Introduction

Servers are the top-level object that the Directory Server controls. There are two types of server:

• Micro Focus enterprise server

  This is a server that provides an execution environment for COBOL, CICS and JCL programs running in response to service requests issued by several different client types.

  For more information about enterprise servers see the chapter Introduction.

  For information about how to debug applications deployed to Server Enterprise Edition, see your COBOL development system documentation.

• Micro Focus CCI Server

  This is a server that provides services using the Micro Focus Common Communications Interface (CCI), using the Directory Server as a name server instead of registering with a CCITCP2 process. You cannot create new CCI servers or change their status. If a CCI server is running on the same network as the Directory Server and if it has been configured to use Directory Server as a naming service, it will simply appear in the table of servers with the status "Registered" when it is running. It will remove itself from the table when it stops. For more information about CCI, see your Configuring CCI book.

The server can be configured to either a 32 or 64-bit working mode. You can only run applications on an enterprise server where the working mode of the application and server match.

Your responsibilities as administrator include:

• Adding, updating and deleting servers as required
• Starting and stopping servers
• Monitoring the status of servers and investigating any problems
