System Directory Location

You can view the output generated by most diagnostic facilities in ESCWA; however, if you need to send diagnostic output files to a colleague or to OpenText Support for Micro Focus Products, then you need to know where to find them.

Unless otherwise noted, diagnostic output files are written to a subdirectory bearing the same name as its enterprise server region, and is located under the defined Enterprise Server system directory. The default system directory is:

Windows platforms:

%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Micro Focus User\Visual COBOL\WORKAREA

UNIX platforms:

UNIX platforms:/var/mfcobol/es

For example, if the name of your enterprise server region is MYSVR, diagnostic output files for the MYSVR enterprise server region would be

Windows platforms:%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Micro Focus User\Visual COBOL\WORKAREA\MYSVR
UNIX platforms:/var/mfcobol/es/MYSVR
