- Introduction

- Implementation

- Required Adabas Maintenance

## Introduction

You can use the following Adabas COR-based Add-on products in conjunction with Adabas 8.5:

- Adabas System Coordinator (COR) 8.2 SP2 Patch Level 3 and above

- Adabas SAF Security (AAF) 8.2 SP2 Patch Level 2 and above

- Adabas Fastpath (AFP) 8.2 SP2

- Adabas Transaction Manager (ATM) 8.2 SP2

- Adabas Vista (AVI) 8.2 SP2

## Implementation

Review the following information with regard to the implementation of the COR-based Add-on products with Adabas 8.5.

1. We always recommend that the latest available maintenance is applied to each of the COR-based Add-on products in use at your site.

   The table below defines the minimum required maintenance.

   Add-on Product | Version | Minimum maintenance for the support of Adabas 8.5
   --- | --- | ---
   Adabas System Coordinator | 8.3 SP1 | MI831009
   8.2 SP2 Patch Level 3 | MI822189, MI822190, MI822191, MI822193, MI822204
   Adabas Fastpath | 8.2 SP2 | AW822048
   Adabas SAF Security | 8.3 SP1 | None required
   8.2 SP2 Patch Level 2 | None required
   Adabas Transaction Manager | 8.2 SP2 | AT822030
   Adabas Vista | 8.2 SP2 | AV822055

2. Make sure the libraries for the relevant Adabas COR-based Add-on products are available to Adabas. Refer to the appropriate Add-on product installation documentation for the required library information.

   Note
   It is no longer necessary for a CORvrs.LXnn special purpose library to be concatenated above the Adabas library for Adabas nuclei.

3. If you have applied maintenance that modifies the Adabas System Coordinator stubs (CORSnn) then relink your LNKGBLS modules to include the modified stubs. You will also need to relink any Adabas link modules that include a LNKGBLS module.

4. If, after loading the Adabas 8.5 INPL library, there is a requirement to (re)load the Adabas COR-based Add-on INPLs, (for example to apply an INPL update) then these INPL jobs should specify the Check Date option. This option loads the libraries in a date-sensitive manner by checking the dates of your existing INPL library and not allowing older members to replace members of the same name with newer dates. The use of the INPL Check Date option is determined by the following CMSYNIN command input (assuming the Natural input parameters in the job are specified in comma-delimited mode, or IM=D):

       B,,,,,,,Y

   For reference, a sample INPL job CORI061 can be found in the JOBS library of the Adabas System Coordinator.

## Required Adabas Maintenance

Fixes may be produced after the final freeze of the Adabas release. Depending upon timing some or all of these fixes may be supplied with the installation kit in an "all zaps" dataset (*Z000). These fixes, and any others that also appear in Empower, should be applied during the Adabas installation process. The following fixes are currently known to be required when using the Adabas COR-based Add-on products:

Adabas Version | Minimum maintenance for the support of Adabas COR-based Add-on products:
--- | ---
8.5 SP3 | None
8.5 SP2 | AN852023
8.5 SP1 | None
