## Establish a Connection to a Natural Development Server Environment

The following `MAP` command syntax applies if you want to establish a connection to a Natural Development Server, using the Natural command line:

`MAP ENVIRONMENT=`environment-name server-name port-name [userid [password ['parm=value;...']]

This method has the same effect as the dialog described in the section Mapping a Development Server in the Remote Development Using SPoD documentation.

`environment-name` | Alias name used for the connection. If environment-name is not specified, an alias name in the form `server(port)` will be generated. If the environment name contains blanks, it must be enclosed in single quotes ('...').
`server-name` | The name of the Natural development server on the z/OS or Linux server.
`port-name` | The TCP/IP port number of the development server.
`userid` | The user ID for access to the development server. If you enter an asterisk (*) as userid, the user ID of the client session is used.
`password` | If Natural Security is installed on the development server, specify the required password. If you enter an asterisk (*) as password, an empty password string is sent to the development server.
`parm` | If dynamic parameters are required for your development server, specify the session parameters using single quotes ('...').

To unmap a session on a Natural Development Server, you can use the `UNMAP` command.

## Establish a Connection to a Natural Application

The following `MAP` command syntax applies if you want to establish a connection to a Natural application, using the Natural command line:

`MAP APPLICATION=`application-name [userid [password]

This method has the same effect as the dialog described in the section Mapping and Unmapping Applications in the Remote Development Using SPoD documentation. For information on the term "Natural Application", refer to the Natural Single Point of Development documentation.

`application-name` | The name of the application.
`userid` | The user ID for access to the application. If you enter an asterisk (*) as userid, the user ID of the client session is used.
`password` | If Natural Security is installed on the development server, specify the required password. If you enter an asterisk (*) as password, an empty password string is sent to the development server.

To unmap an application on a Natural Development Server, you can use the `UNMAP` command or the dialog described in the section Mapping and Unmapping Applications.
