How you start an Adabas SystemManager session depends on whether you are accessing the software locally or remotely.

After successfully logging on, the Adabas SystemManager application starts and the Adabas SystemManager home page is displayed.

To start a local Adabas SystemManager session on Windows

1. From the Windows Start menu, choose All Programs > start menu group name > Administration > Adabas SystemManager n.n.

   Note
   n.n stands for the current version number. The start menu group name (by default, this is "Software AG") can be changed during the installation.

   The Adabas SystemManager login page appears in your default browser.

2. Enter your login information (local or domain user ID and password) and click the Log In button.

   After successfully logging in, the Adabas SystemManager application starts.

   Note
   In order to log in remotely, you must know the port number for the Adabas SystemManager application (in Tomcat). After logging in locally, click on the link Configuration in the title bar - the port number is displayed under "Application server port".

To start a local Adabas SystemManager session on Linux

• Execute the script amn.sh located in <installdir>/AdabasManager/bin.

To start a local or remote Adabas SystemManager session via a browser on Linux or Windows

1. Open a compatible internet browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Firefox or Google Chrome and open the URL http://<hostname>:<port>/adabasmanager/, replacing <hostname> with the name of the host machine on which Adabas SystemManager is installed and <port> is the "Application port number" (see above).

   Note
   The firewall of the remote machine on which Adabas SystemManager is running must be configured to allow this remote access.

   The Adabas SystemManager login page appears in your default browser.

2. Enter your login information (user ID and password for this machine) and click the Log In button.

   Note
   In addition to the Windows or Linux user ID, the Adabas SystemManager security user ID is also checked. For reasons of compatibility, the systems user ID must adhere to the same naming conventions as the security user ID (it can be up to 32 alphanumeric characters long and must not contain blanks). The security user ID is automatically set to uppercase.

   After successfully logging in, the Adabas SystemManager application starts.

An Adabas SystemManager session can be ended in a number of ways:

1. Choose Logout from the user profile on the top right corner in the Adabas SystemManager title bar. Logging out always terminates Adabas SystemManager. This is the recommended method because it allows Adabas SystemManager to save information and release used resources before the session terminates.

2. Alternatively, close the internet browser or close the browser tab in which Adabas SystemManager is running.
