You upgrade existing distributed applications created with
Server Express to
Visual COBOL for Eclipse.
Similarly, you upgrade mainframe applications created with
Studio Enterprise Edition (UNIX) to
Enterprise Developer.
The
Enterprise Developer suite includes the following two independent products that are designed to be used together for maximizing the developers' productivity:
- Micro Focus Enterprise Developer UNIX Components is the counterpart of Server Express and must be installed on the machine that has your application sources.
- Enterprise Developer for Eclipse provides a rich and highly effective integrated development environment that can be connected to
Micro Focus Enterprise Developer UNIX Components to enable you to edit, build and debug the applications' sources directly on the remote machine.
Note: The process of upgrading
Server Express and
Studio Enterprise Edition (UNIX) is very similar. Therefore, references to
Visual COBOL for Eclipse and
Visual COBOL Development Hub apply equally to
Enterprise Developer for Eclipse and
Enterprise Developer UNIX Components, respectively.
The following sections provide information on how to upgrade.
