Create an MSS-enabled Enterprise Server

To create an MSS-enabled enterprise server:

  1. Launch Visual Studio.
  2. Open the Server Explorer window.

    If it is hidden, display it by choosing View > Server Explorer.

  3. Expand Micro Focus Servers.
  4. Right-click localhost, and click New Enterprise Server.
    Tip: If you are not currently signed on to the current enterprise server, the Enterprise Server Sign On dialog box appears: click OK to sign on as the SYSAD user. (Alternatively, click Use specific server credentials, then enter a valid username and password.)

    The Create New Enterprise Server dialog box appears.

  5. Type JCLDEMO in the Name field.
  6. If you plan to create a 64-bit JCL application, check the 64-bit box, otherwise leave it unchecked.
  7. Click the browse button next to the Template field.

    This opens the location of the Enterprise Developer server templates, which is VSInstallDir\IDE\Extensions\nnnnnnnn.nnn\Etc\ServerTemplates\ by default.

  8. Select JCLTemplate.xml, and click Open.
  9. Click OK.

    The Output window displays notification that the server has been created. If the Output window is not displayed, select View > Output.

  10. In Server Explorer, expand localhost to check that the JCLDEMO server has been added. By using the template, the server already has the necessary options selected for MSS enablement.
