Configure ESDEMO

Walks you through the process of creating a deployment folder and configuring ESDEMO to use it.

Restriction: This topic applies to Windows environments (local development) only.

To successfully deploy and run (debug) a Java service interface, you must have an enterprise server instance started in Enterprise Server. For these tutorials, we provide the ESDEMO enterprise server instance. If you do not have Administrator privileges to the Enterprise Developer installation directory, or if you have not started Enterprise Developer as an administrator, before completing the remainder of these tutorials you must create a deployment directory and then configure ESDEMO to enable successful deployment.

Start Enterprise Server Administration

To start the Server Explorer, click Window > Show View > Other > Micro Focus > Server Explorer; then click OK.
From Server Explorer in Enterprise Developer, right-click Local [localhost:86]; then click Open Administration Page.
The Enterprise Server Administration Home page starts in an Enterprise Developer window.

Configure a Deployment Directory

Note: The default deployment directory used by Enterprise Server is a subfolder to your Enterprise Developer installation directory. If you have Administrator privileges to the Enterprise Developer installation directory structure, or if you started Enterprise Developer using Run as Administrator, you are not required to complete this section of the tutorial. Otherwise, you must complete this section to create and configure an alternative deployment directory.

Create the deploy folder

Without Administrator privileges, you cannot deploy to Enterprise Server from the default Enterprise Developer deployment directory. To ensure successful deployment, create a deploy folder in your ProgramEJB project.

In the Team Developer Tree View, right-click the project; then select New > Folder > Folder from the context menu.
In the Folder name field, type deploy; click Finish.

Import the .mfdeploy File

The new deploy folder must contain the .mfdeploy configuration file. You import the file from the Team Developer Tree View.

From the Team Developer Tree View, right-click the deploy folder; then select Import from the context menu.
Expand General; then click double-click FileSystem.
Click the Browse button that corresponds to the From directory field, and navigate to
```
InstallDir\deploy
```
where InstallDir is your Enterprise Developer installation directory. By default, this is %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Micro Focus\Enterprise Developer.
Click OK.
Check .mfdeploy in the right pane.
Click Finish to import the file into the project.

Define the Deployment Directory

Now you need to configure the ESDEMO instance by defining the new deploy project folder as the deployment directory.

On the Enterprise Server Administration Home page in the Communications Processes column for your enterprise server instance, click the Details button that corresponds to Listeners.
Click the Listeners tab.
In the row for the Web listener name, click Edit.
Scroll down to the Configuration Information field; then within the field, scroll down until you find the relevant code, then change:
```
uploads=<ES>/deploy
```
to:
```
uploads=ProjectDir/deploy
```
where ProjectDir is the full path to your project directory, using forward slashes to separate subdirectories. For example:
```
uploads=c:/Users/Bob/workspace/project-name/deploy
```
Click OK.
Click Home to return to the Home page.
