Connecting to AcuServer

It is possible that the ACUCOBOL-GT runtime may appear to hang if the application host needs to open files on a remote (third) machine using AcuServer® and a password is needed. The problem may appear in one of two ways:

1. If the runtime is on a UNIX machine and the remote file is an error file or a configuration file, the runtime and the ACUCOBOL-GT Thin Client both hang. Note that in this instance, if the remote file is requested after the COBOL program has started, the password dialog appears as expected.
2. If the runtime is running on a Windows machine, the runtime and the ACUCOBOL-GT Thin Client both hang.

You can avoid this behavior by not requiring passwords on machines running AcuServer if the files on the AcuServer machine are needed by the ACUCOBOL-GT runtime serving the thin client.
