Configuring an Enterprise Server

Once you have started Enterprise Server Administration, you need to configure an enterprise server to enable it to run CICS applications and to specify the location of the files it will need.

To configure an enterprise server for use with the installation verification procedure:

1. In the table of servers on the Home page of Enterprise Server Administration, click Edit to the left of the row for the server that you want to edit.
2. On the Server > Properties > General tab in the Configuration Information, type an environment specification for locating the CICS files into. For example, if your project files are all in subdirectories under C:\tutorials\CICS (Windows) or /tutorials/CICS (UNIX), type:

   For Windows environments:

   [ES-Environment]
   CICSPROJ=C:\tutorials\cics

   For UNIX environments:

   [ES-Environment]
   CICSPROJ=/tutorials/cics

   This sets a value for $CICSPROJ.

3. Click Properties > MSS.
4. Specify DEMOSIT in System Initialization Table.
5. Specify the location of the transaction programs in Transaction Path, for example, $CICSPROJ\mto-bms\debug (Windows) or $CICSPROJ/mto-bms/debug (UNIX).
6. Specify the location of the data files in VSAM File Path, for example, $CICSPROJ\mto-bms (Windows) or $CICSPROJ/mto-bms (UNIX).
7. Specify the location of the BMS maps in Map Path, for example, $CICSPROJ\mto-bms (Windows) or $CICSPROJ/mto-bms (UNIX).
8. Click OK.

   At this point you have enabled CICS support for this enterprise server and specified the location of the relevant files. The directory names used in the examples above are for illustration only - you should change them to use the directories in which the installation verification procedure files are installed on your system.

9. Click the Listeners tab.
10. Click Add in the Listeners column for Communications process 1.
11. Specify the following information to enable you to use a TN3270 emulator:

    Field	Value
    Name	tn3270
    Endpoint address	*.nnnn, where nnnn is between 5000 and 65535. Check with the system administrator to ensure you choose a number that is not used by other applications.
    Supported Conversation Type	Check TN3270

12. Click Add.
