Compatibility with other products

The following describes Portus compatibility with other software, including prior releases of Portus itself. You may need to upgrade your installation of the software if co- and prerequisites listed here are not met.

• There is an issue if Portus is run from an authorized dataset on z/OS, and will be using the Adabas driver. Please contact the Adabas support group for an optional zap to prevent a S0C4 in ADALNKR, for Adabas 7.4.3 this is fix number AY743119.

• When using the Portus Natural driver, the required minimum levels are

  • Natural 6.3.12 on OpenSystems (Windows / Linux / Unix)

  • Natural 4.2 on z/OS and z/VSE

• Relational databases are accessed via ODBC, therefore the necessary ODBC libraries must be installed. The interface module must be same architecture as the Portus server. For example, Portus running on 64-bit Linux accessing MySQL, needs a 64-bit install of unixODBC and MyODBC. On Windows, a 32-bit install of MyODBC is required, and the 32-bit ODBC configuration dialog must be used : %WINDIR%\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
