Using 8.2 COR-based Add-ons

This document describes using the Adabas COR-based Add-on products with Adabas for zIIP 8.3 SP5. It covers the following topics:


Introduction

You can use the following Adabas COR-based Add-on products in conjunction with Adabas for zIIP 8.3 SP5:

  • Adabas System Coordinator (COR) 8.2 SP2 Patch Level 3 and above

  • Adabas SAF Security (AAF) 8.2 SP2

  • Adabas Fastpath (AFP) 8.2 SP2

  • Adabas Transaction Manager (ATM) 8.2 SP2

  • Adabas Vista (AVI) 8.2 SP2

Implementation

Start of instruction setTo implement support for Adabas for zIIP 8.3 SP5 with the Adabas COR-based Add-on products, complete the following steps:

  1. Ensure all available maintenance is applied to the Adabas COR-based Add-on products.

    Note:
    Adabas System Coordinator version 8.2 SP2 Patch level 3 (COR822P003) - or later - is a prerequisite for Adabas for zIIP 8.3 SP5. If applicable, please read the COR Patch level 3 Readme carefully, applying all co-requisites and performing all necessary actions.

    In addition, the specific maintenance for supporting Adabas for zIIP 8.3 SP5 is as follows:

    Add-on Product Version Fix number
    Adabas System Coordinator 8.3 SP1 None required
    8.2 SP2 Patch Level 3 MI822189, MI822190, MI822191, MI822193
    Adabas Fastpath   None required
    Adabas SAF Security   AX822010, AX822011, AX822012, AX822013, AX822014, AX822015
    Adabas Transaction Manager   None required
    Adabas Vista   None required
  2. Replace any existing COR822.LXnn special purpose library with COR822.LX04 (COR822X004) or above, and ensure it is concatenated above the Adabas for zIIP library in all Adabas nuclei.

  3. Make sure the libraries for the relevant Adabas COR-based Add-on products are available to Adabas.

  4. 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.

  5. If, after loading the Adabas 8.3 SP5 INPL library, there is a requirement to (re)load the Adabas COR-based Add-on INPLs, (for example to apply an INPL update) 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.

Required Adabas Maintenance

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:
