DBMaker Installation Steps

Installing DBMaker and preparing for use with Micro Focus COBOL

  1. Link your AcuGT runtime with DCI
  2. Your AcuGT runtime needs to be expanded to include DCI, for efficient access to DBMaker. This is done in the same manner of linking anything to the runtime, using an appropriate compiler.

  3. Install DBMaker
  4. After downloading the software (or inserting the CD), follow the setup instructions and DBMaker will be installed correctly.

  5. Create a Database
  6. DBMaker is a Relational Database Management system. It can have many different databases on the same system. You will need to create one in order to start using DBMaker to store and manage data.

Please contact us if you would like detailed instructions for linking DCI into the runtime, or installing DBMaker. We also have available upon request a sample COBOL application to take you through the installation and conversion process.
