NaturalONE Test Drive

NaturalONE Test Drive
Objective
At the end of this Test Drive, you will be able to:
Get an understanding
OPTIMIZE of Eclipse IDE
How to set up NaturalONE preferences and properties
Understand NaturalONE perspectives and views
Understand how to use NaturalONE editors
Green screen editor comparisons
Use the NaturalONE Debugger

1. As you can see we are now in the
NaturalONE perspective. On the left is our
Navigator and Natural Server views. Below is
our Console, Problems and Tasks views. Too
2. Click on here to Map a our left is the Outline, Dependencies and
Natural Server Environment Properties views

1. You can now see that the map has
opened in the editor. Also shows how
multiple objects can be open at one time
5. Click X to close map
2. Use Outline view to go to field #TITLE within

map. Notice how #TITLE is highlighted in map
4. Show passive cross references callers.

Highlights forward and backward dependencies
3. Notice the properties view shows all

properties for field #TITLE and this is where
you would make changes or add new properties

zIIP Enabler for Natural

zIIP Enabler for Natural (NAZ)
What is zIIP?
What is zIIP Enabler for Natural?
OPTIMIZE

What is zIIP Enabler for Natural?
Automatically offloads maximum eligible Natural batch to zIIP
New addon available now with Natural 4.2 SP6, SP7 and 8.2
zIIP Natural Batch offload is influenced by many factors such as

Structure of batch applications (I/O operations cant run on zIIP,
for example)
Available zIIP capacity (which other software competes for zIIP
capacity)
The zIIP Enabler for Natural moves real work to the zIIP processors in
that non-I/O Batch Natural can be executed in its entirety in the zIIP
processors.
Testing results show very broad offload variance (20% 70%)
zIIP Enabler for Natural (NAZ)
Lessons learnt and still learning
ROI very difficult to ascertain
What Natural batch CPU reduction means to prospect?
If we reduceOPTIMIZE
Natural Batch something else not far behind
becomes pig
How is prospect billed? Now, Future and Cross Charging
Approach used here in the USA

SMF data analysis
What we learn from SMF data?
Thank you!
