Getting Started With Adabas & Natural Part 4
Accessing Adabas Database using Adabas TCP-IP Node Package
In Part 2, users/developers learned two approaches to access Adabas database i.e classic access and map access. Both approaches require the understanding of REST architecture and its related programming works. To hide the complexity of REST, Software AG provides an alternative approach i.e. simpler CRUD access using NodeJS, a type of JavaScript language (https://www.npmjs.com/package/adabas-tcp). This approach provides a faster way to connect and work with Adabas database.
This part is about using Natural ONE IDE to code NodeJS in order to connect and work with Adabas database. Details about getting Natural ONE IDE and setting it up on local host can be read in Part 1 i.e Download, Unzip and Run Natural ONE IDE. Read here, to download and install NodeJS.
Run Natural ONE IDE (Version ONE.9.1.4.CE).
Enter a workspace name e.g. “workspace1011nodejs”. Click “Launch”.
