Mantis is developed in PHP which is a scripting language. The code gets interpreted rather than compiled.

You can use MantisConnect [1] to put data into Mantis if COBOL supports web services. You can also export the data to csv and then import it via a script, or write code that would write it directly to the database.

Hi vboctor,

Thanks for your reply,
Actually i have to use MANTIS as a UPPER layer in MAINFRAME, middle layer as a COBOL and backend is DB2 database.
I have an work experience on COBOL,but i am novice to MANTIS
Could you plese clear the queries i have in the below:
1. Is how can COBOL communicate(send and recieve data) with MANTIS screens?
2. Can we embed MANTIS commands in OCBOL coding ??

Do the needful on resolving above queries and please give me some links where i can get more info to develop the MANTIS ONLINE Screens.

and please sugest me some good USER MANUALS for reference

Thanks in Advance

Hi Rukma:

I don't mean to offend, but it almost sounds as though you are talking about the Mantis programming language as opposed to the Mantis Bug Tracker System (which is what this forum is for). Is this correct?
