isCOBOL Client Listener usage
The isCOBOL Client listener is activated on the client machine with the following command:
iscclientd { [-displayport dport] } [-port port] [-x] |
• dport is the port on the client machine that will be used to communicate between the UNIX shell and the Client Listener (by default it’s 10998).
• -x is equivalent of -displayport 6000. The port 6000 is necessary to take advantage of the X11 Tunneling, explained in Configuring Putty to use isCOBOL Client Listener .
Note: In order for the -x option to work correctly, any other X11 services must be turned off. Otherwise you may experience unexpected behaviors.
• port is the port used for connecting to the isCOBOL Server (by default it’s 10999)
A correct startup will produce an output similar to this:
Starting client listener on hostname: localhost, on display port: 10998, AS port: 10999 |
The isCOBOL Client listener can be launched in the following alternate way to avoid keeping the console busy:
isclientd { [-displayport dport] } [-port port] [-x] |
Once started, the isCOBOL Client listener is identified by an icon in the system tray.
Right click on the icon to show a pop-up menu with the following options:
