- Edit the
mf-client.dat file, located in the
\bin directory by default, to add the location of your remote enterprise server. Use the following syntax:
mrpi://{IPaddress | hostname}:port
Where
IPaddress is the IP address for the remote machine,
hostname is the machine name of the remote machine (use one or the other), and
port is the port number. For example, the following is an excerpt from
mf-client.dat that shows the default server specification, and the addition of one remote server specification:
[directories]
; Point MFCC to local default MFDS. The port specification ":0" means MRPI
; will first look for the CCITCP2_PORT environment variable for the port to
; connect to. If that's not set, it will try to look up the "mfcobol"
; service name in the /etc/services (%WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\services
; on Windows), and use that port. If that's not found either, it will use
; the official Micro Focus directory port, which is 86.
mrpi://127.0.0.1:0
mrpi://105.1.168.92:86
Note: Before making changes to
mf-client.dat, we recommend that you copy the file to an alternative location. After updating the file, set the MFC_CONFIG environment
variable to point to the new location.
- In the
Server Explorer, right-click
, and select
from the context menu.
- In the
field, type the number of the port you want to use (default is
86); then click
.
Important: After deploying to a remote UNIX server, you must then compile the service driver program on the target UNIX machine:
- Log on to the target machine.
- Go to the package path folder. If you are using a telnet session originating from your development machine, you can paste
the package path from the clipboard.
- Compile the service driver source using the
cobol command.
