In the so-called Natural server mode, you edit a Natural object directly on a mapped Natural server. See also Different Modes for Developing Natural Applications in the Introduction.
If you choose to work in Natural server mode, you use the Natural Server view to edit your Natural objects. You can also check, stow, catalog and execute Natural objects in this view. If you are working in parallel with other developers on the same library, the possibility to unlock locked objects may also be helpful for you.
Important:
Keep in mind that the preferred way for developing or
maintaining Natural applications is working in
local mode (not in
Natural server mode). This means that the entire project has been offloaded
from the Natural server to the Eclipse workspace. If you have chosen to work in
local mode, the Natural Server view is only required if
you want to download libraries and
objects to your Eclipse workspace. See Working with Natural Projects in Local
Mode for further information.
