Installation: Phase 2

REVEXITB for BS2000 is supplied in the module RDBLXBS2 for TIAM, batch, and UTM applications. This module should be linked to ADALNK, as described in the steps in this document. A sample job is provided in REVvrs.SRC(P.ADALNK).


Step 1. Install REVEXITB for the Adabas Link Routines

Important:
If an ADALNK batch link routine has been linked or modified by Software AG product modules or user exits, it cannot be used in any application startups of Adabas utility jobs or Adabas, Entire System Server, Adabas Review Hub, or Entire Net-Work nuclei.

Start of instruction setIf you use ADAUSER to load ADALNK, generate a file with the following structure:

  • ADALNK IDTNAME=database_IDT

    where database_IDT is the IDT name where the database being monitored by Adabas Review is registered.

    Also, place the following statement in your job:

    /SET-FILE-LINK DDLNKPAR,adalnk_file_name

Start of instruction setIf you use ADARUN to load ADALNK, add the following fields to the DDCARD file:

  • ADARUN   PROG=USER,.....IDTNAME=database_IDT

    where database_IDT is the IDT name where the database being monitored by Adabas Review is registered.

Step 2. Set the Adabas Entry Name, if Necessary

If you have not already set the Adabas entry name, do so now.

In the NATFRONT(batch),NRTFRONT(TIAM) or NUTFRONT(UTM) source modules, set:

ADACOM=ADABAS

Then reassemble the appropriate source module.

Step 3. Ensure Access to Link Data in the NATPARM Module

In order for Adabas Review to retrieve link and target data, make sure that the NATPARM module contains:

CSTATIC=(...,ADATMZ,...)

Step 4. Link the Natural Front-End, if Necessary

(JOB I060) for batch; (JOB I080) for TIAM and UTM.

Step 5. Modify the Natural Startup Procedure, if Applicable

Modify your existing Natural startup procedure by including the following /SET-FILE-LINK statement pointing to the Adabas library where your ADALNK module is located:

/SET-FILE-LINK BLSLIBnn,Adabas.MOD

Note:
If you are not using a procedure, the above /SET-FILE-LINK statement must be supplied before calling Natural online.
