Setting the catalog location in the enterprise server

Note: Setting this option overrides the MFSYSCAT environment variable.

In Server Explorer, right-click Local, then choose Open Administration Page.
Note: If Server Explorer is not already displayed, click Window > Show View > Server Explorer

The Enterprise Server Administration page appears.
In the Native Navigation pane, select the server that contains your local catalog.
The server details appear.
If you did not use a JES-enabled server template when creating the server, select the General tab in the right-hand pane, and then select JES Enabled from the Region Features section, and then click Apply.
Select the JES tab, and then in the System Catalog field, enter the path (including file name) to the required catalog.dat, then click Apply.
You may need to restart the server for this change to take effect.

Note: You must specify a catalog location that is on the current machine.
In Server Explorer, right-click Local, then click Refresh.
The catalog location is updated.

The location of the catalog is shown in the Properties tab.
