We use the RESTART= parameter in JCL to do restarts, does this work in Enterprise Server?  I see that ES has command line options to control RESTART, but is the JCL parameter supported?#EnterpriseServer

I can't find any documentation on how to suspend (quiesce) a running JCL Batch job in Enterprise Server and then subsequently resume the same job.  Is there a way to do this?#EnterpriseServer

What is the mf370ctl configuration file and why are some files not redirected by it? In the documentation it mentions using a configuration file named “mf370ctl” (the MFASM Configuration File) for configuring ASSEMBLER project file locations. You can use a MF370CTL.CFG file to maintain a project's variables in one place. The mf370ctl configuration file can be used to define a project’s structure. For example: SYSLIN=.\\DEBUG SYSLIST=.\\LISTING SYSLMOD=.\\DEBUG By default, this configuration file is located in the %ProgramFiles(x86)%\\Micro Focus\\Enterprise Developer\\bin directory, but can be placed in the Visual Studio’s working directory (or, what some refer to as the “base folder” for the project”. But it will be noted that not all files are redirected by this file; they are left in the project folder. Here are a couple, and why: The

This issue was discovered under Windows. Under ED 6.0, the documented port to use for ESCWA is 10086. However, for ED 6.0 PU01 and ED 6.0 PU02, if port 10086 is used, a page will come up displaying an error (it will differ by browser).  Examples: Under Chrome: “This site can’t be reached localhost refused to connect. Try:   Checking the connection Checking the proxy and the firewall ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED”    Under Firefox: " Unable to connect Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at localhost:10086     The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.     If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.     If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that

Problem: Compiler error COBES0100 : DB2 Parser error: Syntax error near.... is occurring when the optional INTO or FROM keywords are omitted from EXEC SQL INSERT and EXEC SQL DELETE statements.  Solution: In later versions of Enterprise Developer like 5.0, the SQL directive STRICTPARSE is on by default, and it flags statements that do not compile on the mainframe, like INSERT without the INTO or DELETE without the FROM. Adding the NOSTRICTPARSE directive resolve

Problem: In the EDVS2019 5.0 PU08 IDE, COBOL programs are opening in the binary editor or notepad instead of the default COBOL editor. The option to open the files with the COBOL editor is not available. Solution: This appears to be a VS2019 bug. Deleting the extra spaces at the bottom of the programs resolves the issue.

Hi All,Greetings!!A problem has been identified when killing micro focus job via Control-M client (Scheduling tool), Only the job is failing in control m side,but the job continues running in Enterprise server (MFC spool) until Micro focus admin manually kill/cancel the corresponding job from active queue.Note : The Control M scheduler executes the module MFBSIJCL,  by executing a script MFBSI submit script Testing Observations:1) Executed one of the test job and killed after few minutes in control M client side . Noticed that MFBSIJCL process got terminated in the task manager when the job was killed via control-m but the job was in execution state in MFC spool2) PID of MFBSIJCL  and PID of the job which was executing in ES are different 3) ES_JOB_KILL = NO is already commented out in MFBSI.Cfg file that means its using default ES-JOB-KILL=YES

Problem Micro Focus Enterprise Server provides the Digital Certificate Authentication Service (DCAS), which allows users to authenticate to Enterprise Server using an X.509 digital certificate. DCAS is an optional feature which is not enabled by default; it must be explicitly configured in an enterprise server region and enabled for each certificate and associated user. In older versions of Enterprise Server, DCAS is insufficiently secured, and a knowledgeable attacker might be able to use it to impersonate Enterprise Server users and gain access to the region. These deficiencies have been addressed for Enterprise Server 5.0 (when fully patched) and later, but DCAS must be configured properly to be secure. For these versions of Enterprise Server, see the product documentation topic
