This section describes how to install Natural for VSAM in the various environments supported. The installation procedure depends on the TP monitor being used.
Notation vrs or vr: If used in the
following document, 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.
Below is information on:
The installation of Software AG products is performed by installation jobs. These jobs are either created manually or generated by System Maintenance Aid (SMA).
For each step of the installation procedure under z/OS and z/VSE, the job number of a job performing the respective task is indicated. This job number refers to an installation job generated by SMA. If you are not using SMA, an example installation job of the same number is provided in the job library on the Natural for VSAM installation tape; you must adapt this example job to your requirements. Note that the job numbers on the tape are preceded by the product code (for example, NVSI070).
In this document, Natural for VSAM is also referred to as NVS.
For information on using Software AG's System Maintenance Aid (SMA) for the installation process, refer to the System Maintenance Aid documentation.
Products and versions are specified under Natural and Other Software AG Products and Operating/Teleprocessing Systems Required in the current Natural Release Notes.
The installation tape contains the datasets listed in the table below. The sequence of the datasets is shown in the Report of Tape Creation which accompanies the installation tape.
| Dataset Name | Contents |

NVSvrs.EMPL |
VSAM EMPLOYEES demo file.
|
NVSvrs.JOBS |

The notation vrs in dataset
names represents the version number of the product.
The installation tape contains the datasets listed in the table below. The sequence of the datasets and the type and space they require on disk is shown in the Report of Tape Creation which accompanies the installation tape.
| Dataset Name | Contents |

The notation vrs in dataset names represents the version number of the product.
Copy the sublibrary containing the sample installation jobs from tape using the following JCL:
* $$ JOB JNM=NATJOBS,CLASS=0,DISP=D,LDEST=*,SYSID=1 * $$ LST CLASS=A,DISP=D // JOB NATJOBS // ASSGN SYS005,IGN // ASSGN SYS006,cuu,VOL=Tnnnnn // MTC REW,cuu // MTC FSF,SYS006,nn * Tape positioned at tape mark nn * *** NOW PROCESSING NVSvrs.LIBR - SUBLIBRARY NVSnnnJ *** // EXEC LIBR,PARM='MSHP' RESTORE SUBLIB=SAGLIB.NVSvrsJ:SAGLIB.NVSnnnJ - TAPE=SYS006 - LIST=YES - REPLACE=NO /* // MTC REW,SYS006 /* /& * $$ EOJ
cuu
|
represents the physical unit address of the tape drive. |
nn
|
represents the file sequence number as shown in the Report of Tape Creation. |
vrs
|
represents the version number of the product. |
If you are not using System Maintenance Aid, adapt and run job
NVSTAPE to copy the dataset from tape to disk.
NVSTAPE is contained in sublibrary
NVSvrsJ on the Natural installation
tape.
The dataset type and the space it requires on disk are shown in the Report of Tape Creation.
To install Natural for VSAM under the operating systems z/OS and z/VSE, perform the following steps:
Define CICS RDO Definitions for sample VSAM files.
Load the VSAM demo file EMPL (dataset
NVSvrs.EMPL). Define the alternate
index path EMPLX for the file EMPL.
Edit, assemble, and link the Natural for VSAM parameter module
NVSPARM. See Assembling the NVSPARM Parameter
Module in the section Natural for VSAM
Parameters, for a description of the parameters which can be
specified.
Assemble and link the Natural for VSAM I/O module.
If you install Natural for VSAM under CICS, use the I/O module
NVSCICS; for this module, use Job NVSI070 (Step 1400).
If you install Natural for VSAM under Com-plete, the I/O module
NVSMISC must
be assembled by using the parameter SMARTS=YES (Steps 1415 and
1416). See also SMARTS
in the section Natural for VSAM Parameters.
If you install Natural for VSAM in any other environment, use
NVSMISC. See the description of the parameters which can be
specified in NVSMISC.
Note:
Under CICS versions below 5.3, the precompile step receives
Condition Code 12, since new COMMAND level options are used
depending on the CICS version applied. The corresponding assembly step must be
finished with Return Code 0. This is normal and can be ignored.
Modify the appropriate I060 and I080 jobs according to the TP monitor or batch modules you are relinking; for example, NATI060 for batch, NCOI080 for Com-plete and NCII080 for CICS. This applies also to Relink all Natural Nuclei below.
Add the following parameter and macro call to your Natural parameter modules:
VSIZE=72 NTDB VSAM,
vsam-dbid
The value for VSIZE depends on the values
specified in NVSPARM (see also the
VSIZE
Parameter in the section Natural for VSAM
Parameters).
For information on the components and structure of the Natural interface to VSAM, see also Components of Natural for VSAM and Structure of the Natural Interface to VSAM in the section General Information.
Add the following INCLUDE instruction in all links of the shared nucleus:
| Platform | Instruction |
|---|---|
| z/OS | INCLUDE NVSLIB(NVSNUC) |
| z/VSE | INCLUDE NVSNUC |
Add the following INCLUDE instruction in all links of
the front-end:
| Platform | Instruction |
|---|---|
| z/OS | INCLUDE SMALIB(NVSPARM) |
| z/VSE | INCLUDE NVSPARM |
Add the following INCLUDE instruction in the link of the
front-end in a CICS environment:
| Platform | Instruction |
|---|---|
| z/OS | INCLUDE SMALIB(NVSCICS) |
| z/VSE | INCLUDE NVSCICS |
Add the following INCLUDE instruction in the link of the
front-end in any other supported environment (except CICS):
| Platform | Instruction |
|---|---|
| z/OS | INCLUDE SMALIB(NVSMISC) |
| z/VSE | INCLUDE NVSMISCD |
Add the following INCLUDE instruction in the link of the
front-end under z/OS in any other supported environment (except CICS) if
RLS=CHECK is specified in NVSPARM:
| Platform | Instruction |
|---|---|
| z/OS | INCLUDE CSSLIB(IGWARLS) |
The routine IGWARLS is a callable service to support RLS
processing. It resides in the system library SYS1.CSSLIB. Add the
corresponding DD statement to the link step.
| Platform | Instruction |
|---|---|
| z/OS | Add the corresponding DD statements to the link step for Natural and link-edit the executable module. |
| z/VSE | Add the corresponding sublibrary for Natural for VSAM to the search chain for the linkage editor and link-edit the executable module. |
Use the system command INPL to load the Natural for VSAM example
programs (dataset NVSvrs.EXPL) into the
Natural system file.
| TP Monitor | Instruction |
|---|---|
| CICS | Add the entries for the Natural for VSAM test files
EMPLVS and EMPLVX to your RDO definition as described
in Define CICS RDO
Definitions above; you can find the CICS tables on the
JOBS dataset as NVSI005.
|
| Com-plete | Catalog all VSAM files to Com-plete using the CA
function of the Com-plete utility UFILE.
If you have specified
|
| TSO | Add the following ALLOC statements to your
Natural CLIST:
ALLOC F(EMPLVS) DA('SAGLIB.VSAM.EMPL') SHR
ALLOC F(EMPLVX) DA('SAGLIB.VSAM.EMPLX.PATH')SHR |
To verify whether the installation has been successfully performed, log
on to the library SYSEXNVS and run the following programs:
NVSINST1
NVSINST2
NVSINST3
NVSINST4
NVSINST5
NVSINST6
If all these programs can be executed successfully, the installation of Natural for VSAM is completed and verified.
Note for z/OS batch mode: For verification in batch mode under z/OS you can run the job NVSI200 which executes the above programs.
