Removal of Module NATXMLA9

Module NATXMLA9 has been replaced by NATXML and will be removed with the next release. Make sure to change all instances of NATXMLA9 in your link jobs to NATXML.

Removal of Database Types of DB Parameter or NTDB Macro

The database types ADAV7 and ADAV82 of the DB parameter or the NTDB macro are outdated, because those Adabas versions are no longer supported. The value ADAV8 is also not useful anymore. These database types are to be removed with the next release. Please ensure that you use only the database types ADABAS and ADAV86 for Adabas databases.
