Create and configure the Enterprise Server

A new Enterprise Server hosts the CICS environment.
  1. Click Start > All Programs > Micro Focus Enterprise Developer > Tools > Enterprise Developer Command Prompt (32-bit). The Enterprise Developer command prompt appears.
  2. Create a new CICS resource definition file by entering: caspcrd /c /dp=C:\CTG\CTGDEMO\system into the command prompt you just opened. A sequence of messages appears in the window, culminating in the message: Resource file created successfully.
  3. Within Enterprise Developer, select Window > Show View > Server Explorer, right-click Local [localhost:10086] and select Open Administration Page. This opens the Enterprise Server Common Web Administration (ESCWA) user interface.
    Note: If the Local server connection is not displayed:
    1. In the Server Explorer view, click Create a new connection to an existing Enterprise Server Common Web Administration instance (Create a new connection...), or right-click and select New > Enterprise Server Common Web Administration Connection.

      The New Enterprise Server Common Web Administration Connection dialog box is displayed.

    2. In the Name field, type Local.
    3. In the Server address field, type localhost.
    4. In the Server port field, leave the default as 10086.
    5. If the server connection is TLS-enabled, select TLS Enabled, and then click Browse and select the appropriate certificate.
      Note: If TLS Enabled is selected, but you do not specify a certificate, the default Java keystore is searched for a valid one.
    6. Click Finish.

      A connection attempt is made, and if successful, the new ESCWA connection is displayed at the top level, in the Server Explorer.

  4. In ESCWA, to create a new enterprise server region click Native.
  5. In the navigation pane, click Directory Server > Default.
  6. Click * New This displays the New Region dialog box.
  7. In the Name field, type CTGDEMO. Check MSS Enabled.
