This document summarizes the prerequisites and the installation steps that are necessary to create a Natural Single Point of Development environment that uses NaturalONE or Natural Studio as a development client and Natural Development Server running under the operating system z/OS (Batch or Com-plete), z/VSE, BS2000, Windows or Linux as a remote development server.
This document covers the following topics:
When using the Natural for Windows (Natural Studio) development client, see Prerequisites for Natural Single Point of Development at http://documentation.softwareag.com/natural/spod_prereq/prereq.htm (Empower login required) for detailed information on the supported products.
When using NaturalONE as the development client, see your NaturalONE documentation for detailed information on the supported products.
A wide-area network (WAN) environment is required with a minimum transmission rate of 100 Mbit or higher.
Installing the products that make up Natural Single Point of Development comprises the following general installation steps (as applicable):
Refer to the Installation documentation for NaturalONE.
Refer to the Installation documentation for Natural for Windows.
Refer to the relevant installation documentation for Natural for Mainframes:
Installation for z/OS
Installation for BS2000
Installation for z/VSE
For background information on the automated installation of Software AG products, see also Concepts of System Maintenance Aid in the System Maintenance Aid documentation.
Refer to the Installation documentation for Natural for Linux.
Refer to the relevant section of the Natural Development Server installation instructions:
Installing the Natural Development Server on z/OS (Batch) and,
if CICS is used as TP monitor, Installing the Natural Development Server CICS Adapter
if IMS TM is used as TP monitor, Installing the Natural Development Server IMS Adapter
Installing the Natural Development Server on z/OS (Com-plete)
Installing the Natural Development Server under SMARTS on z/VSE and, if CICS is used as TP monitor, Installing the Natural Development Server CICS Adapter
Installing the Natural Development Server under SMARTS on BS2000
Installing the Natural Development Server under Windows
Installing the Natural Development Server under Linux
The Natural Development Server File (FDIC
) is used as a central
dictionary file for storing Natural applications and the links to objects making up an
application. It also holds object locking information. This information is not bound
to certain groups of application developers, but has an impact on the entire
application development of an enterprise. Therefore, this file should be available
only once, to ensure that the application definitions and locking states are kept
consistent.
The following information applies to mainframe environments only:
To ensure the use of one single Natural development file
Set the NTDYNP
parameter in the default Natural
parameter file NATPARM
to OFF
:
Specify NTDYNP OFF
, if you want to disallow
overwriting of all dynamic parameters
or specify NTDYNP OFF,FDIC
, if you want to
disallow overwriting of the Natural development server file only.
Disallow any changes to profiles by the end user.
