Preliminaries before Starting a Natural RPC Server

Any kind of Natural session can be used as a Natural RPC server, but typically a Natural server is a Natural session which is started as an asynchronous task or as a background task.

On Mainframes:

For the purpose of starting a server, you have the following options:

• Create an RPC server-specific Natural parameter module.

  For a list of the relevant parameters, refer to the section Setting Up a Natural RPC Environment, Set the RPC Server-Specific Natural Parameters.

  This parameter module is linked to your Natural.

• Alternatively, you can also specify the RPC server-specific Natural profile parameters dynamically.

  The RPC server-specific Natural profile parameters may also be specified in a Natural profile created with the SYSPARM utility. Natural would then be started with

  PROFILE=serverprofile

  where serverprofile is the name of the Natural profile.

On Windows, UNIX or OpenVMS:

For the purpose of starting a server, you have the following options:

• Create an RPC server-specific Natural parameter file.

  For a list of the relevant parameters, refer to the section Setting Up a Natural RPC Environment, Set the RPC Server-Specific Natural Parameters. As it is strongly recommended to start a Natural RPC server with the Natural profile parameter BATCHMODE, you should additionally specify the Natural profile parameters CMSYNIN, CMOBJIN and CMPRINT.

  Natural will then be started with

  PARM=serverparm

  where serverparm is the name of the parameter file.

• Alternatively, you can specify the RPC server-specific Natural profile parameters dynamically.

How a Natural server is started depends on the environment and is described in the corresponding paragraphs below. For the sake of simplicity, only the mandatory RPC server-specific profile parameters are shown. The optional RPC server-specfic profile parameters may be specified analogously.

Starting a Natural RPC Server in a Mainframe Online Environment (all TP Monitors)

To start a Natural server in a mainframe online environment

• In your TP monitor environment, enter the following command:

  <natural> PROFILE=serverprofile

  Or:

  <natural> RPC=(SERVER=ON,SRVNAME=servername,SRVNODE=nodename,RPCSIZE=n,MAXBUFF=n)

Where <natural> is the name with which you start your Natural (transaction code, transaction ID, environment-dependent nucleus name) and serverprofile is the name of the Natural profile.

Starting a Natural RPC Server in a Mainframe Online Environment (CICS only)

In a CICS environment, you will typically start a Natural RPC server in asynchronous mode. In addition to the options described above for all TP monitors, you have the following options for this purpose:

• You can use the Natural program STARTSRV in library SYSRPC to start a Natural server in asynchronous mode (see below).

• You can start a Natural RPC server in asynchronous mode during startup of CICS (see below).

When starting the asynchronous Natural RPC server, it is recommended to specify the Natural profile parameters TTYPE, INTENS, SENDER in addition, using the following settings:

TTYPE=ASYL,INTENS=1,SENDER=CSSL

This will cause each output to the primary output destination to be written in line mode rather than in 3270 mode. Instead of CSSL, you may specify any other CICS output destination.

Starting a Natural RPC Server in Asynchronous Mode with STARTSRV

STARTSRV is a sample front-end for RPCSSRV that starts the asynchronous Natural session.

By default, the asynchronous Natural is started with the same transaction ID in the same library as the current session.

If Natural Security Security (NSC) is used, the user ID of the current Natural session is propagated, too. You may adapt the input to your requirements.

Note that some Natural profile parameters are implicitly added by RPCSSRV. This applies especially to the keyword subparameter RPCSIZE of profile parameter RPC. RPCSIZE defaults to MAXBUFF+4, where MAXBUFF is the value entered in the map field Receiving buffer. You may overwrite the default value for RPCSIZE by entering RPC=(RPCSIZE=n) in the map field Session parameter.

If you want to execute a Natural program during startup of the Natural session, you may use the map field User Stack. The content of User Stack is put on the Natural STACK and executed before the Natural server is activated.

To show the Natural profile parameters involved, enter *SHOW* in the Transaction ID field. STARTSRV will show you all dynamic profile parameters that will be used by RPCSSRV to start the asynchronous Natural session.

Starting a Natural RPC Server Session in Asynchronous Mode during Startup of CICS

To start a Natural RPC server session in asynchronous mode during startup of CICS, proceed as follows:

Use the PLTPI to start a program that uses EXEC CICS START to start a Natural session with all required RPC specific Natural profile parameters. You may adapt the sample PLTPI program XNCIFRNP that is provided in the Natural CICS source library.

Please note that the Natural session is started under the CICS default user ID, which, by default, is CICSUSER. This user ID is assigned to the Natural system variables *INIT-USER and *USER. If your Natural session is running under Natural Security, you may therefore have to put a Natural LOGON command on the Natural STACK.

Starting a Natural RPC Server in a Mainframe Online Environment (Com-plete only)

In a Com-plete environment, you will typically start a Natural RPC server in asynchronous mode. In addition to the options described above for all TP monitors, you have the following options for this purpose:

• You can use the Natural program STARTSRV in library SYSRPC to start a Natural server in asynchronous mode (see below).

• You can start a Natural RPC server in asynchronous mode during startup of Com-plete (see below).

Starting a Natural RPC Server in Asynchronous Mode with STARTSRV

STARTSRV is a sample front-end for RPCSSRV that starts the asynchronous Natural session.

By default, the asynchronous Natural is started with the same Natural name in the same library as the current session.

If Natural Security Security (NSC) is used, the user ID of the current Natural session is propagated, too. You may adapt the input to your requirements.

Note that some Natural profile parameters are implicitly added by RPCSSRV. This applies especially to the keyword subparameter RPCSIZE of profile parameter RPC. RPCSIZE defaults to MAXBUFF+4, where MAXBUFF is the value entered in the map field Receiving buffer. You may overwrite the default value for RPCSIZE by entering RPC=(RPCSIZE=n) in the map field Session parameter.

If you want to execute a Natural program during startup of the Natural session, you may use the map field User Stack. The content of User Stack is put on the Natural STACK and executed before the Natural server is activated.

To show the Natural profile parameters involved, enter *SHOW* in the Transaction ID field. STARTSRV will show you all dynamic profile parameters that will be used by RPCSSRV to start the asynchronous Natural session.

Starting a Natural RPC Server Session in Asynchronous Mode during Start-up of Com-plete

To start a Natural RPC server session in asynchronous mode during startup of Com-plete, proceed as follows:

Use the startup option (sysparms) STARTUPPGM to start a Natural session with all required RPC-specific Natural profile parameters. You may either specify the required RPC-specific parameters individually or use a Natural profile to specify them as follows:

STARTUPPGM='<natural> PROFILE=<serverprofile>'

Please note that the Natural session is started under the user ID under which Com-plete is started. This user ID is assigned to the Natural system variables *INIT-USER and *USER. If your Natural session is running under Natural Security, you may therefore have to put a Natural LOGON command on the Natural STACK.

Starting a Batch Server in a Mainframe Environment

A batch server is a standard Natural batch session that is started with the RPC parameters described in the section Setting Up a Natural RPC Environment, Set the RPC Server-Specific Natural Parameters.

The following topics are covered below:

• Starting a Batch Server under z/OS

• Starting a Batch Server under z/VSE

• Starting a Batch Server under BS2000/OSD

Running a Batch Server with Replicas

You can also run a batch server with replicas by setting the keyword subparameter NTASKS of profile parameter RPC or parameter macro NTRPC to a value greater than 1.

Replicas are attached to a Natural main task as additional server tasks. They enable you to start several identical servers in the same region.

1. Create a shortcut for Natural.

2. Enter the shortcut properties.

3. In the Target text box, edit the Natural path and append:

   "<Path>\natural.exe" batchmode parm=serverparm

   where serverparm is the name of the parameter file,

   Or:

   "<Path>\natural.exe" batchmode
   server=on srvname=servername srvnode=nodename maxbuff=n cmsynin=cmsynin cmobjin=cmobjin cmprint=cmprint
   

Starting a Natural RPC Server in a UNIX Environment

   $ SUBMIT myserver.com

Considerations for Mainframe Natural RPC Servers with Replicas

This section applies to mainframe Natural servers under z/OS and z/VSE.

• Natural RPC Batch Server with NTASKS >1

• Running a Batch Server with Replicas

Natural RPC Batch Server with NTASKS >1

The main task and all replicas run in the same z/OS region or z/VSE partition.

1. Use the reentrant batch link routine ADALNKR instead of ADALNK.

   If you want to use ADAUSER, you must not link ADAUSER with your front-end, because ADAUSER is non-reentrant (see Item 5). Instead, use the Natural profile parameter ADANAME and set ADANAME=ADAUSER. This will cause Natural to load ADAUSER dynamically at runtime.

   Note for z/VSE: If you use ADAUSER, you must rename ADALNKR to ADALNK.

2. In the Natural parameter module:

   • Set the keyword subparameter NTASKS=n of profile parameter RPC or parameter macro NTRPC, where n is the number of parallel servers (< 100) to be started, including the main task.

     Note for z/VSE: The number of subtasks is restricted by the operating system. Ask your system administrator.

   • Use the Natural profile parameter ETID to specify the Adabas user identification as a blank character. This is necessary to prevent a NAT3048 error (ETID not unique in Adabas nucleus) when the subtask is started.

3. When using dynamic Natural profile parameters:

   Use the dynamic parameter dataset CMPRMIN to pass the dynamic Natural profile parameters to Natural. Do not use the PARM card or the primary command input dataset CMSYNIN.

4. When using a local buffer pool (z/OS only):

   Each subtask allocates its own local buffer pool unless you specify a shared local buffer pool. See subparameter LBPNAME of profile parameter OSP or parameter macro NTOSP (in the Parameter Reference documentation).

5. In the Natural front-end link job (z/OS only):

   Link the front-end reentrant by using the RENT option of the linkage editor.

   If the front-end were not linked with the RENT option, only the main task would start the communication with the EntireX Broker. All subtasks would be set to a WAIT status by z/OS, until the main task would have been terminated. If you would terminate the RPC server lateron, the address space would hang and would have to be cancelled.

6. Make sure that any other modules that are additionally linked to the Natural nucleus are reentrant. Any dynamically loaded programs must also be reentrant.

   Note for z/OS: If you cannot make a module reentrant, link the module as non-reusable; this means, you should not specify the link option RENT or REUS. This is to ensure that each subtask will get its own copy.

Running a Batch Server with Replicas

For a sample JCL, see Using the Server Trace Facility.

Starting a Natural RPC Server Using the RPC Server Front-End (z/OS Batch Mode only)

In z/OS batch mode, a Natural RPC server may alternatively be started using the RPC server front-end. This approach is required with impersonation and is optional in other cases.

If you use the RPC server front-end without impersonation, you are recommended to set the keyword subparameter NTASKS of profile parameter RPC or parameter macro NTRPC to a value greater than 1. Otherwise, there will be no benefit. The Considerations for Mainframe Natural RPC Servers with Replicas apply also when you are using the RPC server front-end.

The RPC server front-end uses the Natural Server functionality; see Natural as a Server under z/OS (in the Natural Operations documentation). It is characterized by the following features:

• The Natural RPC server front-end starts a number of Natural RPC server sessions as specified by the keyword subparameter NTASKS of profile parameter RPC or parameter macro NTRPC.

• All Natural RPC server sessions run with the same Natural profile parameter settings.

  The Natural profile parameter settings are taken from the Natural parameter module and may be overwritten by dynamically specified profile parameters that are passed with the transaction ID. The dynamically specified profile parameters must follow the startup parameter.

• If all Natural RPC server sessions are currently in use by clients (executing a client request or waiting for the next request within a conversation) and if the keyword subparameter NTASKS of profile parameter RPC or parameter macro NTRPC is set to a value greater than one, auxiliary Natural RPC server sessions are started. These Natural RPC server sessions are automatically terminated on the first EntireX Broker timeout, provided that there is at least one other Natural RPC server session not in use by a client. If all other Natural RPC server sessions are being used by clients, the auxiliary RPC server session will stay up until the next EntireX Broker timeout. This makes sure that there is always a Natural RPC server available to process a new client request.

• The Natural RPC server sessions are executed in a thread environment that is similar to Natural sessions executing in a TP monitor system.

• With impersonation:
  At the end of a non-conversational CALLNAT and at the end of a conversation, all database sessions and all work files are closed. This ensures that the next client request will open the database and the work files with its own user ID.

• Without impersonation:
  After the first EntireX Broker timeout, all database sessions and all work files are closed. This ensures that no resources are blocked during wait times.

Startup Parameters:

The required startup parameters are passed in the PARM= parameter of the EXEC statement in the JCL. These parameters are:

• The name of the Natural z/OS batch nucleus;

• The size of a storage thread;

• The optional keyword UCTRAN.

  UCTRAN indicates that all messages of the RPC Server front-end are converted into upper case.

These parameters must be separated by commas and must be entered without leading or trailing blanks:

PARM='Natural-z/OS-batch-nucleus,size-of-thread[,,UCTRAN]'

Anmerkung:
For compatibility reasons UCTRAN must be preceded by two consecutive commas.

See also the Sample JCL below.

Execution Notes:

• The Natural z/OS batch nucleus is dynamically loaded.

  The load library containing the z/OS batch nucleus must be available in the steplib concatenation.

• The EntireX Broker stub NATETB23 must not be used.

  The EntireX Broker is accessed outside the Natural context. Therefore, you must use the EntireX Broker stub BROKER, see Providing Access to the EntireX Broker Stub on Mainframe.

With impersonation only:
When the impersonation feature is used, the RPC server front end must be executed from an Authorized Program Facility (APF) library. You are recommended to execute the RPC server front-end from an APF-authorized LINKLIST library. This eliminates the need of providing the whole steplib concatenation APF authorized.

With Natural Security only:
If the Natural RPC server front-end is started with profile parameter AUTO=OFF, you must provide a Natural LOGON command with library ID, user ID and password on the Natural stack: STACK=(LOGON library-id;user-id;password).

Sample JCL:

//NATRPC   JOB  CLASS=K,MSGCLASS=X
//         EXEC PGM=RPC-FRONT,REGION=8M

Starting a Natural RPC Server Using the RPC Server Front-End (CICS only)

In CICS, a Natural RPC server may alternatively be started using the RPC server front-end. This approach is required when impersonation is used and is optional in other cases.

If you use the RPC server front-end without impersonation, you are recommended to set the keyword subparameter NTASKS of profile parameter RPC or parameter macro NTRPC to a value greater than 1. Otherwise, there will be no benefit.

The RPC server front-end uses the Natural Server functionality. It is characterized by the following features:

• The Natural RPC server front-end is started via the transaction ID defined in the Customize CICS step for the Natural RPC server front-end;

  see Installing the Natural CICS Interface on z/OS.

  The transaction ID may either be entered at a terminal or you may use the Natural program STARTSFE in library SYSRPC to start the Natural RPC server front-end in asynchronous mode.

  The Natural RPC server front-end requires the name of the Natural CICS interface nucleus as startup parameter. This startup parameter is passed with the transaction ID.

• The Natural RPC server front-end starts a number of Natural RPC server sessions as specified by the keyword subparameter NTASKS of profile parameter RPC or parameter macro NTRPC.

• All Natural RPC server sessions run with the same Natural profile parameter settings.

  The Natural profile parameter settings are taken from the Natural parameter module and may be overwritten by dynamically specified profile parameters that are passed with the transaction ID. The dynamically specified profile parameters must follow the startup parameter.

• If all Natural RPC server sessions are currently in use by clients (executing a client request or waiting for the next request within a conversation) and if the keyword subparameter NTASKS of profile parameter RPC or parameter macro NTRPC is set to a value greater than one, auxiliary Natural RPC server sessions are started. These Natural RPC server sessions are automatically terminated on the first EntireX Broker timeout, provided that there is at least one other Natural RPC server session not in use by a client. If all other Natural RPC server sessions are being used by clients, the auxiliary RPC server session will stay up until the next EntireX Broker timeout. This will ensure that there is always a Natural RPC server available to process a new client request.

• The Natural RPC server sessions are executed in a thread environment that is similar to Natural sessions executing in a TP monitor system.

• All inactive Natural RPC server sessions (sessions that wait for a client request) are rolled out using the Natural Roll Facilities under CICS which are defined for the Natural CICS interface nucleus in use.

• With impersonation:

  At the start of a non-conversational CALLNAT and at the start of a conversation, a new CICS worker task is started under the user ID of the client by using the USERID() option of the EXEC CICS START TRANSID() command. The client request is executed by Natural in this worker task. While the client request is executed, the Natural RPC server session waits for the worker task to finish.

  At the end of a non-conversational CALLNAT and at the end of a conversation, the worker task is terminated and all databases are closed and all CICS resources are freed. This ensures that the next client request will open the database and access the CICS resources with its own user ID.

• Without impersonation:

  The client request is executed by the Natural RPC server session itself.

  After the first EntireX Broker timeout, all databases are closed and all CICS resources are freed. This will ensure that no resources are blocked during wait times.

Startup Parameters:

The required startup parameters are passed with the transaction ID. These parameters are:

• The name of the Natural CICS interface nucleus <ncistart>.

• The optional keyword UCTRAN.

  UCTRAN indicates that all messages of the RPC Server front-end are converted into upper case.

• An optional Natural profile parameter string.

Sample Start at a Terminal:

<natural> <ncistart>[,UCTRAN]
RPC=(SERVER=ON,SRVNAME=servername,SRVNODE=nodename,RPCSIZE=n, MAXBUFF=n)
RCA=BROKER,RCALIAS=(BROKER,CICSETB)

Where <natural> is the transaction ID with which you start your Natural RPC server front-end and <ncistart> is the name of your Natural CICS interface nucleus.

Execution Notes:

• If the Natural Roll Server is required (NCMDIR parameter ROLLSRV is set to YES), you must start a Natural Roll Server for the used subsystem-id (as defined by Natural profile parameter SUBSID) before the Natural RPC server front-end is started.

• The transaction ID of the RPC server front-end is used to identify the RPC server environment.

  Do not to start more than one Natural RPC server front-end with the same transaction ID.

• The executable NCI module is dynamically loaded.

  The load library containing the executable NCI module must be available in the DFHRPL concatenation.

• The EntireX Broker stub NATETB23 must not be used.

  The EntireX Broker is accessed outside the Natural context. Therefore, you must use the EntireX Broker stub CICSETB, see Providing Access to the EntireX Broker Stub on Mainframe.

With impersonation only:
When the impersonation feature is used, the RPC server front-end starts worker tasks. Ensure that the setting of the CICS system initialization parameter MXT of your CICS installation is high enough.

With Natural Security only:
If the Natural RPC server front-end is started with profile parameter AUTO=OFF, you must provide a Natural LOGON command with library ID, user ID and password on the Natural stack: STACK=(LOGON library-id;user-id;password).
