Implementation Steps

Start of instruction setTo implement support for Adabas 8.3 SP1 and later with the Adabas 8.2 COR-based add-on products, complete the following steps:

  1. Ensure all necessary maintenance is applied to Adabas 8.3.

  2. Ensure all necessary maintenance is applied to the COR-based add-ons. We always recommend that the latest maintenance for each product is applied. To take advantage of the recent developments you should definitely apply the following:

    • For Adabas SAF Security 8.2 SP2: AX822003;

    • For Adabas Fastpath 8.2 SP2: AW822027;

    • For Adabas Transaction Manager 8.2 SP2: AT822010;

    • For Adabas Vista 8.2 SP2: AVI822P001 AVI Patch level 1;

    • For Adabas System Coordinator 8.2 SP2: COR822P002 COR Patch level 2, MI822107

      Please read the COR Patch level 2 Readme carefully, applying all co-reqs and performing all necessary actions.

  3. Concatenate COR822.LX02 (or above) in the Adabas 8.3 nucleus job as the first library so its alternative modules are used by Adabas 8.3.

    Notes for users of Adabas SAF Security

    Notes:

    1. COR822.LX02 (or above) must also be the first library in the STEPLIB chain for any Adabas utility jobs.
    2. Adabas SAF Security uses the common SAF components supplied on the Adabas Limited Library; widely known as the WAL libraries. Adabas SAF Security Version 8.2 2 requires WAL 8.2.5 or above. Refer to the Adabas SAF Security installation documentation for more information on the usage of WAL.

  4. Make sure the libraries for the relevant 8.2 SP2 COR-based add-on products that you use (AAF, AFP, ATM, AVI, COR) are also available to Adabas too.

  5. Relink your LNKGBLS modules to include the zapped COR stubs. You will also need to relink any Adabas link modules that include a LNKGBLS module.
