When a Natural Development Server is used, a procedure to activate the server may be called during system startup.
The Natural installation process provides a Natural Development Server start/stop service procedure. The name of the procedure will be generated depending on the $SAG directory and the Natural Development Server version.
Furthermore, the Natural installation process determines the platform automatically and prepares the system (V style or AIX) to execute the start/stop service procedure during start/stop of the system. Depending on the platform, the system directory for initialization and, if needed, the runlevel startup directories will be selected. The start/stop service procedure will be copied to the system directory for initialization and links will be created in the runlevel startup directories.
The Natural installation process installs the Natural Development Server start/stop service as an optional feature. You can also set up this service manually as described below.
This document covers the following topics:
To verify the operation of the Natural Development Server, invoke a Natural for Windows and connect to the system on which the servers runs. Use the port specified at start of the Natural Development Server.
The procedure template natdvsrv.tpl in the $NATDIR/$NATVERS/INSTALL directory may be used to create a script which is used to invoke the Natural Development Server during system startup.
The following table shows where the init.d and rc3.d directories are located on the various platforms. In the following description, init.d or rc3.d stand for the relevant path indicated below for the platform you are using.
| Platform | System Directory for Initialization | Runlevel Startup Directory |
|---|---|---|
| Solaris | /etc/init.d | /etc/rc3.d |
| HP-UX | /sbin/init.d | /sbin/rc3.d |
| Linux | /etc/init.d | /etc/init.d/rc3.d or /etc/init.d/rc5.d |
A sample copy of the Natural Development Server start/stop procedure is shown below. It can be edited with a text editor.
To set up the system, proceed as described below:
Log in as user "root".
Copy the template natdvsrv.tpl to the init.d system directory and rename it, for example to sag1ndv22srv.
If already available, create a backup copy of your current sag1ndv22srv file contained in the init.d directory (see the above table).
Set the following environment variables in the sag1ndv22srv procedure:
NATDIR |
Location where Natural was installed. |
|---|---|
NATVERS |
Natural version number. |
NATADM |
The login name of the Natural system administrator responsible for this Natural Development Server. It is assumed that this administrator account is called "sag", and that the user ID is already known to the system. It does not have to be a user with root privileges. |
Note:
The Bourne shell does not allow blanks before and after the equals
sign in the lines to be customized.
Create a link "S99sag1ndv22srv" to the sag1ndv22srv procedure in the rc3.d directory.
You may create a link to the Natural Development Server start/stop procedure in the runlevel 3 startup directory of your UNIX machine. The rc3.d directory contains several Bourne shell scripts or links to Bourne shell scripts that start with "S" followed by a number, for example "99". A lower number will be executed first. If you add a file or a link to this directory, the respective code is executed when the system changes to "multi-user mode".
Make sure that the Natural Development Server is started after the buffer pool and is stopped before the buffer pool.
The procedure template natdvsrv.tpl in the $NATDIR/$NATVERS/INSTALL directory may be used to create a script which is used to invoke the Natural Development Server during system startup.
To set up the system, proceed as described below:
Log in as user "root".
Copy the template natdvsrv.tpl to the etc system directory and rename it, for example to sag1ndv22srv.
Set the following environment variables in the sag1ndv22srv procedure:
NATDIR |
Location where Natural was installed. |
|---|---|
NATVERS |
Natural version number. |
NATADM |
The login name of the Natural system administrator responsible for this Natural Development Server. It is assumed that this administrator account is called "sag", and that the user ID is already known to the system. It does not have to be a user with root privileges. |
Note:
The Bourne shell does not allow blanks before and after the equals
sign in the lines to be customized.
The /etc/inittab file supplies the script to the
init command's role as a general process dispatcher. Therefore, enter a record
with the sag1ndv22srv script in the
/etc/inittab file using the
mkitab command. For example:
mkitab "sag1ndv22srv:3:wait:/etc/sag1ndv22srv > dev/console"
Verify your changes to make sure that the changes made consist only of those changes desired.
