Single-User versus Multiuser Environments

COBOL Analyzer can be deployed in a single-user or multiuser environment:

• In a single-user environment, the workspace repository resides on the local machine, and can be accessed by the owner of the machine only. Limited facilities exist for sharing work with other users.
• In a multiuser environment, the workspace repository resides on a database server, and can be accessed by any user with appropriate database privileges.

Most installations deploy COBOL Analyzer in a multiuser environment. Single-user mode typically is reserved for special needs.

The guidelines that follow for multiuser environments apply equally to single-user environments. For installation instructions, see the installation guide for your product.
