When you define a Kernel, a configuration file containing all of its access and connection definitions as well as all of its parameters is created. By default, Kernel configuration files are stored in one of the following locations:

• In Windows 7 environments: ProgramData\Software AG\Entire Net-Work Server\

• In Linux environments: $SAG\wcp\.

Kernel configuration files have names in the format name.KERNEL, where name is the name you assign the Kernel definition when you add it.

To add a Kernel definition to an Entire Net-Work Server:

Make sure you have accessed the System Management Hub.

1. Select the name of the managed host on which Entire Net-Work Server is installed.

2. Expand the tree-view frame for the managed host by clicking on the plus sign (+) to the left of its name.

3. Select "Entire Net-Work Server" in the tree-view under the managed host.

   The Entire Net-Work Server administration area of the System Management Hub becomes available to you.

4. Expand Servers in tree-view, by clicking on the plus sign (+) to the left of its label.

   The list of installed servers appears.

5. In tree-view, right-click on the name of the server on which you want to add a Kernel and select Add Kernel command from the resulting drop-down menu.

   The Add Net-Work Kernel panel appears in detail-view.

   

6. Fill in the fields on this panel, as described in the following table:

   Field	Description	Required?
   Enter the Net-Work Kernel Name	The name of this Kernel definition. The Kernel name will be used as the node name for the Kernel in Entire Net-Work processing. Remember that node names for Entire Net-Work Version 7 Kernels are case-sensitive and must be one to eight characters long. In addition, Kernel node names should be unique, especially if they use the same Adabas Directory Server.	Yes
   E-Business Access parameters	Select e-business access if you want this Kernel definition to include an e-business access specification for another Kernel or for a mainframe Entire Net-Work node.
