Server Express

Micro Focus Server Express is the platform of choice for deploying e-business and distributed applications

Building Next Generation E-Business Applications

Specifically designed for performance and reliability to support high-volume transaction processing applications, Micro Focus Server Express� is the platform of choice for deploying e-business and distributed applications. Server Express accelerates enterprise COBOL application performance to the next level, providing the fastest ever Micro Focus COBOL� product for UNIX. Server Express helps to dramatically reduce deployment costs and provides increased service levels through state-of-the-art capabilities like AppTrack and FaultFinder.

Scaleable Solution for Enterprise Development and Deployment

Server Express can be combined with Micro Focus Net Express� to provide a highly productive GUI development environment on Microsoft Windows with the outstanding scalability of both NT and UNIX for deployment. Applications can be developed easily with Net Express and then rapidly deployed using Server Express. When used with Server Express, Net Express simplifies UNIX deployment through publishing to UNIX and remote debugging.

Improved Productivity and Application Support

Remote debugging and production debugging enhancements enable advanced e-business and Web applications to be debugged with ease, directly on the deployment server, making it easier to develop and deploy robust, high performing Web applications.

The introduction of OpenESQL� in Server Express gives database and platform independent SQL access through ODBC with the simplicity of EXEC SQL statements. OpenESQL applications can be rapidly generated using the Net Express OpenESQL Assistant� and easily deployed on the UNIX system of choice. This approach offers improved choice, increased productivity and great flexibility.

Server Express provides unlimited scalability, supporting COBOL data file sizes in the terabytes, enabling large-scale application development to support business growth into the next millennium.

Quickest Path To 64-bit Application

Server Express was designed for today's 32-bit and 64-bit operating system architectures. With Server Express (64-bit Edition), you are just one simple step away from a 64-bit COBOL application!

Compatible with Existing Micro Focus UNIX Applications

Server Express was specifically engineered to be compatible with existing Micro Focus COBOL applications. Most applications only require recompilation to take advantage of the advanced performance and capabilities of Server Express.

Highlights

State-of-the-Art COBOL Compiler

Server Express includes a state-of-the-art compiler that builds on COBOL's traditional strengths by providing:

  • High-performance native code that can be optimized for peak performance on specific hardware like the leading IBM and Sun platforms
  • Extensive COBOL dialect support, simplifying reuse of existing applications and leveraging existing COBOL programming skills
  • Scalability, ranging from workstations to multi-processor UNIX systems
  • Full support for object oriented application development
  • A portable object file format for easily deploying applications on leading server platforms utilizing Micro Focus Application Server�
  • Fully portable multi-threading capabilities, leveraging modern operating system threading capabilities to provide optimum application performance

Server Express is built using the latest Micro Focus COBOL callable shared object technology. This new executable format provides fast execution and delivers immediate productivity gains. With Server Express, you can also take advantage of this powerful new format by recompiling your existing COBOL application, enabling your multi-user application to run faster and perform better.

Advanced Debugging Support Using Animator�

Server Express provides debugging capabilities needed to find and resolve problems in code quickly. Animator within Server Express provides:
  • Debugging of all Micro Focus COBOL executable file formats including native code and shared objects
  • Full control over the debugging process. You can single step, run to a particular location and reset the execution point to any statement in your code
  • Ability to examine and change any data item in the program during execution (ASCII or EBCDIC format)
  • Just-In-Time (JIT) animation - if your application fails while it is running, Animator can be automatically started at the point in the source code where the error occurred, allowing you to quickly determine and correct the error
  • Multi-threaded application debugging - freeze, thaw, or activate specific threads. Set breakpoints within threads. You are in complete control!
  • Simplified mixed language debugging - Animator works with your system debugger to enable you to quickly and easily debug mixed language applications
  • Dynamic attachment to your COBOL program - use Animator to dynamically attach to your executing programs at any time
  • UNIX "core" debugging - use Animator to analyze a UNIX "core" dump created when a COBOL application failure occurs

Once you have determined what caused an error in the program, you can edit it quickly and easily with a single keystroke - Server Express Animator is fully integrated with the Server Express full screen source code Editor.

COBOL For The Web

Server Express brings the power of COBOL to the Internet by enabling COBOL programs to process HTML forms dynamically using familiar ACCEPT/DISPLAY syntax or embedded HTML. This allows you to develop and debug portable Web server applications that can be targeted at many different production platforms. There's no need to invest in, or use, any other server scripting language -- you can do it all in COBOL!

High-Performance Web Applications

A key element for providing optimum performance on today's web servers is the ability to create executables that exploit all the performance capabilities of the production server. Server Express enables you to do this very easily by providing simple compile and link directives so, from a single source stream, an application can be built for deployment as a:

  • CGI application for use on any Web server
  • NSAPI shared object for use on Netscape Enterprise Server

Using COBOL with Java

Server Express provides the ability to deploy applications that support COBOL/Java interoperability created using the wizards in Micro Focus Net Express. Applications can be created and deployed without the programmer Java Native Interface (JNI) APIs.

FaultFinder

When applications fail in production you often cannot use your regular debugging techniques to locate the problem. You don't have the source code available or you cannot easily reproduce the problem. FaultFinder is designed to provide you with the help you need in these critical situations. It provides you with a snapshot of your application just at the point where the application failed, and provides fully configurable and comprehensive fault diagnostic information including:

  • Detailed analysis of your execution environment including environment variables, configuration options, and switch settings
  • A snapshot of the data files being processed and their file descriptors
  • Threading information, active programs (call stack) and their parameters
  • Loaded programs and associated data
  • Operation at which the application aborted and a history of other operations performed prior to failure

FaultFinder has been extended so it can be used before a problem has occurred. It can be invoked from an active program via a call statement or from the command line to be attached to an active process. In addition to the information listed above, FaultFinder also reports on memory allocation and usage by the various modules in the application.
