Once you have installed the ACUCOBOL-GT runtime on the client(s), you must create a special configuration file that tells AcuConnect the location of the remote application component, the runtime flags to use when running the remote application (if any), and the runtime configuration file to use. This file can be named anything, but for clarity, is called "client.cfg" throughout this document. The client configuration file should be placed in the /etc or \etc directory on the client or specified using the "-c" command line option.
When AcuConnect is shipped, it includes a sample "client.cfg" file . If you want to install this sample file on your client machine(s), you may do so. This may be a good starting point for creating and modifying your own file.
The "client.cfg" file can contain any standard configuration file variable defined in the ACUCOBOL-GT User's Guide (for instance, CODE-SUFFIX, ACUCOBOL, SERVER-PORT, and TEXT). In addition, it can contain the following AcuConnect-specific variables:
Note: Many of these variables are used to specify the location of remote programs and files. You can use either IP addresses or server names in the "client.cfg".
