Note:
With the October 2015 release, Natural for
Windows has the same
version number as NaturalONE, which is 8.3.6. There is no version 8.3.5 for
Natural.
For information on the supported operating system platforms and other requirements for the current version of Natural, see System Requirements in the Installation documentation.
Due to last-minute documentation updates, it may be possible that the online help that you can invoke directly from the product does not yet contain the latest information. The most up-to-date Natural documentation can always be found on the Software AG documentation website at http://documentation.softwareag.com/ (Empower login required).
The Release Information for Natural Version 8.3.1
erroneously stated that the handling of the
TF parameter was
changed. This information has been removed. Other than previously announced, it
is not possible to use the asterisk notation for the database ID and file
number of the test database. The TF parameter works as
documented. As a workaround, you can use the Natural API USR2005N:
when you specify -1 for the file numbers, each file in the
production database is mapped to the file with the same file number in the test
database.
