CICS IA Natural support

With CICS® IA, you can gather CICS resource information for COBOL, PL/I, and Assembler language programs called from within a Software AG Natural program.

Additionally, with CICS IA you can gather detailed information on both Adabas calls and Natural program calls from Natural applications running in the Software AG Natural environment. In this way, you can identify Adabas resources used by Natural applications and Natural program relationships. You can use the Natural Resource Options to control the collection data on Adabas calls and Natural program calls as described in the Changing the Collector options.

CICS IA Natural support runs as an exit to the Natural Review Data Collector. Both the Natural Review Data Collector and the CICS IA Natural support exit must be link-edited into a Natural Shared Nucleus (NSN). The CICS IA Natural support exit is a TP-specific module for the CICS environment, and must be included as part of a Single-Environment Shared Nucleus for CICS. Refer to the Natural Operations Manual for more information regarding the Natural Shared Nucleus, TP-specific modules, and Single-Environment Shared Nuclei.

The installation of Natural Support will not change the structure of the data interfaces to CICS IA. However, the content of the data collected will change in that the name of the Natural nucleus will be replaced by the name of the Natural program that is currently executing.
