Configuring COBOL Analyzer

Use the Configuration Manager in the COBOL Analyzer Administration tool to configure CA options and displays for the programming languages, dialects, character sets, and products in use at your site.

If you configure your CA for COBOL, for example, you will see only the CA options and displays appropriate for COBOL modernization. You need to configure your CA for PL/I as well, you can come back to the Configuration Manager later and select PL/I in addition to COBOL.

Note: The COBOL Analyzer Administration tool will prompt to be run with elevated privileges. This is required because some features of the tool require write access to the Program Files directory.

Open the Configuration Manager window.
- If you are installing CA, the Configuration Manager window opens after you finish the installation.
- If you have previously installed CA and want to reconfigure it, choose Start > Programs > Micro Focus > > Administration. The COBOL Analyzer Administration window opens. In the Administer menu, choose Configure Micro Focus . The Configuration Manager window opens.
Note: If CA is open, you are prompted to exit. Click OK, then close CA.
Select each programming language, dialect, and character set in use at your site. Select each CA product you want to use at your site. The core Application Analyzer product is always selected. Select Additional Tools to enable tools not used in typical CA configurations. When you are satisfied with your choices, click OK.
Note: If you modify your CA configuration, make sure you upgrade workspaces created under the previous configuration.
