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

```auto
$ 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”:

```auto
$ 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:

```auto
$ 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)](https://documentation.softwareag.com/adabas/ada67luw/utils/nuc.htm#nucnoadatcp)

Adabas 6.3 is far too old and has no ADATCP support ☹

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](https://hub.docker.com/_/softwareag-adabas-ce)

As far as I can see you have already found [adabas-tcp on github](https://github.com/SoftwareAG/adabas-tcp) 😉

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. 😃

Kind regards!
