INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

  • Verify that Predict Version 3.4 or later is installed.

  • Verify that the files and fields that are to be used by Adabas Native SQL applications are documented in the data dictionary. Adabas Native SQL recognizes only the PREDICT file types Adabas file and Adabas userview. Other file types are ignored by the Adabas Native SQL preprocessor.

  • Load the libraries from medium to disk.

  • Verify that the error messages have been loaded (ERRLODUS).

  • If an Adabas interface module other that ADAUSER is to be used, relink Adabas Native SQL.

  • Edit the procedures ADAGO, COBOLGO, FORTGO, PLIGO and GO as required.

  • Ensure that the standard test files EMPLOYEES and VEHICLES are available and that they are correctly documented in the data dictionary. In particular, ensure that the file numbers and the database ID are correct. Ensure that the relationships for soft coupling are defined in the data dictionary. If you wish to use FORTRAN, ensure that appropriate language synonyms are defined in the data dictionary (see Appendix B in the Adabas Native SQL Reference Manual).

  • Run the procedures ADAGO, COBOLGO, FORTGO, PLIGO and GO to execute the test programs. Verify the output.
