NaturalONE delivers a powerful, easy-to-use set of application lifecycle capabilities for current Natural users and Java\u00ae<\/sup> developers. It\u2019s well-suited for developing applications to run natively on the mainframe, Linux\u00ae,<\/sup>\u00a0and Windows\u00ae<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Java programmers will find NaturalONE appealing to use because of its familiar Graphical User Interface (GUI) and wizards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because NaturalONE is Eclipse-based, you can standardize on a single platform across all programming languages. You can efficiently cross-train personnel to deploy resources where they\u2019re most needed\u2014and at a moment\u2019s notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n NaturalONE is the default development environment for Natural. It is fully integrated with the DevOps tool chain familiar to Java developers. You\u2019ll find it easier to recruit new programmers who will appreciate NaturalONE’s collaborative DevOps support for agile development and continuous integration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Use NaturalONE as the one framework for all your application development, modernization, and management needs. You will significantly lower the time and cost of application development, maintenance, and staff training. You can develop and deploy web services faster and cut the time you spend on application maintenance! With NaturalONE, you can develop new applications and modernize existing Natural applications\u2014faster\u2014to meet changing business requirements and reduce application development costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n NaturalONE can accelerate the delivery of new applications with automatic, interactive testing and debugging tools. Open-source versioning tools enable team development, allowing developers to write, test, and execute programs independently while sharing the project’s source code in a team repository.<\/p>\n\n\n\n NaturalONE provides all maintenance and development tools, including automatic, interactive testing, debugging, and profiling in a single environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Automated processes, such as build and test, help reduce the time required to deliver corrections and new features to end users while ensuring quality. Like Java developers, you can establish and automate unit tests using open-source tools such as Jenkins\u00ae<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n NaturalONE tools, such as Profiling for runtime testing, complement the testing process and ensure that the performance of the delivered components meets business requirements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n NaturalONE provides the tools to continuously build, test, and deploy new business functions or corrections into production. This ensures that new business functions and corrections are quickly available and deployed rapidly to ensure a high-quality production environment. Close cooperation and coordination between developers and users ensures changes will be accepted, satisfying the needs of end users. With continuous delivery, you can also ensure your application quickly addresses new regulations and standards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n NaturalONE runs on Linux or Windows and, because it is based on Eclipse, integrates easily with multiple Software AG Eclipse-based tools. Since work can be executed on one platform without opening accompanying applications on the base platform, developers can collaborate and work across multiple platforms using a range of developer productivity tools from a single user interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From NaturalONE, you can use Construct, EntireX, Predict, and many other tools by remotely connecting to your mainframe, Linux, or Windows environment. For example, conduct Predict data dictionary maintenance and browse data using the integrated data browser for Natural Data Definition Modules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With NaturalONE, developers can significantly increase productivity. You can create front-end user interfaces\u2014web- and map-based\u2014and back-end business rules from within the same integrated development environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n NaturalONE also provides tools to modernize existing applications in stages. You can quickly transform existing map-based Natural applications into RIAs, with the added benefit of increased end-user acceptance and productivity. At the same time, NaturalONE retains Natural\u2019s core strength of simple coding and rapid application development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n NaturalONE includes Natural for AJAX, which allows you to quickly transform Natural applications into web-based applications without restructuring source code. With more than 50 out-of-the-box GUI controls and responsive controls, this code design tool accelerates the development of RIAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With NaturalONE, you buy time to refine your RIA by quickly meeting user demands. You can quickly make existing Natural screens available via a web browser by building web pages using an easy drag-and-drop editor. By simply saving a page layout, you automatically generate code to link the front-end web page to its back-end business logic. No training or experience needed in JavaScript\u00ae<\/sup>, HTML, or CSS!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Using new and existing Natural statements, you can quickly develop AJAX-based applications that access Adabas<\/a>, DB2\u00ae<\/sup>, VSAM, or any other Natural-supported RDBMS. Applications can be deployed on standard Java application servers, such as JBoss\u00ae<\/sup> or the WebSphere\u00ae<\/sup> platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n NaturalONE also offers an enhanced set of controls for supporting mobile devices based on \u201cresponsive design.\u201d You can provide a consistent user experience across a variety of mobile devices and different operating systems (i.e., Android\u00ae<\/sup>, iOS\u00ae<\/sup>). NaturalONE provides you with an invaluable set of tools for developing, testing, and deploying mobile apps across multiple platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can easily reuse existing Natural business logic as a service. NaturalONE is integrated with Software AG\u2019s webMethods platform\u00a0for easy development, support, and deployment of services to other environments such as Business Process Management\u00a0(BPM). Any service available inside or outside your organization can be consumed as a NaturalONE object, and you can call (bi-directional) services outside of the mainframe, Linux, and Windows environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Developers can \u201ccheck out\u201d a copy of the latest source code from the repository, and if several developers work on the same code, all changes can be preserved when the code is merged later upon \u201ccheck-in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n A developer can also create a new branch to work independently of other developers, then merge it into the master branch upon completion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With NaturalONE, all versions of the source code are kept in the repository. Older source code can be reactivated and compared to different versions to see what has really changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n NaturalONE delivers a powerful, easy-to-use set of lifecycle management tools for current Natural users and Java developers. The NaturalONE deployment procedures can be adapted to all existing lifecycle management processes in your enterprise. As all process steps in the lifecycle are documented, each step can be reproduced later and is transparent to company revisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s time to embrace NaturalONE as your one and only Natural development environment. NaturalONE is the default development environment for Natural.NaturalONE and Natural Development Server are integrated into Natural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moving to NaturalONE allows you to leverage numerous free open-source plug-ins available for Eclipse, and is very attractive to the next generation of developers, making it easier to hire new staff and motivate young developers to work with Natural. NaturalONE also enables you to harmonize application development across your entire organization, whether you are developing applications in Natural, COBOL, or Java to run natively on the mainframe, Linux, or Windows.
