The Connection Setup dialog box enables you to create URLs that can be distributed to your end-users; they can then paste the URL into their browsers to run your application.
The following example URL connects to your application. See the table beneath it for a breakdown of the syntax:
http://127.0.0.1:3000?hostgw=127.0.0.1&portgw=8009&alias=calc&aliasArgs=%20sum&showvirkey=n&theme=ThemeFX
These are the available URL parameters:
| Syntax | Description |
|---|---|
| http://<IP>:<PORT> | Set <IP> and <PORT> to the IP or hostname and port of your web server. |
| ?hostgw=<gateway-addr>&portgw=<gateway-port> |
Set <gateway-addr> to the IP address or hostname of the gateway. Set <gateway-port> to the port of the gateway. This defaults to 8009 if omitted. |
| &alias=<alias-name> |
Set <alias-name> to the alias of your COBOL application, as configured in AcuConnect. |
| &aliasArgs=<args> |
To pass arguments to the COBOL application, use &aliasArgs and set <args> to the arguments required to run the COBOL application specified; for example &aliasArgs=%20abc%20def. In the example above %20 inserts the spaces required in between the alias name and the specified arguments. |
| &alias=<alias-name>%20value%20value | This is an alternative method to using &aliasArgs. You can append the arguments directly after the alias declaration. |
| &runtimeArgs=<args> |
Set <args> to the runtime arguments required to run your COBOL application. This is optional. |
| &enable_log={y|n} |
Set y or n to enable/disable logging. This is optional, and can be omitted completely to disable logging. You should only enable logging when requested to by Micro Focus. |
| &showvirkey={y|n} |
Set y or n to enable/disable the mobile virtual keyboard when connecting on a mobile device. This is enabled by default, but has no effect if you are not connecting on a mobile device. |
| &theme=<theme-name> |
Set <theme-name> to the name of a theme associated with the current Gateway service. |
