Rocket® Enterprise Suite

I just installed Rocket Software Enterprise Developer Version 11 and need to obtain the default password for the SYSAD user. Following the suggestion on the ESCWA login screen:"The SYSAD user has been created with a generated password.To determine the password, run:"mfsecretsadmin read microfocus/temp/admin"" I ran the command, but the password it returned is invalid. Does anyone know what I can do?

On a Rocket Enterprise Server 11 installed on a Windows 11 system, I created a test region (using the JCL template) and associated a project with it. I started the region and received the following error:JES000011E Batch Spool File Error; SPLJOB Status Open I/OCASSI9012E JCL support failed to start. Error returned from casspool, RC=0012Does anyone know where I should define the spool file path?

I'm trying to download the PDF documentation for "Enterprise Developer 11.0 for Eclipse (Windows)"https://docs.rocketsoftware.com/es-ES/bundle/enterprisedevelopereclwin_ug_110/page/yos1742952172927.htmlHowever, I get the following message: "Your PDF is being generated. Please leave this browser open until your PDF has downloaded."But the download doesn't start.Does anyone have an alternative link where I can download the documentation in PDF format?Thanks.

We are running Enterprise Developer 10.0 that accesses a SQL server database from CICS via an ODBC XA Resource.  We are experiencing long standing schema modification locks (LCK_M SCH_M) in SQL Server coming from the Rocket server through MSDTC.  Currently the only way we know to resolve is to stop/start MSDTC on the database server.  Is there any documentation on configuration options (either the Rocket or SQL servers) that we can review to help resolve these locks?

Where and how do I specify the startup transaction for a CICS region when coming in through a TN3270 terminal emulator?  

Read this brochure to get a deep, technical look at how Rocket® Enterprise Suite enables low‑risk, incremental modernization of business‑critical mainframe applications—without the disruption of full rewrites. This document breaks down modernization strategies across infrastructure, process, and application layers, showing how teams can leverage APIs, automation, managed code models, and web services to extend and evolve existing COBOL‑based systems while preserving core logic and stability. You’ll also gain insight into why continuous modernization (“Infinite Flow”) is now the proven, analyst‑endorsed approach for reducing risk and accelerating delivery in complex enterprise environments. Read the full document here. 

Does anyone have document on  Best Practices and guidelines for Upgrading Enterprise developer and Enterprise server from one version to a newer version??

Visma Enterprise, a leading provider of HR and payroll solutions for over 250,000 citizens and 1,500 employers, faced challenges with its COBOL-based application environment, including:Limited release frequency (monthly) Manual CI/CD processes Difficulty sourcing COBOL expertiseTo address these issues, Visma partnered with Rocket Software to modernize its infrastructure by:Replatforming COBOL applications to AWS without rewriting Migrating the database to Microsoft SQL Server Automating CI/CD pipelinesThe modernization project was completed in nine months, delivering significant benefits:50% reduction in infrastructure costs Increased release frequency from monthly to weekly 64% improvement in developer engagementThis case demonstrates how organizations can achieve modernization without disruption, leveraging existing COBOL investments while adopting cloud technologies.Read the full case study, here:https://www.rocketsoftware.com/en-us/case-studies/visma-enterprise 

Rocket has an Enterprise Analyzer Certified Professional - L4XX training course. The start of the course has a hands-on lab for installing a demo workspace. Task 2 step 5 is to “Add sources manually”; the screenshot in step 7 shows this being done from C:\EA Sources\BankDemo\sources, but as far as I can tell, this is not installed with Enterprise Analyzer. (There are some demo files it puts in every workspace but not the full demo.So where is someone taking the class supposed to get the demo files?The training videos several time to go to the “attachment tab”. There is no attachment tab in the training site, as far as I can find. Nor anywhere else with downloads.I happen to have a .zip file with what I think you need, but only due to another case I had with Rocket.My question is: Where is someone taking the class supposed to get the demo sources from? Is this something that was lost in the migration from Open Text to Rocket?

I have @1000 VSAM files all of which hold the same data for different product types.  The first part of the name of the file indicates the product type. For example:   Product1 filename is FD0001.PRODUCT.INFO, Product2 filename is FD0002.PRODUCT.INFO.   These files are to be read by a Cobol program that populates the "FDnnnn" part of the filename.  Is there a way to have only one VSAM file definition in the JCL stream and query the JES catalog to get the right file, or some other way to avoid having a DD statement for all 1000 files?------------------------------Bruce CheatwoodBWXTLynchburg VA US------------------------------

E. Miroglio, a global leader in textiles with operations across Europe and Asia, faced major challenges with an aging, costly, and inflexible application environment. Their IT team struggled with:5,000 daily batch jobs requiring manual intervention Limited flexibility for innovation High infrastructure costsTo overcome these hurdles, E. Miroglio partnered with Rocket Software to modernize their platform using Rocket® Enterprise Server. The transformation included:Migrating to a flexible x86-based Linux platform with zero downtime Reusing over 12,000 COBOL programs Converting UNIX shell scripts back to JCL for easier managementResults:90% performance improvement in some departments 50% faster batch processing 50% infrastructure cost savingsThis case study is a great example of modernization without disruption, proving that legacy systems can evolve to meet today’s business demands.Read the full case study here 

Hi,I'm testing the IMS sample application because I need a reference for a client's configuration. I follow the procedure described in the manual, which requires all fields to be ASCII, but when I enter MFDEMO, the fields coming from the program aren't ASCII. I debugged the program, and they are ASCII. I'm attaching a screenshot of what I see. Can you help me? What am I doing wrong?Thank you very much.

Where can I find documentation on how to configure where EXEC CICS WRITEQ data is stored?

COBOL remains a cornerstone of global business operations powering 70% of the world's business transaction processing across industries such as banking, insurance, travel, retail, and government. However, running COBOL that has not been modernized – combined with outdated engineering tools and practices – can slow innovation, increase operational risk, and expose systems to today's security threats. Organizations with COBOL at their core can no longer afford to operate on outdated applications and systems or take unnecessary, expensive risks with application rewrite projects.  However, for many people, COBOL's reputation is clouded by a number of persistent myths and misunderstandings – even those familiar with COBOL may still judge it based on how it looked and operated over 30 years ago. Join us for a LinkedIn Live event on COBOL modernization without myths and outdated perception. Learn why COBOL remains vital to global businesses and how Rocket Software products enable modernizatio
