Visual COBOL supports Redis as a Scale-Out Repository (SOR). Redis is an open source in-memory data structure store, although there are
commercial versions available, such as Redis Enterprise. AWS also provides Elasticache for Redis which enables easy management
and maintenance of Redis instances.
Visual COBOL for Windows and UNIX, ships with a version of Redis.
Note: Micro Focus recommends that you deploy Redis to UNIX when being used as part of a PAC in a production environment.
To start the Redis server for UNIX environments, start a command prompt, and then type:
$COBDIR/AdoptRedis/redis-server
Note: This starts the Redis server on the default port 6379.
