Configure an Enterprise Server

This tutorial uses a preconfigured enterprise server rather than a manually created enterprise server.

To import the preconfigured enterprise server:

In the IDE, from Server Explorer, right-click Micro Focus Servers, and click Administration. The Enterprise Server Administration page is displayed within the IDE.
On the Home page of the Enterprise Server Administration, under Actions at the left, click Import. The first Import server information screen appears.
Enter the path where the predefined server data is stored. By default this is %PUBLIC%\Documents\Micro Focus\Enterprise Developer\Samples\OPEN-PLI\CICSDemo\staff_def.
Click Next.
Continue to click Next through the Import server information screens. On the final Import server information screen, click OK.

The selected server appears in the Enterprise Server Administration Home page server table. The server is named STAFF. Click Edit to the left of the row for the STAFF server to review the server settings and make corrections in case the information differs from the one in this tutorial.

In the General tab, the Configuration Information field includes the following:

[ES-Environment]
CICSDEMO=%PUBLIC%\Documents\Micro Focus\Enterprise Developer\Samples\OPEN-PLI\CICSDEMO
ES_SSTM_CICS="$CICSDEMO\sstmcics.jcl"
CODEWATCH_NOTIF=Y

On the MSS tab, and on the CICS tab, CICS is enabled and the following paths are set:

Path	Value
Transaction Path	$CICSDEMO\cicsrdef
File Path	$CICSDEMO\cicsrdef
Map Path	$CICSDEMO\cicsrdef\
Resource Definition File Path	$CICSDEMO\cicsrdef

On the MSS tab, click JES and then on the General tab, ensure Job Entry Subsystem enabled is checked and the following paths are set:

Path	Value
JES Program Path	$CICSDEMO\cicsrdef
System Catalog	$CICSDEMO\cicsrdef\catalog.dat
Default Allocated Dataset Location	$CICSDEMO\cicsrdef\

Leave the other fields blank.

On the JES tab, click Initiators and notice the initiator that has been set for this application.

Click the MSS tab, then click the PL/I tab. The PL/I enabled check box is selected and the following paths are set:

Path	Value
Codewatch source path(s)	$CICSDEMO;$CICSDEMO\include
Codewatch STB path(s)	$CICSDEMO\cicsrdef;$CICSDEMO\bin\Debug
PL/I Configuration directory	$CICSDEMO

Note: These settings are only valid if you have installed Enterprise Developer to the default directory. Do the following if you have installed to a different location or a drive other than the default:

Click the General tab and create an entry in the Configuration Information field to set the CICSDEMO variable to the location of the CICS PL/I sample.

Click the Listeners tab and check the settings for the TN3270 listener. The port to which the terminal emulator connects is 5150.
