Lists supported and tested DBMSs along with the
features that use them.
All RDBMS testing is done on both 32- and 64-bit platforms based on RDBMS client software availability.
With regard to support for each of these third-party RDBMS supported version,
Micro Focus :
- Provides support until the standard end-of-service (EOS) date provided by the RDBMS vendor
- If your deployment requires support for a given RDBMS beyond the vendor's EOS dates, check with
SupportLine for availability of Extended Support Plus options.
- Encourages you to include third-party RDBMS consideration when planning an upgrade to your
Micro Focus product
With regard to resolving reported issues with
Micro Focus software while using a third-party RDBMS,
Micro Focus :
- Attempts to resolve issues for supported DBMSs on tested or untested platforms
- Investigates issues involving planned but not yet supported RDBMSs, and attempts to resolve non-architectural issues that
also occur in the latest supported RDBMS version
This version of
supports the following Database Management Systems:
COBSQL (Pro*COBOL)

Before deploying a COBSQL application, be sure to install and configure all applicable third-party software.
Note: COBSQL (Pro*COBOL) is supported for native COBOL only.

- XA Switch Module
- When the Enterprise Server feature is enabled, the
ODBC One-phase Commit switch module is provided and is available on the same platforms as are indicated in the
Availability section above.
The PostgreSQL switch module
(early adopter program) is available on the following platforms:
- x86-64 running Red Hat Linux
- x86-64 running SUSE Linux
- Native COBOL
-
- OpenESQL supports access to relational databases using ODBC 3.0-compliant drivers
- Refer to your driver vendor's documentation to determine whether your driver is suitable for use with OpenESQL
- JVM COBOL
- OpenESQL supports access to relational databases using JDBC 4.0-compliant JDBC drivers. The following table shows the tested
DBMSs and their corresponding JDBC driver filenames:

To use JDBC DataSource Objects, you must also install and configure a JNDI server.
- If you are using a Java application server, it includes a JNDI server you can use to configure DataSource objects. This process
is described in the Java documentation for the application server.
- If you are not using a Java application server, or if you require a standalone JNDI server to configure DataSource objects
for initial evaluation and development, see the
To install and configure Simple-JNDI topic
for instructions on downloading, installing, and configuring the open source JNDI server Simple-JNDI for this purpose.
- Testing

- Oracle 12.2 and 18c
- DB2 LUW 10.5 and 11.1
- SQL Server 2012, 2014, 2016, and 2017
