## Prerequisites

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

- Natural Version 4.2.3 or above;

- Adabas Version 7.4.4 or above;

- Entire System Server Interface (provided with Natural);

- Entire Net-Work Version 5.9.1 (optional, for multi-CPU Support);

The Entire System Server Services are available in any Natural environment that runs any of or a combination of the following operating systems:

- z/OS Version 1.8 or above;

- z/VSE Version 3.1 or above;

- BS2000/OSD Version 4 or above.

#### Notes:

- For z/OS, the relevant PTFs for APAR OA17274 must be applied.

- For z/OS JES3, the PTFs for APARs OA16284, OA19893, OA20685, OA24167 and OA24556 must be applied. See also Information APAR II11784 for recommended JES3 SAPI maintenance.

- Software AG provides Entire System Server support for the operating system versions supported by their respective manufacturers. Generally, when an operating system provider stops supporting a version of an operating system, Software AG will stop supporting that operating system version.

- Although it may be technically possible to run a new version of Entire System Server on an old operating system, Software AG cannot continue to support operating system versions that are no longer supported by the system's provider.
