How do I set up isCOBOL Server (Application Server) and Thin Client?

Start the server using one of the following command lines:

iscserver -port port -hostname server 
java com.iscobol.as.AppServerImpl -port port -hostname server 

-port and -hostname are optional.

Start the client using one of the following command lines:

isclient -port port -hostname server MYAPPMAIN
iscclient -port port -hostname server MYAPPMAIN
java com.iscobol.gui.client.Client -port port -hostname server MYAPPMAIN

To get information about the server startup and client connections, add the following to your properties file used for server startup:

iscobol.as.logging=true
iscobol.as.logfile=/home/homedir/iscobol.as.logfile.txt
iscobol.as.authentication=0
(Replace the text "/home/homedir/iscobol.as.logfile.txt" above with the filename of your choice.)


If you want to "ping" or get other information about the server from the client you can run:
iscclient -info -port port -hostname server
or
java com.iscobol.gui.client.Client -hostname server -port port ASA$INFO
