Installing Adabas Manager

This installation documentation provides just a brief description on how to install Adabas Manager directly on the target machine using the Software AG Installer GUI. For detailed information on the Software AG Installer, see Using the Software AG Installer.

Important:
Make sure all ports you specify on panels or in response to prompts are not already being used by other products on your machine. For a list of default ports used by Software AG products, see "List of Used TCP/IP Ports" in Empower (go to Products & Documentation > Download Components > TCP/IP Ports).
