Server configuration

On the server machine, the folder that isupdater will check through HTTP must contain the following items:

1.	a configuration file named swupdater.properties

2.	a zip file or directoy for every package described in the swupdater.properties file

See Server Configuration (swupdater.properties) for details about the properties that can be used in swupdater.properties.

The following example describes the update of isCOBOL’s bin and lib folders at version 100.

Directory content:

isCOBOL-bin.zip isCOBOL-lib.zip swupdater.properties

Content of swupdater.properties:

swupdater.version.iscobol_lib=100 swupdater.lib.iscobol_lib=isCOBOL-lib.zip   swupdater.version.iscobol_bin=100 swupdater.lib.iscobol_bin=isCOBOL-bin.zip

isCOBOL Server as HTTP server

In the directory where the zip files and swupdater.properties are stored you can start the isCOBOL Server as follows:

iscserver -hs [-hsport port] [-hsroot folder]

Where

•	port specifies the port where to listen for HTTP connections. If omitted, 10996 is used.

•	folder specifies the root folder where swupdater.properties is located. This folder is also used to resolve relative paths of files in swupdater.properties. If omitted, the iscserver working directory is used.

The activation of the HTTP server as well as port and folder can also be set in the configuration file; see iscobol.as.httpserver (boolean), iscobol.as.httpserver.port and iscobol.as.httpserver.root for details.

The -hs option can be used along with other iscserver options. The following command starts the isCOBOL Server with all the services on: application server, file server and HTTP server.

iscserver -as -fs -hs
