Create and Configure ESCORS

Start Enterprise Server Administration

1. From Server Explorer in Enterprise Developer, right-click Micro Focus Servers; then click Administration.

   The Enterprise Server Administration Home page starts in an Enterprise Developer window.

Create ESCORS

In this section, you create the ESCORS enterprise server instance from the Home page in Enterprise Server Administration.

1. From the Enterprise Server Administration Home page, click Add.
2. In the Server Name field, type ESCORS.
3. If you are on a Windows 64-bit system, click 64-bit under Working Mode.
4. Click Next.
5. Under Server Type, select Micro Focus Enterprise Server; then click Next.
6. On the Add server (Page 3 of 3) page, click Add.

Configure ESCORS

By default, your new enterprise server instance is already configured for the CORS architectural style; however, you must make some adjustments, which include enabling dynamic debugging, setting an endpoint address for the Web Services and J2EE Listener, and if you do not have Administrator privileges to the Enterprise Developer installation folder, defining a deployment folder.

Enable Dynamic Debugging

1. On the Enterprise Server Administration Home page in the table of servers, click the Edit button that corresponds to the ESCORS server.
2. On the Server > Properties > General page (default) in the Startup Options group, check Allow Dynamic Debugging; then click OK.

   This returns you to the Home page.

Configure the Web Services and J2EE Listener

1. On the Enterprise Server Administration Home page, in the Communications Processes column for the ESCORS server, click the Details button.

   This takes you to the Communications Processes page for Enterprise Server listeners.

2. Click the Edit button that corresponds to Web Services and J2EE Listener.
3. Change the contents of the Endpoint Address field to *:9003.
4. Click OK.

   This returns you to the Communications Processes page.

5. Click the Edit button that corresponds to Web listener.
6. Change the value of the New Status field to Stopped. This enables the listener used to deploy the service interface to the ESCORS server.
7. Click OK.
   Important: If you do not have Administrator privileges to the Enterprise Developer installation folder, continue with the configuration. Otherwise, configuration for the ESCORS enterprise server instance is complete at this point. Click Home to return to the Home page.

Define a Deployment Folder

The default deployment folder used by Enterprise Server is a subfolder to your Enterprise Developer installation folder. If you have Administrator privileges to the Enterprise Developer installation structure, or if you started Enterprise Developer using Run as Administrator, you are not required to complete this section of the tutorial.

1. Back on the Communications Processes page, click the Edit button that corresponds to the Web listener.
2. Scroll down to the Configuration Information field; then within the field, scroll down until you find the relevant code, then change:

   uploads=<ES>/deploy

   to:

   uploads=ProjectFolder/deploy

   where ProjectFolder is the full path to your project folder, using forward slashes to separate subfolders. For example:

   uploads=c:/tutorials/solution-name/project-name/deploy

3. Click OK.
4. Click Home to return to the Enterprise Server Administration Home page.

Create and Configure a Deployment Folder

The default deployment folder used by Enterprise Server is a subfolder to your Enterprise Developer installation folder. If you have Administrator privileges to the Enterprise Developer installation structure, or if you started Enterprise Developer using Run as Administrator, you are not required to complete this section of the tutorial.

Create the deploy folder

Without Administrator privileges, you cannot deploy to Enterprise Server from the default Enterprise Developer deployment folder. To ensure successful deployment, create a deploy folder in your ProgramCORS project.

Import the .mfdeploy File

The new deploy folder must contain the .mfdeploy configuration file. You import the file from the Solution Explorer.

1. From the Solution Explorer, right-click the deploy folder; then select Add > Existing Item.
2. Browse to the InstallFolder\deploy folder where InstallFolder is your Enterprise Developer installation folder. By default, this is %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Micro Focus\Enterprise Developer.
3. Double-click the .mfdeploy file.
