Question:

Can we run a program in server 1 and update the data to database sitting on server 2?

Answer:

Yes!
If you are accessing an RDBM you can use the iscobol.jdbc.url property to point to the data server.
For instance, your url to connect to a SQL Server database on server 2 might look like this:

   iscobol.jdbc.url=
   jdbc:sqlserver://server2-ip-address:1433;user=sa;password=sa;encrypt=false;DatabaseName=master

• Start the File Server on server 2.
  Your command might look like this:

     iscserver -fs -hostname server2-ip-address
  

• Set the iscobol.file.prefix property using remote isf protocol.
  The setting might look like this:

  iscobol.file.prefix=isf://server-ip-address:/path/to/data
