You can use this page to specify region-specific COBOL Application Server (CAS) properties.
The properties are split into feature groups that are displayed irrespective of the region's configured features.
Click
Apply to save the modified properties and apply the changes to the startup configuration.
Click
Show Dynamic to toggle the display of dynamic properties.
Click
Install to apply the modified properties to the running region. Only dynamic properties can be modified and installed for a running
region.
Note: These changes will not be applied to the startup configuration.
- NAME
- The name of the property.
- VALUE
- The specified value for the property, this field can be modified by double-clicking it and typing a new value or checking,
depending on the data type.
- ACTIVE VALUE
- The specified active value for the property, the active value is the value currently being used for the started
enterprise server region. This can be dynamically changed for some properties.
Note: The
VALUE is the value that will be used the next time the
enterprise server region starts.
- METADATA
-
- dynamic
- This identifies whether a property can be dynamically updated or not. That is, it identifies if the variable can be viewed
and updated whilst the region is running.
- pac-wide
- This identifies if a property is synchronized across the PAC for PAC or PFORCE updates. See
ES Control for more information on the scope of values.
- legacy-env
- This specifies the legacy environment variable name of the property which will be overridden if applied to the startup configuration
or installed. See
Environment variables in alphabetical order for more information.
- no-env-expansion
- If set, this prevents the expansion of environment variables for a string type property, for example, $TXRFDIR.
- DEFAULT VALUE
- This is the default value of the property.
- VALIDATION RULES
- This indicates the valid value(s) or value range that can be specified for the property.
- DATA TYPES
- The property can be one of the following data types:
- boolean
- enum
- integer
- string
Note: There is an order of precedence for initial property values, ranked from highest to lowest:
- PAC-wide configuration provided by the PSOR.
- Any specified legacy environment variables.
- Data from MFDS used in the startup configuration.
The configuration for the CAS properties are stored in the
cas.json file, located at
$COBDIR/etc/configdefinitions.
Micro Focus recommends that you do not modify the
cas.json file directly.
Remember: PAC members must be configured consistently. When considering an upgrade to the product version,
Micro Focus recommends that you run the
caspac -aCheckCompat command to validate that PSOR recovery will take place. See
Performing a Product Upgrade to a PAC Environment for more information.
