Configure and Start the Enterprise Server

Now that you have created an enterprise server for our CICS application, you need to configure the Mainframe Subsystem Support that drives CICS applications. After configuration, we start the CICSCA enterprise server in preparation for running the application.

1. On the Enterprise Server Administration Home page, click the Edit button that corresponds to the CICSCA enterprise server.
2. Click the MSS tab.
3. In the Transaction Path field, type IMTKTutorialsLocation\CICSCommareaWS\bin\x86\Debug, where IMTKTutorialsLocation is the location you specified when you created the IMTKTutorials solution.
4. Click Apply.
5. On the list at the left of the page, click Home to return to the Enterprise Server Administration Home page.
6. In the row that corresponds to the CICSCA enterprise server, click the Details button that corresponds to 2 Listeners.

   The listeners represent the two types of services you can run using this enterprise server.

7. Click the Edit button that corresponds to Web Services and J2EE.
8. Change the contents of the Endpoint Address field to *:9003.
9. Click OK.
10. On the list at the left of the page, click Home to return to the Enterprise Server Administration Home page.
11. In the row that corresponds to the CICSCA enterprise server, click the Start button that appears in the column labeled Status; then click OK. This displays a daemon and starts your CICS region.

    After the Enterprise Server Administration Home page refreshes itself a time or two, you should see the word Started above the Details and Stop buttons for the CICSCA enterprise server.

    Note: If any other enterprise servers are started, stop them before proceeding.
