This section describes step by step how to install Natural for MBCS (product code NKA) under the operating system z/OS using Adabas system files.
This section covers the following topics:
See also z/OS 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.
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 |
Natural for MBCS load modules. |
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 COPY.JOB from tape to disk.
Modify this dataset to conform to your local naming conventions.
The JCL in this dataset 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
dataset COPY.JOB contains the JCL to unload the datasets for all
delivered products from the tape to your disk.
After that, you will have to perform the individual install procedure for each component.
The dataset COPY.JOB (Label 2) contains the JCL to unload all
other existing datasets from tape to disk. To unload COPY.JOB, use
the following sample JCL:
//SAGTAPE JOB SAG,CLASS=1,MSGCLASS=X //* --------------------------------- //COPY EXEC PGM=IEBGENER //SYSUT1 DD DSN=COPY.JOB, // DISP=(OLD,PASS), // UNIT=(CASS,,DEFER), // VOL=(,RETAIN,SER=tape-volume), // LABEL=(2,SL) //SYSUT2 DD DSN=hilev.COPY.JOB, // DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE), // UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=volume, // SPACE=(TRK,(1,1),RLSE), // DCB=*.SYSUT1 //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD DUMMY //
where:
hilev is a valid high level
qualifier
tape-volume is the tape
volume name, for example: T12345
volume is the disk volume
name
Modify the COPY.JOB on your disk to conform to your local
naming conventions and set the disk space parameters before submitting this
job:
Set HILEV to a valid high level qualifier.
Set LOCATION to a storage location.
Set EXPDT to a valid expiration date.
Submit COPY.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 NKALOAD(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.
