4.2.1 The acushare Utility Program

The acushare utility program provides three key services for sites using the ACUCOBOL-GT runtime system: shared memory management, network license file management, and AcuServer license file management. acushare's shared memory service is discussed in section 2.11 of the ACUCOBOL-GT User's Guide. acushare is available on most UNIX machines. Specific instructions for starting and stopping this utility are given in section 4.2.3, below.

AcuServer license file management

The acushare utility is required with Acucorp's AcuServer product. AcuServer enables remote access of Vision indexed files. This product can be requested for single-server situations (one instance of AcuServer per server machine) and for

multiple-server situations (multiple instances of the product executing simultaneously on the same server machine). The acushare utility is required for both configurations.
