Remote Compilation

Our company develops Lemo Cobol IDE and we are going to implement
Remote Compilation. This feature allows to compile the sources on a
remote server using network.

We would like to know how you use remote compilation.

We have two different scenarios for this purpose.

1. FTP + TelNet. User specifies parameters of FTP and TelNet
connections. IDE copies files through FTP to server. IDE launches
compiler on the server using telnet and shows output log. IDE copies
binary files from server to client through FTP.

2. Compilation Server. Admin launches special program on the server-
Compilation Server. The IDE communicates with the Compilation Server.
The IDE passes sources to the Compilation Server. The server compiles
the sources and passes the output log to IDE. IDE shows the log.

What do you think about these scenarios?

Thanks

Everything old is new again, aye... but nowadays they have it easy, they
get to use telephone or telnet connections instead of tin-cans and string.

Tin cans and a string worked perfectly fine until you got a knot in your
string.


PatH...always seemed to be the "knot unraveler"

Sounds to me like you are inventing RJE batch.  That's the way I learnt
Cobol in 1967, and it worked quite well.

How many programmers does it take to change a light-bulb?

None... that's a hardware problem.

We are going to use both SSH and TelNet.
