Applying Zaps

Important:
Be sure that you apply all supplied Adabas maintenance and concatenate Adabas patch-level libraries (L00n), as they are delivered to you. This will ensure that your Adabas code remains up-to-date, supporting all Adabas features as they are enhanced and maintained. The latest zaps for this product are available in the Knowledge Center in Software AG's Empower (https://empower.softwareag.com) web site.

In general, zaps for Adabas components (such as Adabas nuclei, the Adabas router, Adabas utilities) can be applied and made active one component at a time.

  • Adabas utility zaps should be applied to the load library. The utility can then be run or rerun to make use of the zap.

  • Adabas nucleus zaps should first be applied to the load library. Then the nucleus should be stopped and restarted to activate the zap.

  • Adabas router (on z/OS, ADASVC) zaps should first be applied to the load library. Then all Adabas nuclei and other MPM servers running on the router should be stopped and the router should be reinstalled to activate the zap. Finally, the Adabas nuclei and MPM servers should be restarted.

Finally, the distributed source library contains member ZAPOPT, which lists some optional zaps that you may choose to apply for the activation or deactivation of various features and optional user settings of Adabas. A ZAPOPT member will be included with each SM level distribution.
