Installation Jobs

The installation of Software AG products is performed by installation jobs. These jobs are either created manually or generated by System Maintenance Aid (SMA).

For each step of the installation procedure described below, the job number of a job performing the respective task is indicated. This job number refers to an installation job generated by SMA.

If you are not using SMA, a sample installation job of the same number is provided in the job library on the Entire Event Management installation tape; you must adapt this sample job to your requirements.

Note:
The job numbers on the tape are preceded by a product code (for example, NCLI061).

Using System Maintenance Aid

For information on using Software AG's System Maintenance Aid (SMA) for the installation process, refer to the System Maintenance Aid documentation.

Prerequisites

Before you can install Entire Event Management, the following Software AG products must already be installed at your site:

  • Adabas

  • Natural

  • Entire System Server Version 3.3.2 or higher; only node numbers below 225 can be used.

  • System Automation Tools (SAT) Version 3.1.4 with correction SA31401 (or higher). System Automation Tools is shipped with the Entire Event Manager.

  • Natural Security (optional)

  • Entire Net-Work (optional, for multi-CPU support)

  • EntireX Broker (optional when using the API)

The System Automation Tools contains modules shared by the ESM product family: Entire Event Management, Entire Output Management, Entire Operations and Mainframe Navigator. The installation files for the SAT component are always contained on the installation tape of each product of the ESM family.

The installation procedure for the System Automation Tools component is described in section Installation on Mainframe Platforms of the System Automation Tools documentation.

The installation procedure for Entire System Server is described in the Entire System Server Installation documentation.

Notes:

  1. BS2000/OSD: When the Entire Event Management Server is running on BS2000/OSD, XS capability is required. If Adabas 8 and Entire System Server 3.3.2 is used it is necessary to apply the ZAP XC62023.
  2. Natural: The required Natural version is dependent upon the System Automation Tools version running on your system. Please refer to your System Automation Tools documentation for details.
