Hi Ashish,

SYSPROD is just telling it how it is. Your site is running Natural V2.2.8, last seen in the wild at the turn of the century and out of support for a long, long time.

Your Adabas version is probably the same as Adabas Online Services (V7.1.2) but the best way to confirm it would be to look at the DDPRINT output from the database nucleus job/task where it will be listed.

The documentation for these versions isn’t available on the Empower web site as they haven’t been supported for about 15 years. Documentation for unsupported version can be obtained by contacting Software AG support. This assumes, of course, that your company has an active support contract, though, going by the versions you are running, I suspect that you don’t.

Sounds like you need the services of a software archaeologist. 😉

Cheers, Graeme
