# Migrating from System Management Hub (SMH) to Adabas Manager (AMN)

Adabas Manager Version 8.5 and above can be used to administer the Entire Net-Work suite of products (Entire Net-work Server, Entire Net-work Client and Directory Server). As there will be no further development or fixes for System Management Hub, it is highly recommended to upgrade to Adabas Manager as a replacement.

The following document will provide you with the information that you need in order to migrate the administration of the Entire Net-Work suite of products from System Management Hub to Adabas Manager.

## Preparing for Migration

Adabas Manager is the user interface component that connects to the Adabas Management Communicator (AMC) Server, which in turn connects to the Software AG Directory Server (ADI). From ADI, you can administer components registered to the ADI that you connect to.

You will need two pieces of information before you can start the migration:

- The host name/IP address and port number of the AMC;

- The host name/IP address and port number of the ADI.

The details for AMC are available during the installation. The default port number is 4980, but this can be changed during the installation.

The details for ADI are also available during its installation. The default port number is 4952, but this can be changed during the installation. However, if you are migrating from SMH, you will probably already have an ADI installed, the following steps explain how you can obtain the required information.

To obtain the host name/IP address and port number of the Adabas Directory Server

1. Login to your SMH. Expand the Directory Server menu until you see the list of available Directory Servers.

2. Right click on the Directory Server that you want to check, and select Modify Directory Server Settings. Take note of the contents of the fields Directory Server Host Name and Port - you will need this information when you set up your AMC server in Adabas Manager. If the value in the field Directory Server Host Name is a valid host name or IP address, you can use it as it is. Otherwise procede to the next step.

3. If the field Directory Server Host Name contains the value localhost, it means that ADI is installed on the same machine as SMH. You can find the name of the localhost by entering the command `hostname` at the command prompt. Alternatively, you can find the IP address by entering the command `ipconfig` at the command prompt.

## Performing the Migration

To migrate the administration of Entire Net-Work products to Adabas Manager

1. Enter your login information (local or domain user ID and password) on the Adabas Manager login page and click the Log In button. The Adabas Manager home page is displayed.

2. Click on the icon Administer Entire Net-Work on the Adabas Manager home page.

   The Entire Net-Work Administration start page is displayed.

3. Click on the configuration icon on the top right of the page. The Add AMC Host page is displayed.

4. Specify the details of the AMC server that you want to use, then click on the button Add AMC Host. Either the host name or the IP address of the AMC server can be entered in the field Hostname/IP.

5. Click on the arrow button next to the name of the AMC server that you have just added. Now specify the details of the Directory Server that you want to use (see the section Preparing for Migration for information about how to obtain these details).

6. Click on the link Net-Work Connection in the header of the page to expand the list of available AMC servers, then click on the name of the AMC server that you have just added. The tree view network is displayed; you can now start with the administration of your Entire Net-Work product suite.

   Note
   By default, Adabas Manager uses the tree view to display the components in the form of a network tree. If preferred, you can switch to the list view, which resembles SMH.
