If Windows Firewall, the remote development function cannot be used. To prevent this problem, change settings so that Windows Firewall does not check the program outlined in the following table.
Program name | Storage folder | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
COBRDC32.exe | NetCOBOL installation folder | Remote debugger connector |
To register COBRDC32.exe as an exception:
Click the "Control Panel" > "System and Security" > "Allow an app through Windows Firewall".
Click the "Change settings" button, and then click the "Allow another app" button in the "Allowed apps" window.
Click the "Browse" button in the "Add an app" dialog box.
Select "COBRDC32.exe" and click the "Open" button in the NetCOBOL installation folder in the "Browse" dialog box.
Click the "Add" button in the "Add an app" dialog box, and then click the "OK" button in the "Allowed apps" window.
Changing the scope
To change the scope:
In the Windows Firewall setting window, click the "Advanced settings" tab.
Click the "Inbound Rules" button in "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security" dialog box. Select the program whose scope is changed, and then select "Properties" menu from the context menu.
In the "Scope" tab of properties dialog box, select the "These IP addresses", and then click the "Add" button.
Enter the IP address, and then click the "OK" button in the "IP address" dialog box.
Check the IP address is displayed in the "These IP addresses" window, and then click the "OK" button in the properties dialog box.
On a Linux (Itanium) server
In the event that there is a connection to a Linux server and the Windows firewall is enabled, and the ftpd/rexec service is utilized instead of the server-side NetCOBOL remote development service, the linkage to the Linux server might exhibit extremely slow processing time. To alleviate this, follow the procedure below to register port 113 as an exception.
In the Windows Firewall setting window, click the "Advanced settings" tab.
Click the "Inbound Rules" button in "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security" dialog box. Click the "New Rule" in the "Actions" menu list.
Select the "Port", and then click the "Next" button in the "New Inbound Rule Wizard".
In the "Protocol and Ports" page, select the "TCP" and the "Specific local ports", and then enter "113". Click the "Next" button.
Select the "Allow the connection", and click the "Next" button. Set the remaining items following instructions of the wizard.
