This document describes the steps for installing Natural Com-plete/SMARTS Interface Version 8.3.4 which corresponds to the Natural Com-plete Interface (product code NCF) on z/VSE.
For information on how to operate Natural in a Com-plete/SMARTS environment, see the following topics:
Using Natural with TP Monitors in the TP Monitor Interfaces documentation.
Natural under Com-plete/SMARTS in the TP Monitor Interfaces documentation.
Natural under Com-plete/SMARTS User Abend Codes in the Messages and Codes documentation.
For information on installing and using Com-plete, see the Com-plete documentation.
When used in this document, the notation
vrs or
vr represents the relevant product
version (see also Version in the
Glossary).
Wichtig:
Before you install Natural Com-plete/SMARTS Interface Version
8.3.4, you need to apply the
Natural
update announced in the current Natural Release
Notes.
A supported version of the following product must be installed before you can install the Natural Com-plete/SMARTS Interface:
Com-plete
See the Com-plete Installation documentation.
See also General Prerequisites and System Support in the section Overview of the Installation Process.
The installation medium contains the following data set required for product installation:
| Data Set Name | Contents |
|---|---|
NCFvrs.LIBR |
Source modules, macros, phases and object modules |
Copy the data set into your environment as described in Copying Data Sets to a z/VSE Disk in the section Installing Natural.
Sample installation jobs are contained in the NATvrs.LIBJ data set
and are prefixed with the product code. The data set is provided on the
installation medium supplied for base Natural.
Be sure to read Installation Process and Major Natural Features before you start the installation procedure.
(Job I080, Step 2300)
The Natural profile parameters and parameter macros mentioned in this section are described in the Parameter Reference documentation unless otherwise noted.
Modify the Natural parameter module for Com-plete/SMARTS:
Configure the Com-plete/SMARTS batch interface: Modify the settings
of the parameters supplied with the macro
NTCOMP
to meet your requirements. For descriptions of these parameters, see the
corresponding profile parameter COMP.
Modify the following parameters:
FNAT=(database-id,file-number) FUSER=(database-id,file-number)
where database-id and
file-number are the values you
specified when loading the system files during the
Installation
Procedure for base Natural.
Define a Natural local buffer pool under Com-plete by modifying the
values of the keyword parameters supplied with the parameter macro
NTBPI
(see the Natural profile parameter BPI) as required.
A local buffer pool is allocated during initialization of the first Natural session after Com-plete startup.
The status of the local buffer pools can be displayed on the operator console by issuing the following Com-plete operator command:
SERV,server-name,BPSTAT
where server-name is the name
of the server as specified with the Com-plete SERVER startup option.
(Job I080, Step 2320)
Link the environment-dependent nucleus for the Natural Com-plete/SMARTS Interface.
Link the environment-dependent nucleus into your Com-plete user program library.
The list of the modules to be linked for the environment-dependent nucleus is supplied with Step 2320.
If you want Natural to run in the IBM Language Environment (LE), set
the System Maintenance Aid
(SMA) NAT-LE to Y (Yes). The
default setting is N (No).
Specify the environment-dependent nucleus as a Com-plete startup option by setting the following Com-plete keyword parameter:
RESIDENTPAGE=name
where name is the name of the
environment-dependent nucleus for the Natural Com-plete/SMARTS Interface.
(Job I080, Step 2350)
Link the Natural Com-plete/SMARTS Interface server.
The Natural Com-plete/SMARTS Interface server is used to maintain common storage and tables across Natural sessions, for example, the local buffer pool.
Specify the Natural Com-plete/SMARTS Interface server as a Com-plete startup option by setting the following Com-plete keyword parameter:
SERVER=(server-name,module-name)
where:
server-name is the name of
the server as specified with the keyword subparameter
SERVER in
the parameter macro NTCOMP
(see the Parameter Reference documentation).
module-name is the name of
the object module
linked in Step
3: Link the Natural
Com-plete/SMARTS Interface Server.
The Natural Com-plete/SMARTS Interface server module is loaded during
Com-plete initialization. The module must therefore be placed in a load library
contained in the COMPINIT load library concatenation (see also the
Com-plete Installation documentation).
This step is required if either of the following is true:
You run Natural under Com-plete/SMARTS and use
threads below the line (THABOVE=NO setting
in the NTCOMP
macro).
|
|
| Or: | |
| You want to use Natural work pools below the 16-MB line. |
Catalog the Natural Com-plete/SMARTS Interface by using the Com-plete ULIB utility.
For threads below the line:
The region size to be specified with the ULIB utility parameter
RG depends on the setting of the keyword subparameter
NTHSIZE
in the parameter macro
NTCOMP
described in the Parameter Reference documentation.
For work pools below the 16-MB line:
The region size to be specified with the ULIB utility parameter
RG depends on the setting of the Natural profile
parameter WPSIZE (see the
Parameter Reference documentation) for the parameter macro
NTPRM (see
the Operations documentation).
See also Storage Usage in the section Natural under Com-plete/SMARTS in the TP Monitor Interfaces documentation.
After installation, you can use the Natural SYSTP utility (see the Utilities documentation) to determine the region size actually used.
You can verify the successful installation of the Natural Com-plete/SMARTS Interface by performing the following steps:
Stop and restart Com-plete.
Enter the Com-plete user menu and type in the name of the environment-dependent nucleus for the Natural Com-plete/SMARTS Interface.
The Natural initial screen should appear.
Proceed with the steps described in the section Test Online Natural.
