Adding Support for Multiple Adabas Versions

This version of Adabas RESTful server supports administration of multiple Adabas versions. Currently, Adabas Version 7.2 with internal structure level 24 and Adabas Version 7.1 with internal structure level 23 are supported. To support additional Adabas versions, the relevant Adabas version installations need to be registered in the configuration of the RESTful server.

In order to register the Adabas version installation in config.xml, the service.sh script (or service.bat respectively) has an additional feature. With the following command, you may add the current Adabas installation if you are in an Adabas command prompt shell: 

service.bat add_env

To register an Adabas version installation outside of the current environment, you can add the corresponding directory: 

service.bat add_env <Adabas version installation directory>

Enable different Adabas versions of databases shown in Adabas Manager

Option 1:

  1. Install the Adabas RESTful server together with each different Adabas version installation with different port numbers.

  2. Set up the Adabas Manager with two different port numbers in "Host Config".

Option 2:

  1. Only need to install one Adabas RESTful server to handle different Adabas versions.

  2. Set up each of the Adabas installed ADADATADIR to a common directory.

    ./change_adadatadir.sh <New ADADATADIR>

  3. Set up the Adabas RESTful server configuration.

    ./service.sh data_dir <New ADADATADIR>

  4. Restart the Adabas RESTful server.
