This documentation explains how to invoke and use the Business Service Administration subsystem for system and application administration, as well as application development. It is intended for administrators who use the subsystem to manage network communications and business services, and for developers who create and maintain business services.

It is assumed that, as an administrator, you have extensive knowledge of Natural Business Services and its supporting products.
