link Routine	Sample Job
   	z/OS batch	TSO	IMS
   ADALNK	LNKLNK8	LNKLNK8	---
   ADALNKR	LNKLNKR8	LNKLNKR8	---
   ADALNI8	---	---	LNKLNI8

Installing DBID/SVC Routing under z/VSE Batch

To install the Adabas DBID/SVC routing feature under z/VSE batch, complete the following steps:

1. Define or modify the DBID/SVC routing table by coding a series of MDBCSVC macros in a library member. Sample member ADASVCTB.A is provided in the sublibrary SAGLIB.ADAvrs as a template for preparing this member. For more information about using the MDBSVC macro, read Using the MDBSVC Macro.

2. Assemble and link-edit the DBID/SVC routing table member to create the table as a PHASE that you can make available to the application execution job step. The PHASE should be linked non-reusable and non-reentrant because the link routine subprogram LNKDSL will need to store the addresses of the Adabas SVC IDT headers in the DBID/SVC module to reduce the operating overhead on multiple commands accessing the same Adabas SVC.

3. Define or modify a link globals table for the execution environment. The following LGBLSET keywords are required to support the Adabas SVC routing feature:

   LGBLSET Keyword Setting	Description
   DYNDBSVC=YES	This keyword and setting indicate that Adabas SVC routing is active for this job step.
   DBSVCTN=name	This keyword specifies the name of the DBID/SVC table for this job step. This name must match the name of the PHASE created to ensure the proper table is loaded when the link routine runs.

4. Assemble and link-edit the updated link globals table, as described for the appropriate TP monitor. For batch/TSO, read Installing Adabas with Batch under Adabas 8.

5. Relink ADALNK.PHASE or ADALNKR.PHASE, making sure that the INCLUDE statements for the LNKDSL and RTRVSE object modules are included in the job. Samples of the jobs used to relink ADALNK and ADALNKR are listed in the following table:

   Link Routine	Sample Job
   ADALNK.PHASE	ALNKLNK8.X
   ADALNKR.PHASE	ALNKLNR8.X

Installing DBID/SVC Routing under CICS

To install the Adabas DBID/SVC routing feature under CICS, complete the following steps:

1. Define or modify the DBID/SVC routing table by coding a series of MDBCSVC macros in a library member. Sample member ADASVCTB is provided in the ADAvrs.SRCE library as a template for preparing this member. For more information about using the MDBSVC macro, read Using the MDBSVC Macro.

2. Assemble and link-edit the DBID/SVC routing table member to create the table as a load module and place it in a library that will be part of the CICS DFHRPL concatenation. The load module should be linked non-reusable and non-reentrant because the link routine subprogram LNKDSL will need to store the addresses of the Adabas SVC IDT headers in the DBID/SVC module to reduce the operating overhead on multiple commands accessing the same Adabas SVC.

3. Define the load module as a program to CICS using RDO, or the DFHCSDUP utility. See member DEFADAC in the ACIvrs.SRCE libarary for sample DFHCSDUP definition statements. The program attributes should be Reload(No), Resident(Yes), Dataloc(Any), and Execkey(CICS).

4. Define or modify a link globals table for the execution environment. The following LGBLSET keywords are required to support the Adabas SVC routing feature:

   LGBLSET Keyword Setting	Description
   DYNDBSVC=YES	This keyword and setting indicate that Adabas SVC routing is active for this job step.
   DBSVCTN=name	This keyword specifies the name of the DBID/SVC table for this job step. This name must match the name of the load module created to ensure the proper table is loaded when the link routine runs.

5. Assemble and link-edit the updated link globals table, as described in Installing Adabas with CICS under Adabas 8 for z/OS installationsInstalling Adabas with CICS under Adabas 8 for z/VSE installations.

General Operation

When the Adabas SVC routing feature is installed, as described earlier in this section, it is loaded as described below:

• In batch, TSO, or IMS environments, the DBID/SVC routing table is loaded when the link routine initializes if the LGBLSET DYNDBSVC parameter is set to YES in the link globals table. The address of the routing table is kept in the link routine work area for use by all subsequent calls.

• In CICS environments, the Adabas 8 initialization module ADACIC0, normally run during PLTPI processing, loads and validates the DBID/SVC routing table, if the LGBLSET DYNDBSVC parameter was set to YES in the link globals table for the CICS region. The address of the routing table is kept in the global work area associated with the Adabas 8 task-related user exit (TRUE) module, ADACICT, and is made available on each application call to the TRUE by the Adabas command-level module ADACICS/ADADCI.

When an application call is made, the DBID/SVC routing table is searched by the LNKDSL subroutine which is linked with the appropriate link routine for each operating environment. LNKDSL is called after any LUEXIT1 (link routine user exit 1) is invoked, in case the pre-Adabas call user exit modifies the command's database ID for subsequent processing. The call to LNKDSL is made before any monitoring or Adabas Fastpath exits are called, so the monitoring product, such as Adabas Review, Adabas Fastpath, or Adabas Transaction Manager, will perform their processing based on the appropriate Adabas SVC found in the DBID/SVC routing table.

If the database ID associated with a particular call is not found in the DBID/SVC routing table, the default value for the Adabas SVC as specified by the MDBSVC macro's TYPE=INIT parameter is used. If the SVC located is not an Adabas SVC, or if it is not installed on the z/OS system, an Adabas response code of 213 with subcode 16 or 20 is returned to the application. If the calling database is not active for an SVC number, an Adabas response code of 148 (ADARSP148) is returned to the application.

Duplicate database IDs are not allowed in the DBID/SVC routing table as there is no reliable way for the link routine to determine which SVC should be used for a database ID if it is listed more than once. If duplicate database IDs are found while the table is being assembled, they are flagged with an assembler MNOTE and a return code of 16 is returned for the assembly attempt.

Using the MDBSVC Macro

Use the MDBSVC macro to define various aspects of the Adabas DBID/SVC routing table. Several MDBSVC macros are coded together using TYPE=INIT, TYPE=GEN, and TYPE=FINAL keywords to comprise a source module or member. This source module or member is then assembled and link-edited to build the DBID/SVC routing table load module. Sample member ADASVCTB in ADAvrs.SRCE can be used as a template for creating site-specific versions of the DBID/SVC routing table source module. Here is a sample DBID/SVC routing table source member that uses the CSECT name TESTDBT; when the table is assembled, its load module name will be TESTDBT:

TESTDBT CSECT
        MDBSVC TYPE=INIT,SVC=249,DBID=001
        MDBSVC TYPE=GEN,SVC=237,DBID=(2,10,21,33,175,1149),           X
               DBID2=(100,101,102,13500)
        MDBSVC TYPE=GEN,SVC=231,DBID=(226,899)
        MDBSVC TYPE=GEN,SVC=206,DBID=(15,16,69,99,500,12144)
        MDBSVC TYPE=GEN,SVC=248,DBID=(14,54,111,177,1213,5775)
        MDBSVC TYPE=GEN,SVC=249,DBID=(17,19,25,35,42,44,61,76)
        MDBSVC TYPE=FINAL
        END

When coding keyword values of MDBSVC macro statements, the assembler rules for continuing lines, identifying lists, and providing keyword values must be followed or assembly errors will result. Keywords and values with lists coded as objects of keywords must be separated by commas. There are no positional parameters used with the MDBSVC macro.

The MDBSVC macro can include the following four types of statements, as described in the following table:

The MDBSVC TYPE=INIT statement can be preceded by a named CSECT statement and named AMODE and RMODE statements. If the CSECT, AMODE, or RMODE statements are included, the name used in them must agree with the name for the DBID/SVC routing table, as coded in the TABNAME parameter on the MDBSVC TYPE=INIT statement and as specified in the DBSVCTN keyword of the LGBLSET macro used for creating the link globals table.

This section covers the following topics:

• MDBSVC TYPE=INIT Syntax
• MDBSVC TYPE=GEN Syntax
• MDBSVC TYPE=FINAL Syntax
• MDBSVC Parameters

MDBSVC TYPE=INIT Syntax

The syntax for the MDBSVC TYPE=INIT statement is:

MDBSVC TYPE=INIT [,SVC=svcno] [,DBID=dbid] [,TABNAME={name|ADBSVCT}] [,OPSYS={ZOS|VSE}]

The parameters you can code on the MDBSVC TYPE=INIT statement are described in MDBSVC Parameters.

MDBSVC TYPE=GEN Syntax

The syntax for the MDBSVC TYPE=GEN statement is:

MDBSVC TYPE=GEN [,SVC=svcno] [,DBID=id[, id]...][,DBID2=id[, id]...]

The parameters you can code on the MDBSVC TYPE=GEN statement are described in MDBSVC Parameters.

MDBSVC TYPE=FINAL Syntax

The syntax for the MDBSVC TYPE=FINAL statement is:

MDBSVC TYPE=FINAL

No parameters are valid on the MDBSVC TYPE=FINAL statement.

MDBSVC Parameters

The parameters that can be specified on various MDBSVC statements are as follows:

DBID

The DBID parameter can be coded on both the MDBSVC TYPE=INIT and MDBSVC TYPE=GEN statements.

• When specified on the MDBSVC TYPE=INIT statement, it lists the default database ID associated with the SVC specified in the SVC parameter. In this case, only one database ID can be listed in the DBID parameter on a TYPE=INIT statement.

• When specified on a MDBSVC TYPE=GEN statement, it lists the database IDs associated with the SVC specified in the SVC parameter. If more than one database ID is listed, they should be enclosed in parentheses and separated by commas.

Database IDs listed in the DBID parameter must be numeric and must correspond to the IDs of installed Adabas databases. In z/OS environments, database IDs must range from 1 to 65535. The same database ID cannot be specified on multiple MDBSVC statements; they must be unique across all of the DBID and DBID2 statements in the DBID/SVC routing table. Duplicate values are flagged with an MNOTE, which causes the assembly of the DBID/SVC routing table to stop with return code 16.

The following is an example of some DBID parameters on various MDBSVC statements. Note that two MDBSVC statements list database IDs associated with SVC 237. This allows more database IDs to be coded for the same SVC number. Compare the way this is coded to the way the same example is coded for the DBID2 parameter. Both codings produce the same end result.

MDBSVC TYPE=INIT,SVC=249,DBID=1
MDBSVC TYPE=GEN,SVC=237,DBID=(2,4,10,16,21,33)
MDBSVC TYPE=GEN,SVC=237,DBID=(175,1149,1221)
MDBSVC TYPE=GEN,SVC=242,DBID=(3,18)
MDBSVC TYPE=FINAL
END

DBID2

The DBID2 parameter can be coded only on MDBSVC TYPE=GEN statements. It lists additional database IDs to be associated with an Adabas SVC specified in the SVC parameter. The DBID2 parameter is optional, but when it is specified, it must follow a DBID parameter.

Database IDs listed in the DBID2 parameter must be numeric and must correspond to the IDs of installed Adabas databases. In z/OS environments, database IDs must range from 1 to 65535. The same database ID cannot be specified on multiple MDBSVC statements; they must be unique across all of the DBID and DBID2 statements in the DBID/SVC routing table. Duplicate values are flagged with an MNOTE, which causes the assembly of the DBID/SVC routing table to stop with return code 16.

The following is an example of some MDBSVC statements that includes a DBID2 parameter. Compare the way this example is coded to the way the same example is coded for the DBID parameter. Both codings produce the same end result.

MDBSVC TYPE=INIT,SVC=249,DBID=1
MDBSVC TYPE=GEN,SVC=237,DBID=(2,4,10,16,21,33),                        X 
       DBID2=(175,1149,1221)
MDBSVC TYPE=GEN,SVC=242,DBID=(3,18)
MDBSVC TYPE=FINAL
END

OPSYS

The OPSYS parameter is an optional parameter that can be coded only on the MDBSVC TYPE=INIT statement. This parameter identifies the operating system where the DBID/SVC routing table is assembled. Valid values for the OPSYS parameter are "ZOS" and "VSE"; the default is "ZOS".

PREFIX

The PREFIX parameter can only be coded only on the MDBSVC TYPE=DSECT statement, which is reserved for internal use by Software AG. Do not use this parameter.

SVC

The SVC parameter can be coded on both the MDBSVC TYPE=INIT and MDBSVC TYPE=GEN statements.

• When specified on the MDBSVC TYPE=INIT statement, it specifies the default Adabas SVC number to be used when the calling application provides a database ID that is not found in the DBID/SVC routing table.

• When specified on a MDBSVC TYPE=GEN statement, it specifies the Adabas SVC number to be associated with the Adabas databases identified by the DBID and DBID2 parameters.

The SVC number listed in the SVC parameter must be numeric and must correspond to the SVC number of an installed Adabas SVC. In z/OS environments, the SVC number must range from 200 to 255. Duplicate SVC values can be coded on multiple MDBSVC statements; this allows you to code long lists of database IDs and associate them with the same Adabas SVC.

In the following example, notice that there are two MDBSVC statements for SVC 249. It is the default SVC for the link routine and is also used for database 1, 3, and 18. There are also two MDBSVC statements for SVC 237; the two statements are used to list nine databases associated with SVC 237 (2, 4, 10, 16, 21, 33, 175, 1149, and 1221).

MDBSVC TYPE=INIT,SVC=249,DBID=1
MDBSVC TYPE=GEN,SVC=237,DBID=(2,4,10,16,21,33)
MDBSVC TYPE=GEN,SVC=237,DBID=(175,1149,1221)
MDBSVC TYPE=GEN,SVC=249,DBID=(3,18)
MDBSVC TYPE=FINAL

The TABNAME parameter is an optional parameter that can be coded only on the MDBSVC TYPE=INIT statement. This parameter specifies the name of the DBID/SVC routing table when the source member does not include a separate (and previously coded) CSECT statement. In this case, the name you specify on the TABNAME parameter is used to generate a named CSECT statement and named AMODE and RMODE directives.

The DBID/SVC routing table name that you specify should be between 1 and 8 alphanumeric characters long. In the following example, a DBID/SVC routing table with the name TESTDBT is coded.

MDBSVC TYPE=INIT,SVC=249,DBID=1,TABNAME=TESTDBT
MDBSVC TYPE=GEN,SVC=237,DBID=(2,4,10,16,21,33)
MDBSVC TYPE=GEN,SVC=237,DBID=(175,1149,1221)
MDBSVC TYPE=GEN,SVC=249,DBID=(3,18)
MDBSVC TYPE=FINAL

Modifying Source Member Defaults (LGBLSET Macro) in Version 8

The Adabas 8 LGBLSET macro is used to set default installation values for the Adabas link routines. It is used to prepare an object module which may either be link-edited with the Adabas 8 link routines or provided to the link routines in the job step where they are run. Your Adabas libraries include sample members provided to support the various teleprocessing (TP) monitors in each environment. Each of these sample members may be copied to an appropriate library and modified to provide the necessary customization required for the link routine that is intended to run in a given environment.

The LGBLSET parameter options with their default values (underlined) are described in the rest of this section:

XWAIT: XWAIT Setting for CICS

XWAIT={NO|YES}

Notes:

1. If XWAIT=NO is specified, the ADACICT (Adabas 8 TRUE) module issues an EXEC CICS WAITCICS command instead of the EXEC CICS WAIT EVENT command. XWAIT=YES conforms with recommended IBM usage of the WAIT and ECB lists in a high-transaction volume CICS system with CICS/TS Version 1.1 and above.
2. All EXEC CICS commands are processed by the CICS preprocessor; the LGBLSET parameters cause the subsequent assembly step to skip some of the statements.

XWAIT Posting Mechanisms

CICS WAITCICS (XWAIT=NO) can support a soft post of the specified ECB. This has the disadvantage of becoming a low priority dispatchable unit of work in a CICS environment, since the hand-postable work is not processed by CICS on every work cycle.

EXEC CICS WAIT EXTERNAL (XWAIT=YES), on the other hand, allows CICS to make use of its special post exit code, and will always be checked and processed (if posted) on every CICS work cycle.

For more details on the differences between the various CICS WAIT commands and their relationship to hard and soft posting mechanisms, consult the IBM CICS Application Programming Reference and the texts accompanying IBM APAR PN39579 or “Item RTA000043874” on the IBM InfoLink service.

XWAIT and the Adabas SVC / Router

The Adabas SVC is fully compatible with the XWAIT=YES setting. The SVC performs the necessary hard post for Adabas callers under CICS using the Adabas command-level link routine. The same SVC performs a soft post for batch callers where the hard post is not required.
