Installation Prerequisites

• On Linux, the GTK2 Windowing system and its dependencies.
• A Java Runtime Environment (minimum: JRE 1.6)

Portus is currently supported on the following platforms:

• Windows 2003/2008/2012/2016 Server (standard edition and enterprise edition)
• Windows 2000 Professional, Server and Advanced Server
• Windows 7/8/10

• Linux x86-64 (64-bit)
  • SuSE Linux Enterprise 11-SP3 or SP4
  • Red Hat Enterprise 6.4 or above
• Linux s390x (64-bit)
• AIX 5.3 / 6.1 (64-bit)
• Solaris 9/10 SPARC (64-bit)
• HP-UX 11i v2 Itanium (64-bit)

• z/OS
• z/VSE

z/OS

• A userid and password that can be used on the z/OS system.
• Appropriate RACF/ACF2/TOP-SECRET access to create datasets.
• Portus installation requires that server files be sent to the z/OS host, therefore an accessible ftp server must be running on this host.
• A free TCP/IP port that can be used (One per Portus server)
• The ability to add a started task or submit a long running job.
• Adabas databases accessed via Portus must be UES-enabled.
• The Adabas WAL813.L003 as well as WAL813.LOAD (or above) libraries must be in the STEPLIB chain, otherwise no access to Adabas will be possible from the Portus server.
• Under certain circumstances, the Adabas link routines may not pick up the SVC and DBID values specified via DDCARD. In this case the SVC number and Database Id must be zapped into ADALNKR, as described in the Adabas installation documentation, and the modified ADALNKR made available in a STEPLIB library ahead of the one containing the original, unzapped version.

Windows

No additional pre-reqs required.

Linux

• The Portus installation scripts require the bash shell.
• The Portus installation requires that server files be sent to the target machine, therefore an accessible ftp or SSH server must be running on the target machine.
• PHP CGI and Soap modules are required.

z/Linux

• The Portus installation scripts require the bash shell.
• The Portus installation requires that server files be sent to the target machine, therefore an accessible ftp or SSH server must be running on the target machine.

Solaris

• The Portus installation scripts require the bash shell.
• The Portus installation requires that server files be sent to the target machine, therefore an accessible ftp or SSH server must be running on the target machine.

AIX

• At least 100MB of free disk space
• The installation files require the "tar" and "gunzip" programs to be extracted.
• The Portus installation scripts require the bash shell.
• The Portus installation requires that server files be sent to the target machine, therefore an accessible ftp or SSH server must be running on the target machine.

Portus requires the following software versions

• Minimum Adabas v5 on OpenSystems platforms (Windows / Linux / Unix); Adabas 6.1.3 + Adabas Client (ACL) 6.2.1.8 required for LOBs (large objects) access
• Any supported UES-enabled Adabas version on the mainframe (v7.4 and higher); Adabas 8.1 or higher required for LOB access
• iTrac ADAOS-3371 must be applied
• Only unixODBC 2.2.13 or above is supported.
• To use any relational database driver (MySQL/Oracle/Postgres/etc) ODBC must be installed, and the appropriate driver interface for your database (e.g. MyODBC/Oracle ODBC/psqlodbc/etc) must also be installed. On Windows this must be a 32-bit driver, and should be configured via %WINDIR%\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
• If accessing MSSQL Server resources, it must be version 2008 or later
• As Portus is a server-based application, Windows-based ODBC DSNs must be created using the "System" tab

Hardware Specifications
