How to list DDMs from NaturalOne with Docker

Hi,
recently i am testing Natural/ADABAS Docker version and i can’t find a way to list VEHICLES DDM from demo DB12. In Hello World sample i found EMPLOYEES but not other.
In ADABAS Manager i can see without problems her FDT, but no the long name of the fields i need to code Natural. I try to enter Predict but i dont know how from NaturalOne or ADABAS Manager

The VEHICLES DDM is not provided in ONE913CE. (Neither is Predict.)

If you have access to Natural for Linux/Unix/Windows, then you can extract the DDM from there and import it into ONE. Or you can create a new DDM manually in ONE (while viewing the mainframe version, for example).

If I’m trying docker version its because i dont have access to mainframe or similar.

Please, someone could help me sharing here a .ZIP file with BD12 DDMs?

Sorry I don’t have a working NaturalONE or docker version available, so I’m a little fuzzy on the details. But the old PC-based NaturalONE CE installation included the VEHICLES DDM under a subdirectory natrun/FNAT/SYSEXDDM/SRC. I suspect that this directory is now on the Natural server docker container. You might be able to browse through it directly with docker commands, or I believe there is an Import or Load or Copy option within NaturalONE that will let you browse for and load DDMs into your NaturalONE source library (under the Navigator pane).

If that doesn’t work, I’ll paste in a copy of the VEHICLES src you can use to enter with the DDM editor.

Now that George has provided a DDM extract

  • save it to your Desktop directory, or anywhere you prefer in your file system, as a text file called VEHICLES.NSD
  • on the ONE menu bar, click File , then click Import …
  • expand General, then double-click File System
  • click Browse for the From directory, then select the directory containing the DDM extract (e.g. C:\Users\you to select Desktop), then click Select Folder
  • select VEHICLES.NSD from the list box
  • Click Browse for the Into folder, then select the Natural library in which to save the DDM (e.g. YOUR-PROJECT/Natural-Libraries/YOUR-LIB), then click Finish

The DDM source will now be found in your chosen library. Compile (Build) it for use by the Data Browser or your own programs.

Note that the DDM has its DB set to zero, so you will need to point to a database at execution time.
