Frequently Asked Questions

Software AG no longer offers official maintenance for those platforms, but your operation remains critical. Nacarsoft fills that gap with 24x7 support for Natural, Adabas, Net-Work, CONNX and EntireX, and advises on planning an orderly migration to Linux or Windows without disrupting service continuity.

With CONNX Data Integration Suite, Adabas files are exposed as relational schemas accessible via ODBC and JDBC, without replicating data or altering transactional systems. The Adabas REST API can also integrate data from any language or cloud service.

A full rehosting: data and library transfer, EBCDIC/ASCII conversion with the right code page, JCL transformation into Shell/Python scripts and validation of all application logic. The result is an open, flexible platform with drastically lower operating costs.

Yes. With Natural Web I/O, from version 8 your Natural applications run in any browser with no additional license cost and no SSH access. Modern web interfaces and the Adabas REST API can also be added without rewriting business logic.

With utilities such as nsada2file, which reads Adabas files in exclusive read-only, non-blocking mode: it extracts records selectively to CSV, JSON, XML or other formats without generating locks or interfering with production processes. It is the safe way to feed reporting and analytics from critical data.

Using Adabas native backup and restore utilities, a complete policy can be defined: backups with retention, off-site copies and restore procedures tested periodically with measured recovery times (RTO). Our administration service implements and verifies it.

It is the movement of objects or applications between environments (development, testing, production). Without control, a manual transfer can break dependencies or versions. The right practice automates and audits every deployment with full traceability, as our NSDeploy platform does.

Full management of your Natural/Adabas environments on Linux, AIX, HP-UX or Solaris: database administration (space, security, backups, tuning), file creation and reorganization, proactive 24x7 monitoring and incident resolution, regardless of your location.

It depends on the platform, the number of environments and the required service level. We recommend an initial assessment of your environment: inventory, dependencies and risk points, to size the service and budget with real data and no commitment.
