The information that is used by each developer's NetCOBOL Studio for link with the server must be set. These settings are shared among workspaces.
Setting server information
To display the New Server Information dialog box and set server information.
Select "Window" > "Preferences" from the menu bar. The "Preferences" dialog box appears.
Select "COBOL" > "Remote Development" in the left pane of the "Preferences" dialog box. The "Remote Development "page is displayed.
Click the "New" button on the "Remote Development" page. The "New Server Information" dialog box appears.
Item | Description | |
|---|---|---|
Server name | Specify an arbitrary name, which will be displayed in Server name on the Remote Development page of the Preferences dialog box. The server name is used to specify the target server of a COBOL project. A server name that is already defined cannot be specified. | |
Server OS | Select the operating system of the server. | |
Server address | Specify a name (FQDN: Fully Qualified Domain Name) or IP address that identifies the server in the network. | |
Save user name and password | Specify whether the user name and password are used to connect the server. If this item is checked, the user name and password specified in this dialog box will be used. If the item is unchecked, the dialog box for Inputting user name and password for connecting to the server appears when the server is initially connected after NetCOBOL Studio is launched. The default setting is unchecked. | |
User name | Specify the user name of an account used to access the server. If Save user name and password is checked, a "User name" must be specified. | |
Password | Specify the password assigned to the user. If Save user name and password is checked, a "Password" must be specified. | |
Character-code conversion | Code conversion information for files is transmitted to and received from the server. Code conversion processing is usually executed by the code conversion function provided in the system. However, if ADJUST (only for Windows) or Interstage Charset Manager is installed, it is used for code conversion. | |
COBOL Source character-code on the server side | Select the character-code of the COBOL source file transferred to the server side of remote development. The following character-codes can be selected.
| |
Convert character set in the server | Specify whether the server or the local PC converts code for sending or receiving a text file. The default setting is with "Convert character set in the server" checked. If "Windows (Itanium)" or "Windows(x64)" is selected at "Server OS", this item is disabled. | |
Convert character set in the client | ||
Information for UNIX Server system | This information is specified if the selection at "Server OS" is Solaris or Linux(Itanium). | |
FTP is used for remote development | When this option is selected, the ftpd/rexec services are used as the remote development server-side services. | |
Use PASV mode for file transfer(FTP) | If this item is checked, files are transferred in PASV mode. The server may not be connected when files are transferred to or from an FTP server outside the firewall. For such cases, this item must be checked. The default setting is unchecked. This option is enabled for remote development that uses the server-side ftpd/rexec services. | |
NetCOBOL Remote Development Service on server side | This information is for the server-side NetCOBOL remote development service. | |
Specify the TCP/IP port number of the NetCOBOL remote development services. If the port number of the NetCOBOL remote development services has been changed on the server side, adjust this value to the changed port number. The default value is 61999. This option is enabled if remote development uses the server-side NetCOBOL remote development service. | ||
SSH Port Forwarding | The connection to NetCOBOL remote development services are encrypted. When "Linux(x64)" is selected at "Server OS", this item is enabled. | |
SSH Port number | Specify the SSH Port number. The default value is 22. When "SSH Port Forwarding" is selected, this item is enabled. | |
SSH Server FingerPrint | Specify the FingerPrint by hexadecimal digit string. Ask the server administrator about the value. When "SSH Port Forwarding" is selected, this item is enabled. | |
Algorithm | Specify the algorithm of SSH Server FingerPrint (either sha1 or md5). Ask the server administrator about the value. The default value is md5. When "SSH Port Forwarding" is selected, this item is enabled. | |
Connection test | The server is connected using the current set values when this button is clicked, and the connection results are displayed in the Connection test dialog box. | |
Verifying a connection to the server
The server is connected using the values specified in the "New Server Information" or "Modify Server Information" dialog box of server information when the "Connection test" button is clicked. The results are displayed in the "Connection test" dialog box. When a connection is successfully established, the information set for the server environment variables is displayed. If the connection attempt fails, error information is displayed.
Inputting user name and password for connecting to the server
If Save user name and password is not checked in the New Server Information or Modify Server Information dialog box of server information, the dialog box for specifying a user name and password appears when the server is initially connected after NetCOBOL Studio is launched. The user name and password are used to connect the server.
Changing server information
To display the Modify Server Information dialog box and change server information:
Select "Window" > "Preferences" from the menu bar. The "Preferences" dialog box appears.
Select "COBOL" > "Remote Development" in the left pane of the "Preferences" dialog box. The "Remote Development" page is displayed.
In the "Remote Development" page, select the name of the server whose information is to be changed from the "Server name" list, and click the "Modify" button. The "Modify Server Information" dialog box appears.
Deleting server information
To delete server information:
Select "Window" > "Preferences" from the menu bar. The "Preferences" dialog box appears.
Select "COBOL" > "Remote Development" in the left pane of the "Preferences" dialog box. The "Remote Development" page is displayed.
In the "Remote Development" page, select the name of the server whose information is to be deleted from the "Server name" list, and click the "Delete" button. The server information is deleted.
