Activating ADATCP

To activate ADATCP in an Adabas session:

  1. To run ADATCP, the database must be UES enabled. See Enabling Universal Encoding Support (UES) for Your Adabas Nucleus in the Adabas documentation for more information on how to enable UES in a database. Additionally, the ADALNK used by ADATCP must also be UES enabled. The delivered ADALNK is UES enabled and is sufficient in most environments. However, if changes to the translate tables in ADALNK are required, see Enabling Direct TCP/IP Access (ADATCP) to Your Adabas Nucleus in the Adabas documentation for more information.

  2. Provide a Net-Work license file. It is recommended that the Entire Net-Work license file be assembled into a load module, available to the Adabas startup job. To assemble the Entire Net-Work license file, sample job ASMLICAM in ADAvrs.MVSJOBS can be used.

    Note:
    The load module name must be NETLIC. For more information, refer to Software AG Mainframe Product Licensing.

  3. Include Net-Work load libraries.

    Add WCPvrs.MVSLOAD and WTCvrs.MVSLOAD to the STEPLIB of the Adabas startup job.

  4. Provide ADI parameters.

    If necessary, add a TCPIN DD statement with the parameters that specify the location of the ADI.

    Example:

    //TCPIN DD *
    ADI=Y
    ADIHOST=AHOST
    ADIPORT=4952
    /*
  5. Add ADARUN parameters.

    Set TCPIP=YES. See the description of the TCPIP parameter in the Adabas Operations documentation for more information.

    Set TCPURL. See the description of the TCPURL parameter for more information.
