Overview

Data Archiving for Adabas is installed using the Software AG Installer
from the Software AG download center. The Software AG Installer is sensitive to
the products for which you are licensed. When you log on to it, you see all the
products that you are able to install.

You select the appropriate Data Archiving for Adabas components for
your current installation requirements and the Software AG Installer will
automatically select all other Product and Infrastructure component
dependencies.

The installer will do the following under your direction:

• Download the install files to the computer location you request (or
  will arrange to ship a CD, DVD, etc.).

• Copy the files to the install location that you choose.

• Define the required local service (Windows only).

• Launch (or make available to launch) the product-specific activation
  component to finish off the installation.

Component Installation

The component installation for Data Archiving for Adabas consists of the
following steps:

Log onto the Software AG Installer

On the Software AG welcome screen identify yourself to the Installer by
logging in with your credentials (user name and password). The Installer will
then acquire information about a) all the products for which you are licensed,
and b) those products which are able to be installed using the Installer.

Select the Installation Directory Location

Next, once the Installer has acquired all licensing information for
your site, it shows the default installation directory. You can alter this if
you wish.

Note:
Depending on your choice of installation directory, you may
subsequently see the following warning dialog from the Software AG Installer.
This can arise if you already have Data Archiving for Adabas or its related
components (e.g. System Management Hub) installed in the selected directory.
Please ensure you have selected the correct directory before continuing.

Select Product Component(s) to be Installed

Next, once the installation directory has been identified, you can now
choose the Data Archiving for Adabas components that you wish to install.
Selecting the Data Archiving for Adabas node will automatically select the
default installation components or, alternatively, you can select the
individual components manually.

The following screenshot shows the component selection for the default
installation. These are the required components for a typical installation on a
Windows, Linux, or Unix platform in order to (a) perform Administration, and
(b) implement Archiving Services.

Note:
Adabas System Coordinator dependent components will automatically be
selected based on your chosen Data Archiving for Adabas components.

For other types of installation, the individual Data Archiving for
Adabas components must be selected manually.

Confirm the Installer Should Proceed

Finally, a list of the selected products and their components are shown
for confirmation before installation begins into the specified installation
directory.

Note:
If the Administration component was selected then installation will
also include the following:

• Platform Manager

  Platform Manager is an agent that allows remote administration of one
  or more selected products from Command Central. This is not a prerequisite for
  Data Archiving for Adabas therefore choose Install as Application in order to
  conserve system resources. However, if you do plan to use this capability for a
  different product in this installation then choose Install as Service.

• System Management Hub

  System Management Hub is a prerequisite for administering Data
  Archiving for Adabas. During installation of the System Management Hub several
  interactive screens will be presented to you where the defaults can be taken.
  If you wish to alter these defaults, please refer to the System Management Hub
  documentation available from the Software AG Documentation Web site.
