Set Up the ESACCTSV Enterprise Server Region

Provides step-by-step instructions to complete the creation and configuration of the ESACCTSV enterprise server region on which to run the ACCT Web-enabled application.

Start the Server Explorer

The Server Explorer view is visible by default when using the Team Developer perspective, and appears as a tab on the same level as the Application Explorer view. However, if it is not visible:

  • In Eclipse, click Window > Show View > Other > Micro Focus > Server Explorer, and then click Open.
Attention: You might encounter an ESCWA Sign On dialog box as you perform the steps required to create, configure, start, or stop an enterprise server region from the Server Explorer. If you do, ensure that the Server requires credentials, Use specific server credentials, or Server is secured , and the Store credentials boxes are unchecked, and then click OK. If asked to provide a password, enter your UNIX logon password.

Create the ESACCTSV enterprise server region

  1. In the Server Explorer, expand Local [localhost:10086], right-click Default [127.0.0.1:86], and then select New > Enterprise Server.
  2. In the Name field, type ESACCTSV. This is the name for the new enterprise server region.
  3. Click the Browse button that corresponds to the Template field.
  4. Double-click CICSTemplate.xml. This populates the Template field.
    Note: If CICSTemplate.xml is not on the list, browse to the $COBDIR/etc directory to locate the file.
  5. On the list next to Associate with projects, check ACCTWEB.
  6. Click Finish.

    After refreshing, the Server Explorer shows the ESACCTSV enterprise server region listed under Local [localhost:10086] > Default [127.0.0.1:86].

    Note: If ESACCTSV is not showing, expand Local [localhost:10086] > Default [127.0.0.1:86].

Configure the ESACCTSV enterprise server region

Start Enterprise Server Common Web Administration (ESCWA)
  • From the Server Explorer, right-click Local [localhost:10086]; then select Open Administration Page. This starts the ESCWA UI in a browser outside of the IDE.
  • Click Native.
  • In the navigation pane, expand Directory Server > Default to see the ESACCTSV enterprise server region in the list of servers.
Define environment variables
  1. On the Region and Server List page in the right pane, hover the row for the ESACCTSV entry in the list of servers, and click Edit Edit.

    This action opens the General Properties page of the server's properties.

  2. Type the following into the Configuration Information field:
    [ES-Environment]

    This indicates that the information that follows defines environment variables that are specific to the region. Next, you define an environment variable to represent your project directory.

  3. On the next line down, type:
    IDE_PROJECT_LOC=EclipseWorkspacePath/ACCTWEB

    Where EclipseWorkspacePath is the fully qualified path to your Eclipse workspace.

    To use a defined environment variable in the value definition of another environment variable or as the value in other Enterprise Server Administration fields, you precede the name of the variable with a dollar sign ($). You can use the IDE_PROJECT_LOC environment variable to help define the next variable.

  4. On the next line down, type:
    ES_DOCTEMPLATE_PATH=$IDE_PROJECT_LOC/html

    This variable is used in the template definition for the DOCUMENT created in this tutorial: ACCTMP1, defined in the DFHWEB resource group.

    Note: When you create your enterprise server region using the CICS template as you have done in this tutorial, Enterprise Server generates and stores several environment variables based on the information in the associated project. For example, in this region, the IDE_LOADLIB environment variable has been generated and is set to the directory you defined as the output directory in the ACCTWEB Enterprise Developer project. Therefore, IDE_LOADLIB is equal to the loadlib subdirectory of your project directory, or EclipseWorkSpacePath/ACCTWEB/loadlib. The definitions for generated environment variables do not show in the Configuration Information field, however.
  5. Click Apply.
Set the location of your resource definition file
Earlier in this tutorial, you imported the resource definition file, dfhdrdat, as you imported the demonstration application. Now you need to tell the ESACCTSV region where to find that file.
  1. Click CICS in the taskbar at the top of General Properties page to access the CICS Configuration page.
  2. In the Resource Definition File Path field, type:
    $IDE_PROJECT_LOC/system
  3. Click Apply.
Configure the TN3270 listener
The endpoint address for the TN3270 listener defines the port number used when you connect to the enterprise server region using the Host Access for the Cloud TN3270 emulator.
  1. Click General > Listeners

    This takes you to the Communications Server Properties page.

  2. Scroll down to the Listeners section.
  3. Click Edit (Edit) on the row of the TN3270 listener.
  4. In the Hostname or IP Address field, type *.
  5. In the Port field, type 5239.
  6. Click Apply.
