Hi Melissa,  
In Empower, at the bottom of the Product version availability page you’ll find a link where we  
list what we support.  
Adabas 8.2.3 is very old and we did not test the version with the latest version of other products.  
You may thing of upgrading Adabas to a supported version.

Thanks,  
Wolfgang
