The architecture of Natural for DL/I involves several key components. The Natural runtime environment provides the execution platform for Natural programs. The DL/I interface acts as a bridge between Natural and the IMS database.
The IMS database itself stores and manages the data. Communication between the Natural program and the IMS database occurs via the DL/I protocol. The Natural program issues commands like `FIND`, `GET`, `UPDATE`, `DELETE`, and `STORE`.
These commands are translated by the DL/I interface into the appropriate DL/I calls. Configuration involves defining database access parameters in Natural's system files and using DL/I control blocks. The Natural system files store information about the IMS databases and segments.
DL/I control blocks are used to define the database structure and access methods. Security is handled by the IMS and CICS environments, which provide authentication, authorization, and auditing capabilities. The product does not expose any specific APIs.
The main network requirement is connectivity to the IMS database.
