To set up an application with a shared Enterprise Server
Note: The following applies to native COBOL only.
- Install Enterprise Server.
- Install your application executable files in a separate directory from Enterprise Server.
- If your application is linked with dynamic binding to the run-time system, create
a shortcut pointing to the application. We recommend a shortcut in preference to adding
the Enterprise Server directory to the user's path, so that you avoid interactions with other COBOL applications.
If your application is not linked with dynamic binding, set the PATH on the end-users' machines to point to Enterprise Server, using the following command:
path = app-server-dir;%PATH%
where r:\app-server-dir is the directory where Enterprise Server is installed. If you specify a directory containing spaces, you must use quotes ("") to delimit the data values. For example:
path = "r:\application directory";%PATH%
