Problem:

When installing Micro Focus Sever Express you are asked whether you want the default working mode to be either 32 or 64 bit.   Whichever you select the working mode default is set appropriately.

Resolution:

You can change the working mode (COBMODE) on a temporary basis or if you have root permission you can change the default working mode.

To change the default working mode temporarily you can set the COBMODE environment variable:

      export  COBMODE={32/64}

Once you have logged out the default working mode will revert back.

Note:  You can set COBMODE in your .profile

If you have root permission you can change the system default working mode by running the following command:

    cobmode -s {32/64}
