About the Adabas Review Installation Tape

This section describes the contents of the Adabas Review installation tape and the space requirements for each data set. Sample JCS to accomplish the transfer is also included.

Refer to the Software AG Product Delivery Report for the volume serial number, density, media type, data set names, and data set sequence numbers for the SP level being installed.

Copying the Tape Contents

Copy the data sets from the supplied installation medium to your disk before you perform the individual installation procedure for each component to be installed.

The way you copy the data sets depends on the installation method and the medium used:

  • If you use System Maintenance Aid (SMA), refer to the copy job instructions provided in the System Maintenance Aid documentation.

  • If you are not using SMA and want to copy the data sets from CD-ROM, refer to the README.TXT file on the CD-ROM.

  • If you are not using SMA and want to copy the data sets from tape, follow the instructions in this section.

This section explains how to copy the data sets .LIBJ, .LIBR and .LICS from tape to disk. All other data sets can be installed directly from the tape.

Step 1: Copy Data Set COPYTAPE.JOB to Disk

  • Modify the following sample job according to your requirements:

    * $$ JOB JNM=LIBRCAT,CLASS=0,                                          +
    * $$ DISP=D,LDEST=(*,UID),SYSID=1                                      
    * $$ LST CLASS=A,DISP=D                                                
    // JOB LIBRCAT                                                         
    * *****************************************                            
    *     STORE COPYTAPE.JOB IN LIBRARY                                    
    * *****************************************
    // ASSGN SYS004,nnn 
    // MTC REW,SYS004                                                        
    // MTC FSF,SYS004,4                                                      
    ASSGN SYSIPT,SYS004                                                      
    // TLBL IJSYSIN,'COPYTAPE.JOB'                                           
    // EXEC LIBR,PARM='MSHP; ACC S=lib.sublib'
    /*
    // MTC REW,SYS004
    ASSGN SYSIPT,FEC                                                         
    /*                                                                       
    /&                                                                     
    * $$ EOJ

    where:

    nnn is the tape address, and
    lib.sublib is the library and sublibrary in which the data set COPYTAPE.JOB is to be stored.

  • Execute the job to copy the data set COPYTAPE.JOB to disk.

    COPYTAPE.JOB contains the JCL required to copy the data sets .LIBJ, .LIBR and .LICS from tape to disk.

Step 2: Modify COPYTAPE.JOB on Your Disk

  • Modify COPYTAPE.JOB according to your requirements and set the disk space parameters as appropriate.

Step 3: Submit COPYTAPE.JOB

  • Execute COPYTAPE.JOB to copy the data sets .LIBJ, .LIBR and .LICS to your disk.

Installation Overview

Adabas Review is installed in two phases:

  1. Install non-TP-specific components. All steps in this phase are identical regardless of the TP monitor in use:

    • Install Adabas Review under Natural;

    • Install the Adabas Review repository;

    • Install Adabas Review under Adabas;

    • Install the Adabas Review hub (hub mode only);

    • Optional installation procedures.

  2. Install TP-specific components. Separate procedures are used to install Adabas Review under each of the supported TP monitors: Com-plete and CICS.

Phase one procedures are described in section Installation (Phase 1); phase two procedures in section Installation (Phase 2).
