Enterprise Server supports Redis as a Scale-Out Repository (SOR). Redis is an open source in-memory data structure store, although there are
commercial versions available, such as Redis Enterprise. AWS also provides Elasticache for Redis which enables easy management
and maintenance of Redis instances.
COBOL Server for Windows and UNIX, ships with a version of Redis.
Note: The Windows version of Redis that is shipped with
Visual COBOL is for testing purpose only and is not intended for use in a production environment. For a production environment,
Micro Focus recommends using an Enterprise-ready Redis compatible NoSQL database run on Linux or Windows, as required. The open-source
Redis provided with the product can only be used in a UNIX environment.
To start the Redis server for UNIX environments, start a command prompt, and then type:
$COBDIR/AdoptRedis/redis-server
Note: This starts the Redis server on the default port 6379.
