IsCOBOL Server enhancements
The isCOBOL Server has been improved, allowing ThinClient sessions to have a custom timeout value for connection errors. TurboRun connections have been improved with the same capability.
ThinClient -timeout option
Usually, connection errors such as network connectivity issues or not having the ISCSERVER program running, are reported after a timeout period that is OS dependent. Now, the command line option -timeout can be used to force the number of seconds before errors are reported. If the default timeout is too high, the setting can be used to report such errors sooner.
In the following example, the isclient command uses 2 seconds as the timeout value for connections:
isclient –hostname myserver –port 10999 –timeout 2 PROGNAME |
When the ThinClient is executed using an .istc file, the following new configuration needs to be set:
Trun -timeout option
The same option is supported by the Turbo Run (trun) tool. For example:
trun –hostname myserver –port 10995 –timeout 2 PROGNAME |
or using the configuration TRUN_TIMEOUT when executing locally:
export TRUN_TIMEOUT=2 trun PROGNAME |
