This document covers the following topics:
The Natural installation creates a local Windows user group with the name "SAG Natural Users". The user "EVERYONE" is assigned to this user group by default.
When the Windows user group "SAG Natural Users" is created, you have to reboot your machine when the installation finishes. When this user group has already been created (due to a previous installation), this reboot is not required.
The user group "SAG Natural Users" receives full write permissions for all installed objects. Due to the user "EVERYONE", all users have write permissions for all installed objects. You can limit these permissions by removing the user "EVERYONE" from the user group "SAG Natural Users", and then manually adding all required users to this group. To do so, go to Local Users and Groups.

After you have installed your product, you need to set up a number of files, parameters and individual settings depending on your environment. These are described below. To set them up, you use the SYSPCI utility. For detailed information on this utility, see SYSPCI Utility - Product Configuration and Initialization in Natural's Tools and Utilities documentation.
The Natural Command Processor requires an NCP
file.
Natural Security requires an Adabas FSEC
system file.
Natural Security provides the function Logging of Maintenance
Functions. If logging is activated, a Natural Security log file
(NSL
) is required in Adabas and needs to be set up with the SYSPCI
utility. With this version, you can continue to use your existing Natural
Security log file. If you want to set up a Natural Security log file, it is
recommended that you do this before setting up an FSEC
file for
Natural Security. In this order, both files can be set up by starting the
SYSPCI utility only once.
The database IDs and file numbers of the new or existing files
(FSEC
or
NCP
) that you specify using the SYSPCI utility are entered into
the default parameter files for Natural Security (NSCPARM
) and
Natural (NATPARM
).
Note:
If Natural Security is already active and you use the SYSPCI utility
to create a new FSEC
file, database ID and file number are not
entered into the current NATPARM
and
NSCPARM
files.
When you initialize (activate) Natural Security using the SYSPCI
utility,
the default FNAT
system file from the installation must be used
(that is,
<install-dir>/Natural/fnat).
Otherwise, a subsequent update installation will not be possible.
The required Adabas files can either be local or remote.
Remote Access
If the file is located in a remote database, Entire Net-Work must be
active and the database must be accessible.
Note:
For Natural Security, see also
Using
Natural Security on Multiple Platforms in the
Natural Security documentation.
Existing Local File
Before you start the SYSPCI utility, make sure that the Adabas database
containing the required files is active. With this version, you can continue to
use your existing files. No migration of data
from the previous version to the current version is necessary.
New File
Before you start the SYSPCI utility, make sure that the Adabas database
which will contain the required files is active. The SYSPCI utility will load
and initialize these files. This should be also done if another file is
required for your product.
Before you create new files with the SYSPCI utility, make sure that the ASSO and DATA sizes of your Adabas database are appropriate for these files. It is therefore recommended that you check the Adabas .fdu files in the <install-dir>/<product>/INSTALL/<product-code> directory for the used sizes. If required, change your database setup so that the files can be created.
For Natural Security, for example, the ASSO and DATA sizes are not appropriate if you are using the default database. The .fdu files for Natural Security can be found in the <install-dir>/Natural/INSTALL/nsc directory.
In addition, make sure that the Adabas nucleus parameters listed in the following table are set for the database you want to use at database startup. They are not appropriate if you are using the default nucleus parameters.

In order to invoke the SYSPCI utility, you must first invoke Natural. You can then invoke the SYSPCI utility using the command line.
To invoke the SYSPCI utility
From the Windows
menu, choose to invoke Natural.From the
menu, choose to switch on the display of the command line.Enter the following command in the command line:
SYSPCI
For more information, see SYSPCI Utility - Product Configuration and Initialization in Natural's Tools and Utilities documentation.
After Natural has been installed for the first time, additional configuration steps are required in the following cases:
Natural Development Server
If you have installed Natural Development Server (NDV), see the
description of the appropriate NDV server in the Natural Single Point of
Development (SPoD) documentation for further information. This documentation is
available separately.
SPoD-Specific Features
If have installed the development environment and you want to
use plug-ins which make up the Natural development client for SPoD, see the
descriptions of the appropriate SPoD-specific features in the Natural Single
Point of Development documentation for further information. This documentation
is available separately.
Entire Systems Management
Entire Systems Management requires additional software on the
server. If you have installed the Entire Systems Management clients, you have
to initialize the clients before you can use them. To do so, choose
All Programs > Software AG > Administration > ESM
Configuration for Natural n.n from the
Windows Start menu. In the resulting dialog box, you can
select whether to initialize or remove a client. Only initialized clients will
be shown in the Entire Systems Management application window. See the following
documentation sets for further information - these documentation sets are
available separately:
Mainframe Navigation documentation
Output Management GUI Client documentation
Entire Operations GUI Client documentation
Natural Web I/O Interface
If you have installed the Natural Web I/O Interface, see the
Natural Web I/O
Interface documentation for information on how to
configure the server part (that is, the service), and how to install
and configure the Natural Web I/O Interface client. If you want to use Natural
for Ajax as the client, see the Natural for Ajax documentation. This
documentation is available separately.
If you have installed the Natural Security runtime version, no further steps are required.
The initial installation of Natural Security results in the creation of the following security profiles and relationships:
A library security profile with library ID SYSSEC
.
The library is people-protected (People-protected set to
"Y" and Terminal-protected set
to "N").
A user security profile with user ID "DBA", user type "ADMINISTRATOR", and password set to "DBA".
User "DBA" is linked to library
SYSSEC
(ordinary link, no special link).
If there is a previously installed version of Natural Security, these two security profiles will not be modified by a subsequent installation, nor will any objects or relationships already defined be affected.
If you have installed the full version of Natural
Security for the very first
time (that is, if the version you have installed is your first version of
Natural Security on this FSEC
system file), proceed as described
in the Natural Security documentation under the heading
First Steps After the
Installation. Do this immediately after a successful
installation of Natural Security.
