By starting a ccitcp2 process on multiple machines, the end-user was establishing multiple and potentially conflicting registration processes on the network. When the CCITCP2 environment variable is not set, the assumption is that the ccitcp2 process running on the local machine is the intended registration process for the whole network. The ccitcp2 process is a registration process, similar to a nameserver, and the intention is that just one machine in the network will run the registration process and act as the nameserver, while on all other machines, the environment variable CCITCP2 will be set to the name of the machine where the ccitcp2 process is running, so all machines will use one registration process. This conflicts with the design intention of Fileshare and CCITCP2. They were running ccitcp2 processes on each machine, and were not setting the CCITCP2 environment variable on any machine. The end-user was trying to start more than one Fileshare Server having the same name, though on different machines. News Micro Focus Net Express Bridges COBOL and.Current Revision posted to Net Express/Server Express Knowledge Base by Dan.Wright on 2:20:16 PMĮrror when starting a Fileshare Server: "FS077-S A Fileshare Server of the same name has already been defined" Resolution: The venerable COBOL programming language still powers reams of mainframe-level applications, posing a challenge for development managers seeking a way to bridge the chasm between legacy applications and active. Net Express 5.0 from Micro Focus ( ) offers a bridge between the two worlds.

It allows developers to reuse COBOL code within the.

NET framework, instead of having to rewrite it from scratch. In many instances, businesses may want to layer a graphical interface over proven, COBOL-based business logic. Under Net Express 5.0, Visual Studio 2005 can then be used to develop and extend the legacy code. "It takes COBOL programmers into a new environment. If you suddenly give a COBOL programmer a Java IDE or Visual Studio, that's quite a big leap," says John Billman, product manager for Micro Focus. "It provides a common environment for the deployment of COBOL and other Microsoft language-based applications.

It's the same development environment across languages of the. NET framework."Ībout half of all organizations are still writing new COBOL code and about 15 percent of new programs are being developed with it, according to the company. "There are still huge amounts of COBOL today.
