PH19624: NATURAL MEMBERS CANNOT BE VIEWED WHEN ANALYSIS CLIENT IN IDZ

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• If the AD Analysis Client is installed in iDZ, and a source
  member has been downloaded from the mainframe via the Mainframe
  Agents, then a request to view source automatically attempts to
  retrieve the source from the mainframe location. This works fine
   for PDS members, or Endevor members (via use of Carma). However
   it does not work for Natural, as Natural members are stored
  within Adabas databases and manipulated within the Natural IDE.
  They are not stored in directly accessible libraries, and iDZ
  has no method to access them (Application Discovery downloads
  them from Natural via use of the Natural Batch Utility).
  Attempts to retrieve Natural members for View/Edit result in an
  error message 'Invalid entry for source <Connection Name>
  (<member name>)'.
  
  If AD Analysis Client is installed into Native Eclipse, then the
  Natural source can be viewed correctly, as the member is
  retrieved from the shared mainframe sources folder, into which
  the Natural Members are extracted and downloaded via the
  Mainframe Agents.
  

Local fix

• n/a
  

Problem summary

• Attempts to retrieve Natural members from IDZ for View/Edit
  result
  in an error message 'Invalid entry for source <Connection Name>
  (<member name>)'    as Natural members are stored within Adabas
  databases and manipulated within the Natural IDE. They are not
  stored in directly accessible libraries, and iDZ has no method
  to access them (Application Discovery downloads them from
  Natural via use of the Natural Batch Utility).
  
  
  Fix:-
  
  
  Because IDZ has no method to download Natural members from
  Adabas databases, we have modified AD to open the Natural
  members from retrieve members folder and this will be
  implemented in AD 5.1.0.5
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix
