# Installation Prerequisites

This section describes the prerequisites for Adabas System Coordinator Version 8.6.

- Operating Systems

- Adabas

- Adabas Nucleus Memory Requirements

- Natural

- Com-plete

- Adabas System Coordinator-based Add-on products

- Multi-Task Server Environments using CORS09

## Operating Systems

Adabas System Coordinator is compatible with the z/OS operating system environment only.

Note
For information regarding product compatibility with IBM platforms and any IBM requirements for Software GmbH products, please review the Product Compatibility for IBM Platforms web page.

Note
Adabas System Coordinator currently executes in 31-bit addressing mode only.

## Adabas

Adabas System Coordinator can be used with:

- Any supported level of Adabas, or

- Any supported level of Adabas Cluster Services, or

- Any supported level of Adabas Parallel Services.

## Adabas Nucleus Memory Requirements

The use of any Adabas System Coordinator Add-on products will require memory in the affected Adabas nucleus jobs.

The minimum memory requirements can be approximated by first considering the Add-on product mix using the table below:

| COR | AAF | AFP | ATM | AVI
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Memory requirement | +1 MB | +0.25 MB | +1 MB | +1 MB | +1 MB

In addition to this a further 15k is required for each defined Adabas thread (ADARUN NT=).

#### Example

The approximate memory requirement for an Adabas nucleus with ADARUN NT=85 running Adabas Fastpath is calculated as follows:

    1 MB (for COR) + 1 MB (for AFP) + (15k * 85) = 3.25 MB

Memory requirements will be greater if any of the AFPLOOK and AVILOOK database reporting tools are activated.

#### For AFPLOOK:

If activated using the following defaults:

- Maximum Files = 64

- Command/Descriptors per File = 32

- Maximum Concurrent Users = 100

- Maximum CIDs per User = 10

Then the additional nucleus memory required is approximately 100k.

If the Command/Descriptors per File and Maximum CIDs per User are kept at 32 and 10 respectively:

- Each additional file above 64 files will require 1k

- Each additional user above 100 users will require 288 bytes

#### For AVILOOK:

If activated AVILOOK will require an additional 200k of nucleus memory.

## Natural

Natural is required by the Online Services application SYSCOR.

Any supported level of Natural can be used. Refer to the Natural documentation for more information.

If the Adabas System Coordinator client component CORS09 is in use at your site then refer to Multi-Task Server Environments using CORS09 for additional prerequisite information.

## Com-plete

Any supported level of Com-plete can be used. Refer to the Com-plete documentation for more information.

## Adabas System Coordinator-based Add-on products

You can use any supported version of the following Adabas System Coordinator-based Add-on products in conjunction with Adabas System Coordinator version 8.6:

- Adabas SAF Security (AAF)

- Adabas Fastpath (AFP)

- Adabas Transaction Manager (ATM)

- Adabas Vista (AVI)

The following table describes the Add-on product maintenance required for supporting Adabas System Coordinator version 8.6:

Add-on Product | Version | Fix number
--- | --- | ---
Adabas Fastpath | 8.2 SP2 8.6 SP1 | AFP822I005, AW822056, AW822057 None required
Adabas SAF Security | 8.4 SP1 | None required
Adabas Transaction Manager | 8.2 SP2 | ATM822I003, AT822035
Adabas Vista | 8.2 SP2 8.6 SP1 | AVI822I006 None required

Note
For information regarding the necessary Adabas System Coordinator-based Add-on maintenance required for the version of Adabas you are running, refer to the section Using COR-based Add-ons in the release notes for the appropriate Adabas version.

## Multi-Task Server Environments using CORS09

The Adabas System Coordinator client component CORS09 was made widely available in Version 8.2.2, Patch level 3, as a replacement for CORS07 for customers running Natural for zIIP in multi-task server environments.

For Adabas System Coordinator 8.3 SP1 and above, Natural zap NA97065 is a prerequisite for the continued use of CORS09 in conjunction with Natural for zIIP. The absence of NA97065 may result in a RSP101 Subcode 22.
