Preparing the Adabas Environment

Adabas environment variables must be set before you configure the server. Refer to the Software AG documentation for more information about required environment variables.

Procedure: How to Prepare the Adabas Environment on Windows

On Windows, the Adabas environment is set up during the installation of Adabas.

Procedure: How to Prepare the Adabas Environment on UNIX

Specify the Adabas database directories to access using the UNIX environment variable $ACLDIR . For example:
```
ACLDIR =/rdbms/sag/acl 
export ACLDIR
```
Specify the Adabas driver using the UNIX environment variable $ADALNK. For example:
```
ADALNK=/rdbms/sag/ada/v6xxx/adalnkx.so 
export ADALNK
```
Specify the version of the Adabas product using the UNIX environment variable $ADAVERS. For example:
```
ADAVERS=v6xxx

Procedure: How to Prepare the Adabas Environment on OpenVMS

When a site creates an Adabas ID, the software automatically generates a DCL setup script so users can properly invoke the environment.

The specification for the location of the Adabas setup file is

$@SAG$ROOT:[adabas_root]LOGIN.COM

where:

SAG$ROOT: Is the disk on which Adabas is installed.
adabas_root: Is the root directory of the Adabas installation.

The logicals ADABAS$MAIN, ADALNK, and ADABAS$VERSION will be used to communicate with Adabas Nucleus.

Procedure: How to Prepare the Adabas Environment on z/OS

Before starting the server, you can specify the name of the CEE LKED PDS by exporting the environment variable CEELKED. The default value is the standard IBM name, CEE.SCEELKED. If you wish to override the default, define the variable as follows

CEELKED=cee_lked_pds

on the EDAENV member of the high_level_qualifier.server_type.DATA.

The CELLKED variable value (either the default or a value you specify) is displayed along with other environment parameters, such as STEPLIB and LIBPATH, in the lower section of the Adabas Configuration pane on the Web Console.
