Using Native Libraries inside isCOBOL EIS WD2 Usually c-treeRTG and other file handlers provide a file connector solution. When a file connector is available, it's preferable to use it instead of using native libraries. In order to use the file connector you just set the iscobol.file.index and iscobol.file.connector.program(.connector_name) properties to proper values in the iscobol.properties file installed in your webapp. If a file connector is not available or you have to use other native libraries for features not related to file handling, proceed as follows: • If the servlet container (Tomcat) is running on Windows, the folder containing the native library must appear in the PATH (System PATH setting, not User PATH). Alternatively, you can copy the necessary native libraries into the Tomcat bin folder. • If you're working on UNIX/Linux, instead, ensure that the directory containing the native library is listed in the library path (e.g. LD_LIBRARY_PATH, LIBPATH, SHLIB_PATH, etc.) For example, in a typical configuration /etc/tomcat7/tomcat7.conf sources /usr/share/tomcat7/bin/setenv.sh which is the appropriate place to set global CLASSPATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH for Tomcat. In some cases, you can also set variables in $HOME/.tomcatrc. If you're using a container different than Tomcat, consult the documentation for the specific product.
