# Adding Kernel Configuration Definitions

When you define a Kernel, a configuration file containing all of its access and connection definitions as well as all of its parameters is created. By default, Kernel configuration files are stored in one of the following locations:

- In Windows 7 environments: `ProgramData\Software AG\Entire Net-Work Server\`

- In Linux environments: `$SAG\wcp\`.

Kernel configuration files have names in the format name.KERNEL, where name is the name you assign the Kernel definition when you add it.

To add a Kernel definition to an Entire Net-Work Server:

Make sure you have accessed the System Management Hub.

1. Select the name of the managed host on which Entire Net-Work Server is installed.

2. Expand the tree-view frame for the managed host by clicking on the plus sign (+) to the left of its name.

3. Select "Entire Net-Work Server" in the tree-view under the managed host.

   The Entire Net-Work Server administration area of the System Management Hub becomes available to you.

4. Expand Servers in tree-view, by clicking on the plus sign (+) to the left of its label.

   The list of installed servers appears.

5. In tree-view, right-click on the name of the server on which you want to add a Kernel and select Add Kernel command from the resulting drop-down menu.

   The Add Net-Work Kernel panel appears in detail-view.

6. Fill in the fields on this panel, as described in the following table:

   Field | Description | Required?
   --- | --- | ---
   Enter the Net-Work Kernel Name | The name of this Kernel definition. The Kernel name will be used as the node name for the Kernel in Entire Net-Work processing. Remember that node names for Entire Net-Work Version 7 Kernels are case-sensitive and must be one to eight characters long. In addition, Kernel node names should be unique, especially if they use the same Adabas Directory Server. | Yes
   E-Business Access parameters | Select e-business access if you want this Kernel definition to include an e-business access specification for another Kernel or for a mainframe Entire Net-Work node. The e-business access parameters include parameters that indicate that this is an e-business Kernel access definition and identifies the port number and additional parameters that should be used for this e-business access. Click in the E-Business Access checkbox (a checkmark should appear) to define an e-business Kernel access definition. Specify the port number that should be used for e-business server access. A value of zero (0) indicates that Entire Net-Work should search for an available port and dynamically assign it. For more information about port numbers, read Port Number Reference. Optionally, specify any Adabas Directory Server additional parameters needed for this e-business Kernel access definition. Additional parameters you specify are described in Parameters, in the chapter entitled Directory Server Target Entries of the Software AG Directory Server Installation and Administration Guide. Separate parameters in this field with ampersand (&) symbols. Note that not all Directory Server parameters apply to all access types. | If e-business server access is required, the E-Business Access checkbox must be checked. No other parameters are required.
   E-Business SSL Access parameters | Select e-business SSL access if you want this Kernel definition to include an e-business access specification for another Kernel using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The e-business SSL access parameters include parameters that indicate that this is an e-business SSL Kernel access definition and identify the port number and additional parameters that should be used for this e-business SSL Kernel access. Click in the E-Business SSL Access checkbox (a checkmark should appear) to define an e-business Kernel access definition using SSL. Specify the port number that should be used for e-business server SSL access. A value of zero (0) indicates that Entire Net-Work should search for an available port and dynamically assign it.
