Enterprise Developer provides an integration of
Enterprise Server with
Eclipse inside the Server Explorer
view.
Server Explorer displays the following hierarchical structure:
- ESCWA node: the top level node is a connection to an ESCWA. If this ESCWA is secured, you need to enter sign-on credentials to
view its contents. You can configure connections to more than one ESCWA.
- Micro Focus directory server node: when you expand the ESCWA node, the directory server connections configured in ESCWA are displayed. If a directory
server is secured, you need to enter sign-on credentials to view its contents.
- Enterprise server node: when you expand a directory server connections node, the individual enterprise server nodes are displayed, from which
you can perform a number of operations (see list below), or expand the node to view the server's local catalog.
You can use the IDE to:
- Connect to a local or a remote
Enterprise Server Common Web Administration and to local and remote Directory Servers.
- Open the ESCWA browser page.
- Create enterprise servers directly from within the IDE -
Enterprise Developer provides pre-configured server templates as well as temporary servers if you need to quickly create a server and deploy one
or more projects to it.
- Export server definitions in XML format or as ZIP archives.
- Import servers using their definition files.
- Start and stop servers.
- Associate servers with
a Mainframe Subsystem
project from Server Explorer.
- View the server catalog and spool files when debugging or running an application.
- View the CICS resources of a server.
- View the server logs about creating, starting or stopping a server and, for local servers, view the
Enterprise Server console log. The information from the log is shown in the
Console view.
