This section describes step by step how to install Natural for MBCS (product code NKA) under the operating system z/VSE using Adabas system files.
This section covers the following topics:
See also z/VSE Environment in the Operations documentation.
For installation-related information on Unicode and code page support, refer to Configuration and Administration of the Unicode/Code Page Environment in the Unicode and Code Page Support documentation.
If used in the following section, the notation vrs or vr stands for the relevant version, release, system maintenance level numbers. For further information on product versions, see Version in the Glossary.
Base Natural must be installed.
It is possible to use a VSAM file as a system file. In this case, Natural for VSAM must be installed. For more information, see the Natural for VSAM documentation.
For further information, refer to the products and versions specified under Natural and Other Software AG Products and Operating and Teleprocessing Systems Required in the current Natural Release Notes for Mainframes.
The installation tape contains the datasets listed in the table below. The sequence of the datasets and the number of library blocks needed are shown in the Report of Tape Creation which accompanies the installation tape.
| Dataset Name | Contents |
|---|---|
NKAvrs.LOAD |
LIBR backup file.
|
NKAvrs.INPL |
Natural for MBCS system objects. |
If you are using SMA, refer to the System Maintenance Aid documentation (included in the current edition of the Natural documentation CD).
If you are not using SMA, follow the instructions below.
This section explains how to:
Copy dataset COPYTAPE.JOB from tape to disk.
Modify this dataset to confom with your local naming conventions.
The JCL in this member is then used to copy all datasets from tape to disk.
If the datasets for more than one product are delivered on the tape, the
member COPYTAPE.JOB contains the JCL to unload the datasets for
all delivered products from the tape to your disk, except the datasets that you
can directly install from tape, for example, Natural INPL
objects.
After that, you will have to perform the individual install procedure for each component.
The dataset COPYTAPE.JOB contains the JCL to unload all other
existing datasets from tape to disk. To unload COPYTAPE.JOB, use
the following sample JCL:
* $$ JOB JNM=LIBRCAT,CLASS=0, + * $$ DISP=D,LDEST=(*,UID),SYSID=1 * $$ LST CLASS=A,DISP=D // JOB LIBRCAT * ***************************************** * CATALOG COPYTAPE.JOB TO LIBRARY * ***************************************** // ASSGN SYS004,nnn <------ tape address // MTC REW,SYS004 // MTC FSF,SYS004,4 ASSGN SYSIPT,SYS004 // TLBL IJSYSIN,'COPYTAPE.JOB' // EXEC LIBR,PARM='MSHP; ACC S=lib.sublib' <------- for catalog /* // MTC REW,SYS004 ASSGN SYSIPT,FEC /* /& * $$ EOJ
where:
nnn is the tape
address
lib.sublib is the library and
sublibrary of the catalog
Modify COPYTAPE.JOB to conform to your local naming
conventions and set the disk space parameters before submitting this job.
Submit COPYTAPE.JOB to unload all other datasets from the
tape to your disk.
(Jobs I060 and I080 from the Natural installation tape)
Relink your Natural nucleus to include the Natural for MBCS module:
INCLUDE NKANUC
You must link the NKANUC module to all Natural nuclei that
should make use of the features supplied by Natural for MBCS. Software AG
recommends that you relink Natural with the NKANUC module.
To avoid the need to relink Natural with NKANUC, specify
the Natural profile parameters RCA and
RCALIAS either dynamically or in the
NATPARM parameter module:
RCA=NATGWNKA,RCALIAS=(NATGWNKA,NKANUC)
(Job I061, Step 8200)
Use the Natural utility INPL to load the Natural
system objects (dataset NKAvrs.INPL)
into the Natural system file.
After the last step of the installation procedure has been successfully
performed, start Natural and enter the command EDIT
MAP at the command prompt. The Edit Map menu
should then appear with the additional menu option Outline
Editor.
