Node.js adabas-tcp

Hi, guys!

Is it possible to connect to ADABAS 6.3 using adabas-tcp? How to enable TCP connection to ADABAS?

I’m running ADABAS on Red Hat Linux

$ adashow 250

Database Id.  : 250
Database Name : ADABAS-DESENV
Version       : v63004 (default)
Config. file  : /users/SAG/ada/db250/DB250.INI
Status        : active

Running “netstat” command I found 2 listening ports for ADABAS “adanuc.bin”:

$ sudo netstat -ntp |grep adanuc
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:42800             127.0.0.1:9207              ESTABELECIDA4845/adanuc.bin     
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:42813             127.0.0.1:9207              ESTABELECIDA5050/adanuc.bin

At the same time I have two “adanuc.bin” process running:

$ ps aux |grep adanuc
sag       4845  0.0  4.6 905700 759560 ?       Ssl  Jan30   0:37 /users/SAG/ada/v63004/bin/adanuc.bin DBID=100 +
sag       5050  0.3  4.6 1001280 759084 ?      Ssl  Jan30 438:47 /users/SAG/ada/v63004/bin/adanuc.bin DBID=250 +

I just wrote a lab program to start testing ADABAS Connection using Node.js and I’m anxious to know how to enable/connect to the database.

Thanks in advance.

I believe TCP support is relatively new. I don’t remember whether it was available in Adabas 6.3. Are the following ADANUC parameters documented/defined?

  • ADATCP
  • TCPATB
  • TCPCONNECTIONS
  • TCPRECEIVER

Hi Ralph… Thanks for your reply.

Trying to check these parameters on INI files and service start shells I didn’t found them. There are any other place I can take a look to find them?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Andre,

ADATCP is available since Adabas 6.7.0. SSL is available since 6.7.1.
ADANUC (Starting The Database, Defining Nucleus Parameters) (softwareag.com)

Adabas 6.3 is far too old and has no ADATCP support :frowning:

Maybe the Adabas Docker Community Edition can help you out if you want to have a simple environment for testing purpose? Check out this link: Software AG Adabas CE

As far as I can see you have already found adabas-tcp on github :wink:

Best regards,
Sven

Hi Sven,

Thanks for your reply. We are planning a lot of changes on our environment and the version update is an planned task, but it will take a few months to complete.

Before this i will consider the docker version for testing purposes. :smiley:

Kind regards!
