You can only create
enterprise servers on your local machine.
- In Server Explorer, right-click the required directory server connection node, and select
New > Enterprise Server.
- Enter a name in the
Name field.
- Check the
64-bit check box if you need to create a 64-bit server.
- Click
Browse to the right of the
Template field, then navigate to the folder that stores enterprise server template XML files.
By default, this is the
%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Micro Focus\Enterprise Developer\etc\ServerTemplates folder.
The templates supplied in this folder are the basis for enterprise servers, with the appropriate Mainframe Subsystem Support
and CICS, Job Entry Subsystem, or IMS support enabled. For applications that need an enterprise server to run but do not use
Mainframe Subsystem Support you need to use the
ESTemplate.xml template. You can create additional templates by exporting an active MFDS process repository using the
mfds command. See the
mfds topic for more information.
- Select a template and click
Open.
- If the server template you selected includes CICS support, you can specify a
CICS Resource definition location for the
dfhdrdat file to use with the server as follows:
- Leave this blank if you want to use the default
dfhdrdat file supplied in the
etc\cas subfolder of the product installation. To be able to modify the default file, you need to start the server with Administrator
rights.
- Micro Focus recommends that you use a
dfhdrdat other than the one available in the installation so that you can make changes to it without Administrator rights. Use this
field to specify the location of that file.
If you specify a local folder and file, and either of those elements do not already exist, they are created automatically.
If you specify a remote folder and file, both of those elements must already exist.
- In the
Associate with pane, select the projects to associate with the server.
- Click
Finish.
The new enterprise server is created and associated with the selected projects.
