COBOL Server supports Redis as a Scale-Out Repository (SOR). Redis is an open source in-memory data structure store, although there are
commercial versions available, such as Redis Enterprise. AWS also provides Elasticache for Redis which enables easy management
and maintenance of Redis instances.
COBOL Server for Windows and UNIX, ships with a version of Redis.
Note: The shipped version of Redis is for testing purpose only and is not intended for use in a production environment.
Micro Focus recommends that you deploy Redis to UNIX when being used as part of a PAC in a production environment.
To start the Redis server for Windows environments, start a
Visual COBOL
Command Prompt, and then type:
%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Micro Focus\Visual COBOL\AdoptRedis\redis-server.exe
Note: This starts the Redis server on the default port 6379.
