The SPoD client, aka “NATURAL Studio”, requires a counterpart on the mainframe (or midrange) system, the NDV (SPoD) server.

Once the server is up and running one connects to it via

Tools → Map → Environment

this is where the hostname (or IP address) and port number are entered.

You also have to mark “Natural Development Client (SPoD)” when installing Natural Studio on your pc.

You should have Natural Development Server installed on Mainframe/Unix to access thru Natural SPoD. If you dont have NDV Server installed on the server machine, you cant access thru SPoD.
