Entire Net-Work Client Installation Steps

The Entire Net-Work Client installation includes only the components required to run Software AG client applications (Natural and Tamino, for example) that access Adabas databases.

Notes:

  1. We recommend that you use only one Directory Server for all Software AG products that require it.
  2. Do not install both Entire Net-Work Client and Entire Net-Work 7.2 Client on the same machine.
  3. Ideally, the installation of Entire Net-Work Client should be performed by a system administrator or someone with administrator privileges.
  4. The steps provided in this document will install only an Entire Net-Work Client on the machine. Be aware that the sequence of steps will vary if you are installing one of the Entire Net-Work management components (SMH or the Software AG Directory Server) as well.

Note:
The Adabas client package (ACL) is a subproduct that is also installed with Entire Net-Work. ACL has its own versioning.

Installing Entire Net-Work Client on Windows Platforms

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.

Start of instruction setTo 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.

  1. 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:
    Installation of Entire Net-Work Administration Open Systems components requires superuser privileges.

    For more information, read Entire Net-Work Administration Open Systems Installation.

  2. 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.

  3. Follow the prompts on the installation panels. The following panels should be noted:

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.
