Just digging in to Relativity and finding access via connection string is very good, but access via SQL linked server is slow. Any suggestions? I basically take about 20 files and put all the data on to our Internet box into sql tables (so I do a full insert every 20 minutes into one of two different warehouses to make the SQL files almost "live").I have tried using OpenQuery and also 4 part naming but the times are very sluggish. Starting to learn about query plan - anyone have some past experience to share to help bring me up to speed more quickly?  Thanks.#RelativitySpeed

Hi, I am using a batch to compile my Cobol programs to create dll/ exe.  I have also created a cobol.dir file for some compiler directives options and kept the 'COBOL.dir' at certain location. In the batch I am providing the statement SET COBDIR ='Location of COBOL.dir' but this statement does not work and I am unable to use the modified COBOL.dir. If I put the COBOL.dir in the current directory where the dll and exe are created it works fine. I cannot put the directory file at current location and I have to use the specified location only. can any of you please help me if I am missing anything? Thanks Anand

Problem: In runtime version Server 2.1 Update 1 and earlier, it was possible to perform an independent installation for the Liense Server, by extracing it from the installation file using the -ExtractCab switch. In version 2.2 this switch is no longer available, so how is this performed with version 2.2? Resolution: Attached to this article is an archive called "6644.dark.zip". This utility is part of the WiX toolset, which can be used to create MSI’s and wrapper EXE’s. Decompress the attached zip and run, for example:  >dark.exe -x d:\\decomp cs2010_22.exe where: d:\\decomp is the folder where you want the files extracted to. cs2010_22.exe is the "Cobol Server 2.2 for Visual Studio 2010" software executable. Inside d:\\decomp, is an ‘AttachedContainer’ folder which in turn has the various MSI’s and pre-requisite EXE’s.  The license server installation softwa

When I install IBM DB2 Express-C on Red Hat Enterprise.  there is a COBOL samples folder for Micro Focus COBOL. I try to go through each application and try to learn Micro Focus COBOL. Most of them is easy for me to understand what it tries to demonstrate and how it runs. But this one really puzzles me: outsrv.sqb  is COBOL DB2 stored procedure.  outcli.sqb  is COBOL application to call outsrv I compiled both them successfully.   and run outcli successfully.  But how outcli can call outsrv through DB2 successfully without creating DB2 stored procedure on "outsrv" routine? outcli.sqb   source is online https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPGG_10.5.0/com.ibm.db2.luw.apdv.sample.doc/doc/cobol/s-outcli-sqb.html outsrv.sqb   source is online www.ibm.com/.../s-outsrv-sqb.html The README document in the sample folder says -- no need to create DB2 stored procedure for "outsrv" on DB2 server! I do not understand but I ran succe

Hi,  In most of the example i found that Winform is loaded from the main programs and on the events of the Controls ( Like Button) call to COBOL program or the invoking of obj for COBOL class is made. here we can pass the values between the Form and Cobol by using reference in procedure division. Can we call a Winform from the COBOL class or program and how would we pass the values between them ? Below is the code where in i want to load the Cobol Class first and then invoke Winform inside it and then access the values of the Form control from the COBOL Class?  Class: class-id CircleWithMessageBox.Main. method-id Main static attribute System.STAThread. local-storage section. 01 mainForm type CircleWithMessageBox.Form1. procedure division. set mainForm to new CircleWithMessageBox.Form1() invoke type System.Windows.Forms.Application::Run(mainForm) goback. end method. end class. Form code: $set sourceformat(free) preservecase ilusing(System.Windows.Forms) class-id CircleWith

We have encountered a really odd problem on 2 customer systems (out of 200 ).  We are using Acu Extend 9.1.1 with AcuServer.  AcuServer is loaded on a GoDaddy server and services requests from all 200 customer systems.  GoDaddy server is set up with a DNS name (through dyn.org), and also a static IP address. Symptoms at one customer site this morning: We address the file as @dnsname:C:\\path\\filename.DAT.  This is actually hard-coded in our program, and works fine from 199 of our customer sites.  However, at this one site, the C$PING works fine (returns a return code of 0).  The file in filename.dat is defined as OPTIONAL - when we open that file for input, we get a file status 05 back - indicating the file wasn't found, but was created.  Subsequent reads return file status 23 (correctly, since no records are found). The file is already present at @dnsname:C:\\path\\filename.DAT, and doesn't get created.  In fact, if we check the AcuSe

Hi all, We have a c$system call with CSYS-DESKTOP, CSYS-SHELL, CSYS-HIDDEN flags and returning an EXIT-STATUS. With Windows 7, EXIT-STATUS works as expected, but not with Windows 10 (it returns a totally irrelevant value). Cobol version is 8.1.0. Is there any solution? Regards Th.
