Micro Focus Visual COBOL


Micro Focus COBOL - Overview

• PeopleSoft has transitioned from Net/Server Express to Visual COBOL

• PeopleTools 8.57 is the last release certified with MF Net/Server Express

• There is no additional cost to transition to Visual COBOL – part of Support

• Low impact - our testing uncovered no changes to COBOL code

• Minimum PeopleTools patch levels:

- 8.56.16

- 8.57.05

- 8.58.01

• Net/Server Express go into sustaining support for PS after April, 2021


Micro Focus COBOL – Transition Options

If you currently have Net Express, you have several options

• Visual COBOL 4.0 for Visual Studio (Windows) – VS 2015, 2017

• Visual COBOL 4.0 for Eclipse (Windows)

• Visual COBOL 4.0 Build Tools (Windows)

The right choice will be determined by the dev tools you have available in house

If you have Server Express, the choice is simple

• Visual COBOL 4.0 Development HUB


Micro Focus COBOL – Getting Started

• Review the Visual COBOL FAQ and Tech Update

FAQ – PS Visual COBOL (Doc ID 2523494.1) Tech Update - Main Page (Doc ID 764222.1)

• Get the compiler

Download it from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud.

• Obtain you new license

Send the following information to [email protected]. o Company Name o Customer IDo Customer Support Identifier (CSI) numbero Desired operating systemo Desired compiler

NOTE: While testing the conversion, Oracle provides Visual COBOL licenses equaling the number of Net/Server Express licenses you have. This allows for testing while still running the old compilers in production.
