To ensure full functionality for some
COBOL Server features, you might be required to obtain and install additional third-party software in addition to the prerequisite software installed automatically by the
COBOL Server setup file. The following information specifies the third-party software required for each feature.

Note:
- On AIX and zLinux, you need to have IBM's JDK. The earliest supported release of IBM's JDK 1.7 is 7.0 Service Refresh 8. You can get IBM's AIX JDK from
IBM's Web site.
- On HP-UX, you need to have HP-UX JDK. The earliest supported release of HP-UX JDL 1.7 is Java 7.0.11. You can get the HP-UX Java JDK from
HP's Web site.
- On all other platforms, you need Oracle's JDK. The earliest supported release of Oracle's JDK 1.7 is 1.7.027. You can download Oracle's JDK from
Oracle's Web site.
Database Access
Back to Top
Before you can use
COBOL Server to deploy SQL applications developed with OpenESQL, DB2 ECM, or COBSQL, ensure any third-party software prerequisites are installed and the environment is set properly. For details, see the product help for the COBOL development system you used to develop your applications, under
Welcome > Product Information > Installing... > System Requirements... > Additional Software Requirements > Database Access.
Java Development Kit (JDK)
Back to Top
- Compiling Java
- Either the IBM or the Oracle Java Development Kit (JDK), version 1.5 or later, is required for compiling Java. The JDK is downloadable from the Oracle and IBM Web sites. After installing the JDK, you must put the
tools.jar file for the JDK on your classpath, using a command similar to:
set classpath=jdk-install-directory\lib\tools.jar
After installing the JDK, you need to set up your Java environment.
XML Extensions
Back to Top
- XML Extensions has the same requirements as
Visual COBOL. Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions are available. See the
XML Extensions for
Visual COBOL, available from the
Visual COBOL product documentation section of the
Micro Focus
SupportLine Web site for more details.
- Additionally, XML Extensions may be used in conjunction with Terminal Server.
