Does ConnectWare support Micro Focus Fileshare?

 

ConnectWare does support Micro Focus Fileshare. ConnectWare uses the Micro Focus File Handler and represents for Fileshare nothing else but a COBOL program. This means as soon as your COBOL applications work together with Fileshare, ConnectWare also is running properly in this environment.

 

Description:

Mainly, two points need to be considered:

1. Switch on the Micro Focus Fileshare Support:

Start the configuration tool from the PARKWAY program group and choose the register card „Micro Focus“. This register card contains the Micro Focus Fileshare V2 support:

By choosing this option, ConnectWare is initiated to use an access modul which additionally contains the communication components for the Fileshare V2 server instead of using the local Micro Focus data access modul (which can only access to a local or if assigned by a corresponding server software, to an external drive.)

2. Use of the Fileshare server

When creating a data source the Filshare server must be used:

Under "path" enter the name of the Fileshare server e.g. $$FSSERVER\C:\DATA

 

Fileshare is a Micro Focus product. More informationen about installation und configuration can be found in the product documentation.
