This section describes the main functions provided by the Object Handler.
If you execute an Object Handler function while a remote Natural Development Server environment is active, this function will process all objects in the remote environment currently mapped in Natural Studio or with a direct command if used.
You can take advantage of the Object Handler wizards to guide you through the steps required to execute the unload, load, scan and administration functions. The wizards are activated by default. If you prefer the unload, load or scan mode for the experienced user instead, select the check box next to Advanced user in the Welcome to the Natural Object Handler window or adjust the default input mode by using the Object Handler profile option. See also Profile Settings.
Tip:
You can create standard procedures to define recurring settings and
object specifications which automate the processing of the unload, load or scan
function, see Workplans.
Caution:
You cannot unload, load or scan external files in remote
environments located on mainframe platforms. Natural DDMs (data definition
modules) can only be unloaded, loaded or scanned in remote
environments located on mainframe platforms.
