Welcome to Server Express

In this Chapter

Welcome

Micro Focus Server Express enables you to develop and deploy COBOL applications on a variety of UNIX and Linux platforms. Server Express provides tools for developing applications, for enabling applications to interface with mechanisms such as Java, Web Services and XML.

You can also migrate COBOL applications from many other systems and dialects, including IBM mainframe COBOL. Applications developed on Windows using Net Express can be ported to UNIX using UNIX Option in Net Express. They can then be built and deployed on UNIX and Linux using Server Express

Micro Focus Server is a companion to Server Express and provides the run-time environment for running COBOL applications on UNIX and Linux platforms.
