To ensure full functionality for some
Enterprise Developer features, you might be required to obtain and install additional third-party software in addition to the prerequisite software installed automatically by the
Enterprise Developer setup file. The following information specifies the third-party software required for each feature.

Java Development Kit (JDK)
Back to Top
- Compiling Java
- Either the IBM or the Oracle Java Development Kit (JDK), version 1.5 or later, is required for compiling Java.
- Interface Mapping Toolkit (IMTK)
-
Restriction: This feature applies only when the Enterprise Server feature is enabled.
The JDK is required for generating Java interfaces from the Interface Mapping Toolkit or the
imtkmake command.
- EJBs
- Use the same JDK vendor and version that is used by the application server.
After installing the JDK, you need to set up your Java environment.
Database Access
Back to Top
Before you can use
Enterprise Developer to
develop and
deploy SQL applications that use
COBSQL,
HCO for DB2 LUW, or
OpenESQL,
ensure any third-party software prerequisites are installed and the environment is set properly.
Database Access - COBSQL (Pro*COBOL)
Back to Top
Note: COBSQL (Pro*COBOL) is supported for native COBOL only.

- XA Switch Module
- The
Oracle XA switch module is provided for COBSQL (Pro*COBOL), and is available on the same platforms as are indicated in the
Availability section above.
- Certification of RDBMS Precompilers for Native COBOL
- Certification of RDBMS precompilers with
Micro Focus products is the responsibility of the RDBMS vendor, rather than
Micro Focus. Certification information can be found within the relevant Oracle documentation. If you have an Oracle MetaLink account (http://metalink.oracle.com), document # 43208.1 provides details of all language compilers certified by Oracle for use with their precompilers.
- Preprocessors
- COBSQL supports the following database preprocessors:
- Sybase Open Client Embedded SQL/COBOL Version 11.1 or later
- Oracle Pro*COBOL Version 11.1 (11gR1) or later
- Informix Embedded SQL/COBOL Version 7.3 or later
- Compiling
- On x86 and x86-64 platforms, when compiling with COBSQL for use with Oracle, do not use the COBSQL directive option NOMAKESYN, since this directive results in COMP host variables, and on Intel platforms these are incompatible with the native byte order expected by Oracle.
- Executing
- On HP-UX, to execute an application precompiled using Pro*COBOL (or COBSQL) after you have created a callable shared object of Oracle DBMS routines, you need set an environment variable, LD_PRELOAD, to point to the Oracle client callable shared object, for example:
LD_PRELOAD=$ORACLE_HOME/libdir/libclntsh.so
export LD_PRELOAD
where
libdir is:
- lib32 for 32-bit environments
- lib for 64-bit environments.
A script is available that creates an executable run-time system or a callable shared object containing Oracle support (applies to UNIX environments only). You can find the script in the Micro Focus Knowledge Base article titled
Building and executing Pro*COBOL applications on UNIX.
