The installation procedure comprises the following:
This section described the installation steps that apply to all Natural environments where Natural for DL/I can be installed. The steps additionally required for a particular TP monitor are described in the following sections.
(Job I054, Step 1500)
Link the Natural for DL/I bootstrap module
NDLSINIB
.
(Job I055, Steps 1500, 1501)
Modify the Natural for DL/I parameter module
NDLPARM
as described in the section Natural Parameter Modifications
for DL/I in the Database Management System
Interfaces documentation.
Assemble and link/catalog NDLPARM
.
(Job I060, Steps 0010, 0015)
Build the Natural parameter module for batch mode:
Add the Natural profile parameter DLISIZE
and
specify DLISIZE=27
. This value applies if the default values of
the parameters contained in the
NDLPARM
module are used. DLISIZE
is described in the
Parameter Reference documentation.
Add an NTDB
macro (see the Parameter Reference documentation) to the
Natural parameter module specifying the database IDs (DBIDs) that relate to
DL/I segment types. The numbers specified in this DBID list must be in the
range from 1 to 254. They indicate which DBIDs are reserved for DL/I segment
types. Up to 254 entries can be specified. All Natural DDMs that refer to a
DL/I segment type are cataloged with a DBID from this list. The number with the
lowest value in this list is the default DBID for DL/I segment types.
NTDB DLI,(250,253,252) NTDB DLI,250
Anmerkung:
Values for DL/I DBIDs above 255 are not possible.
Assemble and link the parameter module.
(Job I060, Steps 0020, 0105)
Link the environment-dependent nucleus (Step 0020) for batch Natural.
Add the following INCLUDE
statements and the
corresponding DD statements to the link step for Natural:
INCLUDE NDLLIB(NDLSIOBA) INCLUDE SMALIB(NDLPARM) INCLUDE RESLIB(ASMTDLI)
Link the environment-independent nucleus (Step 0105).
Add the following INCLUDE
statement and
the corresponding DD statement to the link step for Natural:
INCLUDE NDLLIB(NDLNUC)
(Jobs I008, I053, I075)
Build a Natural for DL/I environment with a sample database:
Allocate VSAM spaces for the sample database (Job I008, Steps 1500 and 1501).
Create the DBDs and PSBs, and perform the initial load (Job I053, Steps 1500, 1521, 1531, 1541, 1542, 1543, 1550, and 1560).
Execute the procedures NATPSB
and
NATDBD
for the sample database (Job I075, Steps 1500, 1510, 1520,
152,1 and 1522).
Additional data must be added to the FDIC
system
file to enable Natural to access DL/I databases. To do so, the procedures
NATPSB
and
NATDBD
(see
the relevant sections in the Database Management System
Interfaces documentation) must be executed for each PSB/DBD to be
used.
This section describes the additional steps required to install Natural for DL/I in a CICS environment.
(Job I080, Steps 2210, 2220)
Build the Natural Parameter Module for the Natural CICS Interface:
Add the Natural profile parameter DLISIZE
and
specify DLISIZE=27
. This value applies if the default values of
the parameters contained in the
NDLPARM
module are used. DLISIZE
is described in the
Parameter Reference documentation.
Add an NTDB
macro (see the Parameter Reference documentation) to the
Natural parameter module specifying the database IDs (DBIDs) that relate to
DL/I segment types. The numbers specified in this DBID list must be in the
range from 1 to 254. They indicate which DBIDs are reserved for DL/I segment
types. Up to 254 entries can be specified. All Natural DDMs that refer to a
DL/I segment type are cataloged with a DBID from this list. The number with the
lowest value in this list is the default DBID for DL/I segment types.
NTDB DLI,(250,253,252) NTDB DLI,250
Anmerkung:
Values for DL/I DBIDs above 255 are not possible.
Assemble and link the parameter module.
(Job I080, Step 2230)
Link the environment-dependent nucleus for the Natural CICS Interface.
Add the following INCLUDE
statements and
the corresponding DD statements to the link step for Natural:
INCLUDE NDLLIB(NDLSIOCX) INCLUDE SMALIB(NDLPARM) INCLUDE TPSLIB(ASMTDLI)
Instead of the standard link-edit options, you can also use one of the following link-edit methods:
Link-edit all Natural for DL/I modules (NDLNUC
,
NDLPARM
and NDLSIOCX
), the DL/I module
ASMTDLI
and an alternate Natural parameter module as a separate
module with the mandatory entry name CMPRMTB
. The name of the
resulting module is optional. This way of link-editing only applies if an
alternate parameter module (PARM=
) is used. If so, under CICS, an
additional CICS PPT entry with
PROGRAM=name
is required.
Link-edit all Natural for DL/I modules (NDLNUC
,
NDLPARM
and NDLSIOCX
) and the DL/I module
ASMTDLI
as a separate module with the mandatory entry name
NATGWDLI
. The name of the resulting module is optional. However,
if it is different from NATGWDLI
, it must be specified as an alias
name in an NTALIAS
macro entry of the Natural parameter
module. This way of link-editing only applies if the Natural Resolve CSTATIC
Addresses feature (RCA) is used. If so, under CICS, an additional CICS PPT
entry with PROGRAM=name
is
required.
This section describes the additional steps required to install Natural for DL/I in an IMS TM environment.
(Job I080, Steps 2500, 2510)
Build the Natural Parameter Module for the Natural IMS TM Interface:
Add the Natural profile parameter DLISIZE
and
specify DLISIZE=27
. This value applies if the default values of
the parameters contained in the
NDLPARM
module are used. DLISIZE
is described in the
Parameter Reference documentation.
Add an NTDB
macro (see the Parameter Reference documentation) to the
Natural parameter module specifying the database IDs (DBIDs) that relate to
DL/I segment types. The numbers specified in this DBID list must be in the
range from 1 to 254. They indicate which DBIDs are reserved for DL/I segment
types. Up to 254 entries can be specified. All Natural DDMs that refer to a
DL/I segment type are cataloged with a DBID from this list. The number with the
lowest value in this list is the default DBID for DL/I segment types.
NTDB DLI,(250,253,252) NTDB DLI,250
Anmerkung:
Values for DL/I DBIDs above 255 are not possible.
Assemble and link the parameter module.
(Job I080, Steps 2570, 2572)
Link the environment-dependent nucleus for the Natural IMS TM Interface.
Add the following INCLUDE
statements and
the corresponding DD statements to the link step for Natural:
INCLUDE NDLLIB(NDLSIOBA) INCLUDE SMALIB(NDLPARM) INCLUDE RESLIB(ASMTDLI)
Instead of the standard link-edit options, you can also use one of the following link-edit methods:
Link-edit all Natural for DL/I modules (NDLNUC
,
NDLPARM
and NDLSIOBA
), the DL/I module
ASMTDLI
and an alternate Natural parameter module as a separate
module with the mandatory entry name CMPRMTB
. The name of the
resulting module is optional. This way of link-editing only applies if an
alternate parameter module (PARM=
) is used.
Link-edit all Natural for DL/I modules (NDLNUC
,
NDLPARM
and NDLSIOBA
) and the DL/I module
ASMTDLI
as a separate module with the mandatory entry name
NATGWDLI
. The name of the resulting module is optional. However,
if it is different from NATGWDLI
, it must be specified as an alias
name in an NTALIAS
macro entry of the Natural parameter
module. This way of link-editing only applies if the Natural Resolve CSTATIC
Addresses feature (RCA) is used.
The following steps are required if you want to run the Natural for
DL/I NATEXPL
example program in an IMS TM environment.
Run IMS TM PSBGEN procedures to create the sample PSBs
NATSYSF
, NATSYSFL
,
NIIvrsFR
,
