Deploying the Micro Focus Run-Time System

Applications developed using Enterprise Developer require a COBOL run-time server, Enterprise Test Server, to provide the necessary run-time system and support.

Micro Focus recommends that you install the full Enterprise Test Server with your applications. It is also possible to install only selected files, which is available to preserve backward compatibility.

To install the full Enterprise Test Server (recommended):

Install Enterprise Test Server either in same directory as your application or a separate directory, which is recommended if several applications will be sharing it.
To install this, run the install file ets_40.exe .

You can also install Enterprise Test Server silently - see Enterprise Test Server Installation Options.

If you use a Windows install package to deliver your application, you can include the Enterprise Test Server with this. See Enterprise Test Server Deployment Toolkit.

To install selected files (not recommended, but available for backward compatibility):

Determine the files to ship.
Extract the files in the Enterprise Test Server install file. To do this, run the executable file ets_40.exe .
Copy the files that your application requires into same directory as your application, or if several applications will be sharing the files, copy them into a separate directory.
