Run-time Launch Configuration File Options

Create an appropriately named text file, specifying the following run-time and licensing options (one valid option per line), then deploy it to the same directory as your application.

Option	Description
Run-time options
set SERVERPATH=`path-name`	Specifies the name of the directory containing a COBOL Server installation that is to be used by the application executable. `path-name` can be either an absolute or UNC path, or a path relative to the current directory. Only specify this option if the executable is built using dynamic linking. Run-time options are optional, but if set, only one option (SERVERPATH or BINPATH) may be specified.
set BINPATH=`path-name`	Specifies the name of the directory containing the binary run-time files that are to be used by the application executable. `path-name` can be either an absolute or UNC path, or a path relative to the current directory. Only specify this option if the executable is built using dynamic linking. Run-time options are optional, but if set, only one option (SERVERPATH or BINPATH) may be specified.
Licensing options
set CESDYNAMIC=`file-name`	Note: This is optional, but if specified, it must appear after any entry for SERVERPATH or BINPATH. Specifies the name of a CES configuration file (usually named CES.INI), which is used to initialize the licensing daemon, if it is not already running. If this option is not specified, the licensing daemon must already be installed and running on this machine. If `file-name` includes a directory name, the CES configuration file in that directory is used. If `file-name` does not include a specific directory then, if either SERVERPATH or BINPATH is specified, the CES configuration file should be located on the specified path (for BINPATH) or the bin or bin64 directory on the specified path (for SERVERPATH). In all other cases, the CES configuration file should be in the same directory as the main application executable. When specifying this option, the files mfcesd.exe (the Micro Focus licensing daemon) and mfcesdchk.exe (which checks if the Micro Focus licensing daemon is running) are also required. On a machine with licensing already installed, these can be found in the following locations: 32-bit Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\SafeNet Sentinel\Sentinel RMS License Manager\WinNT 64-bit Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\SafeNet Sentinel\Sentinel RMS License Manager\WinNT Deploy these files to one of the following locations: In a directory that is already on the system PATH when the application is executed. The bin (for a 32-bit application) or bin64 (for a 64-bit application) directory of the COBOL Server installation specified by SERVERPATH. The directory specified by BINPATH.
