Before you install the adapter, review the following list of software requirements:

• IDMS must be installed and operational. If it is not, contact your IDMS database administrator.
• FOCUS must be installed and operational. If it is not, contact your FOCUS database administrator or consult the appropriate FOCUS installation guide for instructions to install FOCUS.
• You also need to know the FOCUS release and maintenance level. There are two ways to identify your release number and a maintenance level:
  • Check the label of the FOCUS distribution tape used to install FOCUS. The numbers are printed on it.
  • Invoke FOCUS if it is already installed. The release is displayed each time you begin a FOCUS session. To display the maintenance level, issue the ? RELEASE query command.

  Every copy of FOCUS has a release number and a maintenance level.

• All program temporary fixes (PTFs) issued to you for FOCUS or for the adapter must have been applied to the appropriate FOCUS or adapter libraries for z/OS.

Enough memory must be available to execute FOCUS, IDMS, and the adapter. The recommended memory requirements for FOCUS are adequate to run the adapter.

Refer to the appropriate IDMS documentation for IDMS requirements.

The adapter is fully reentrant and can run in the 31-bit operating environment.
