Using Directory Server instead of CCITCP2 - Micro Focus

Using Directory Server instead of CCITCP2
If you have installed Net Express 4.0 or Server Express 4.0 with the Enterprise
Server option, then the CCITCP2 program will have been replaced by a trigger
program that calls the Micro Focus Directory Server (MFDS) program.
As far as CCI a user are concerned, the Directory Server serves the same
purpose as CCITCP2 and behaves in exactly the same way. Each machine that
runs the Enterprise Server option must have a copy of the Directory Server
program running on it.
MFDS is a complete replacement for CCITCP2, and is backwardly compatible with
CCITCP2 and supports all the same command line options, syntax, and all other
functionality.
There are two types of servers controlled by the Directory Server:
Micro Focus Enterprise Server
This is a server that provides an execution environment for COBOL
programs running in response to service requests issued by several
different client types.
Micro Focus CCI Server
This is a server that provides services using the Micro Focus Common
Communications Interface (CCI), using the Directory Server as a name
server instead of registering with a CCITCP2 process. You cannot create
new CCI servers nor change their status. If a CCI server is running on
the same network as the Directory Server, and if it has been configured to
use Directory Server as a naming service, it will simply appear in the
table of servers, with the status "Registered" when it is running. It will
remove itself from the table when it stops. For more information about
CCI, see the Configuring CCI book within your product documentation.
If you have installed Micro Focus Enterprise Server for Windows, this will
automatically install the Micro Focus Directory Server (MFDS) as a service, so
there is no need to manually install CCITCP2 as a service.
If you have installed Server Express you could insert the command in your start
up shell script. Therefore you have to insert the following environment variables:
COBDIR - Specifies the directory that contains Enterprise Server
PATH - Specifies the directories to be searched by all UNIX
programs, including the run-time system, when finding executables
to be run
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, LIBPATH or SHLIB_PATH, depending on your
UNIX system - Specifies the directory or directories for the UNIX
system, cob and the run-time system to search for shared libraries
and callable shared objects.

Using Directory Server instead of CCITCP2
The command to start Directory Server is mfds. You need to log in as
root before you run mfds. The mfds command must be inserted after
the command to start up TCP/IP, because Directory Server requires
TCP/IP to be running.
