This document covers the following topics:
A path to a valid license key file is required during the installation of Natural. The license key file is an XML file which is delivered by e-mail.
Separate license key files are required for Natural for Tamino and Natural Security.
For further information, see the Installation documentation.
Applications that were created with Natural for UNIX Version 3.1 and above can be executed with Version 6.3 with the following restriction:
As of Natural Version 6.2 it is no longer recommended to share the
system file FUSER with previous Natural versions. When you have
two installations of Natural (for example, version 6.1.1 (or below) and version
6.3.1), you have to use two different version-specific FUSER
system files. This is because the format of the Natural library directory file
FILEDIR.SAG has changed as of Natural Version 6.2.
FILEDIR.SAG is automatically converted into the new format
(which is valid as of Natural Version 6.2.) the first time you modify an object
in the FUSER. After FILEDIR.SAG has been
changed to the new format, Natural Version 6.1.1, which is mentioned in the
above example, is not longer able to process the FUSER. For
detailed information, see
Portable Natural System Files and
its subsection
Migrating an Old FILEDIR.SAG File
in the Operations documentation.
Natural Single Point of Development (SPoD) connects Natural for UNIX Version 6.3 to
a Natural for Windows Version 6.3 client (Natural Studio) via the Natural Development Server (NDV) Version 2.2.
This infrastructure enables the developer to create and maintain Natural applications using the Natural Development Server for UNIX to connect to Natural Studio under Windows.
For further information (including any limitations that may apply for your installation), see the separate Natural Single Point of Development documentation and the Natural Development Server documentation.
A revised and updated documentation set is available with this Natural version.
The information on installing and configuring the Natural Web I/O Interface client for a production environment, which was previously only available on the product CD, is now included in this Natural for UNIX documentation. See the Natural Web I/O Interface documentation.
Explanations of the system error messages that may be issued by the Natural nucleus are now included in this Natural for UNIX documentation. See Messages and Codes.
Information on last-minute changes made just before the product release can be found in the file readme.txt that is provided on the Natural installation medium.
