Review the following information with regard to the implementation of the COR-based Add-on products with Adabas for zIIP 8.4 SP3.
We always recommend that the latest maintenance is applied to each of the COR-based Add-on products in use at your site.
For reference, the specific maintenance for supporting Adabas for zIIP 8.4 SP3 is as follows:
| Add-on Product | Version | Fix number |
|---|---|---|
| Adabas System Coordinator | 8.3 SP1 | n/a |
| 8.2 SP2 Patch Level 3 | MI822189, MI822190, MI822191, MI822193 | |

Make sure the libraries for the relevant Adabas COR-based Add-on products are available to Adabas.
Note:
Starting from Adabas 8.4 SP1, it is no longer necessary for a
CORvrs.LXnn special
purpose library to be concatenated above the Adabas library for Adabas
nuclei.
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 for zIIP 8.4 SP3 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.
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 Adabas fixes are currently known to be required when using the Adabas COR-based Add-on products:
