Product Overview

The architecture of Natural Advanced Facilities comprises several key components. The Natural runtime environment is the core, providing the execution environment for Natural applications. The print spooler interface manages the interaction with the mainframe's print spooler, such as JES2 or POWER.

Printer drivers translate the output into formats compatible with the target printers. Communication between these components occurs through the mainframe's internal communication mechanisms. The system does not use external databases or storage mechanisms for print jobs.

Configuration files are used to define printers, output formats, and other settings. The `PRINT` command is the primary interface for initiating print jobs. The system does not expose external APIs.

The system does not have specific port requirements, as it operates within the mainframe environment. The system supports plain text, and formatted reports. The system does not use external databases or storage mechanisms for print jobs.
