This document describes using version 8.2 SP2 of the Adabas COR-based Add-on products with Adabas 8.4 SP1 and later. It covers the following topics:
You can use the following Adabas COR-based Add-on products in conjunction with Adabas 8.4 SP1 or later:
Adabas System Coordinator(COR) 8.2 SP2
Adabas SAF Security (AAF) 8.2 SP2
Adabas Fastpath (AFP) 8.2 SP2
Adabas Transaction Manage (ATM) 8.2 SP2
Adabas Vista (AVI) 8.2 SP2
Note:
These 8.2 SP2 products do not support any new Adabas 8.4
features.
All COR-based products in use by a client job must be of the same version, release and maintenance level.
To implement support for Adabas 8.4 SP1 with version 8.2 SP2 of the Adabas COR-based Add-on products, complete the following steps:
Ensure all available maintenance is applied to the Adabas COR-based Add-on products.
Note:
We always recommend that the latest maintenance for each
Add-on product is applied
For reference, the specific maintenance for supporting Adabas 8.4 SP1 is as follows:
Add-on Product | Fix number |
---|---|
Adabas System Coordinator | MI822179 |
Adabas Fastpath | AW822048 |
Adabas SAF Security | AX822008 |
Adabas Transaction Manager | AT822030 |
Adabas Vista | AV822055 |
Make sure the libraries for the relevant Adabas COR-based Add-on products are available to Adabas.
If you have applied maintenance that modifies the Adabas System Coordinator stubs (CORSnn) then relink your LNKGBLS modules to include the modified stubs. You will also need to relink any Adabas link modules that include a LNKGBLS module.
If, after loading the Adabas 8.4 SP1 (or later) INPL library, there is a requirement to (re)load the Adabas COR-based Add-on INPLs, then these INPL jobs should specify the Check Date option. This option loads the libraries in a date-sensitive manner by checking the dates of your existing INPL library and not allowing older members to replace members of the same name with newer dates. The use of the INPL Check Date option is determined by the following CMSYNIN command input (assuming the Natural input parameters in the job are specified in comma-delimited mode, or IM=D):
B,,,,,,,Y
For reference, a sample INPL job CORI061 can be found in the JOBS library of the Adabas System Coordinator.
Fixes may be produced after the final freeze of the Adabas release. Depending upon timing some or all of these fixes may be supplied with the installation kit in an "all zaps" dataset (*Z000). These fixes, and any others that also appear in Empower, should be applied during the Adabas installation process. The following fixes are currently known to be required when using the Adabas COR-based Add-on products:
