The mfserver module is provided in .int code format so that it can be run as it is or generated into .gnt code.
If you have a UNIX system running Micro Focus COBOL 3.2 or later, you can move the .int module to your UNIX system and link it with other programs to create an executable module.
The mfclient and mfserver modules are run as standard COBOL programs, with both the client and server components started manually.
To run the Client/Server Binding, first start the server program, then start the client program.
Windows:
The command line to start the server program on Windows is:
run mfserver [-b] [-p protocol] [-s server-name] [-v]
UNIX:
and on UNIX:
cobrun mfserver [-b] [-p protocol] [-s server-name] [-v]
where:
-b | Allows you to run the server as a background process. On UNIX systems, the command line should be terminated with the '&' character. Any error messages produced by the server will be stored in the log file (mfclisrv.log). |
-p protocol | Specifies the communications protocol. |
-s server-name | Indicates a server-name other than the default (mfclisrv). |
-v | Displays the mfserver version number. |
The command line to start the client program is:
run program-name [config-filename]
where:
