Milestone 14: Enabling natural support

If your site is not using—and does not plan to use—Xchange's Natural support, you may skip this milestone and continue with Milestone-15-Enabling-COPE-logical-system-support.

This milestone configures Xchange to support the Natural application development and deployment environment from Software AG.

The roles involved are Xchange Installer.

Task 14.1: Enable Natural Support

To provide support for Natural date/time requests, Xchange supplies its own version of the Natural CMCOTIME exit. The Xchange version of the CMCOTIME exit must be linked into the Natural nucleus and enabled as follows:

  1. The Xchange version of the CMCOTIME exit is named XGCOTIME and is located in the CPWR.MLXGnnn.SLXGLOAD library. As shown in the following figure, an INCLUDE card pointing to the Xchange load library and the XGCOTIME member is required for the re-linking of the Natural nucleus.

    //  JCL required
    //    to re-link the
    //      Natural nucleus
    //XGLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=CPWR.MLXGnnn.SLXGLOAD
    //SYSIN DD *
      INCLUDE XGLIB(XGCOTIME)
      (REST OF THE LINK EDIT CARDS
       TO RE-LINK THE NATURAL NUCLEUS)
  2. Set the Natural TD parameter to TD=0.
