This document covers the following topics:
The following Software AG products must be installed on the server:
Natural Development Server (NDV)*.
Natural ISPF (ISP) 8.2 or above.
System Automation Tools (SAT)*.
Entire System Server (NPR)*.
Natural for Mainframes (NAT)**, including the Entire System Server Interface (ESX). See Installing the Entire System Server Interface in the Installation documentation which is provided with Natural for Mainframes.
* The required version of Natural Development Server, System Automation Tools and Entire System Server depends on the installed Natural version. See the Release Notes which are provided with Natural for Mainframes.
** The required Natural version depends on the Natural ISPF version running on your system.
If using Natural Roll Server, the minimum roll slot size for Roll Server must be 300KB.
You install Mainframe Navigation together with NaturalONE, using the Software AG Installer. Mainframe Navigation is part of NaturalONE's optional Mainframe Tools component.
There is no special installation required. Make sure that the products listed under Prerequisites are installed on the mainframe server.
If you want to access multiple Entire System Servers with the same
SYSESM2 parameter file, you can use the dynamic parameter
DFS to overwrite the settings in the parameter file, for
example, DFS=(ESM62SRV,BKR062,L). For further information on the
DFS parameter, see the Parameter
Reference in the Natural for Mainframes documentation.
When all required products are installed on the mainframe server, you must define all Entire System Server nodes you wish to access with Mainframe Navigation. This is done with Natural ISPF. For detailed information, refer to the section System Configuration > Entire System Server Node Table in the Natural ISPF Administration Guide.
Ensure that the Entire System Server node table has been edited
(at least a minor modification) and saved (command
END). Example:
---------------------------- UPDATE NODES TABLE -------------------------------
COMMAND ===>
Node Description Name
----- -------------------- ----
___69 E-machine(Prod) MVS_ DAEE
__148 F-machine(Dev.) MVS_ DAEF
__248 A-machine(Demo) MVS_ DAEA
50013 Test MVS____________ ESY5999 ENTI NOT ACTIVE
__194 OSD5 SI15___________ 7.500-S115-2
__193 VSE X-machine_______ VSE.ESA.SUPX
55521 Test VSE____________ VSE.ESA.TEST

Ensure that the access to all nodes is active and works without any warnings (for example, ESY5…) when saving the nodes table.
Make sure that Natural ISPF is configured correctly on your mainframe server:
Ensure that the installed subsystems are defined in the
configuration member CONFIG: your site's operating systems,
Natural and System Automation Tools (SAT).
For detailed information, refer to the section System Configuration > Editing the Configuration Member CONFIG > Defining Installed Subsystems in the Natural ISPF Administration Guide.
Ensure that the authorization table of the user who should use
Mainframe Navigation has a defined status (compare the Auth
attribute in the Defined Characteristics column). This can
be done by defining the authorization table for the user explicitly, or it can
be inherited from a prefix definition, from a (Natural Security-based) user
group definition or from the default user definition (which is indicated by an
asterisk (*)).
For detailed information, refer to the section User Definitions in the Natural ISPF Administration Guide.
