Remote Compiling

isCOBOL IDE allows you to compile programs remotely. Assuming that there is a Remote Compiler listening on a server, you can instruct the IDE to delegate the compilation to it.

To activate this feature

1.	click on Project menu

2.	choose Properties

3.	expand Settings and select Compile/Runtime options

4.	check the Use Remote Compiler option

5.	click on the Configure button and input the necessary information

 

Host Name and Port are the address and the port of the server where the Remote Compiler is listening. PreProcessors Names is the list of preprocessors that must be invoked to precompile the source file (click on the Add button to add items to the list). Remaining settings are optional.

Now, each time you issue a compilation, it will be done remotely. To disable the feature and compile locally, uncheck the Use Remote Compiler option.
