Before you begin the Entire Net-Work Client installation, ensure that the following prerequisites have been met:
Close (stop) 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.
Disable any antivirus software.
Ensure the target computer is connected to the network.
Read the Enhancements, Configuration Considerations, and Concepts.
If you are upgrading from an Entire Net-Work Version 2 (or earlier) installation, please read the Entire Net-Work 7 Planning Guide for a complete description of the architectural changes that have occurred in Entire Net-Work 7, migration considerations, and answers to frequently asked questions.
The Entire Net-Work Administration Open Systems installation must be run on the same machine on which the System Management Hub (SMH) is installed to be sure that the Entire Net-Work Client SMH agents required to maintain Entire Net-Work Clients are also installed. If SMH has not yet been installed at your site, running the Entire Net-Work Administration Open Systems installation will install it as well.
For more information, read Entire Net-Work Administration Open Systems Installation.
Determine whether or not the Software AG Directory Server needs to be installed as part of this Entire Net-Work Client installation. 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 by other Software AG products, you do not need to install it again -- although multiple installations of the Directory Server are allowed (for more details, read Software AG Directory Server Installation).
