Specifying IDE configuration options for Enterprise Server

The Enterprise Server options you specify determine the behavior when using the IDE to debug a mainframe subsystem project.
  1. Click Window > Preferences.
  2. Expand Micro Focus, then click Enterprise Server.
  3. Check or uncheck the available options, as appropriate:
    Automatically start the associated server
    Start the enterprise server that is associated with your project when debugging starts.
    Automatically stop servers started by Eclipse when closing Eclipse
    Stops any running enterprise servers when you close the IDEs.
    Automatically restart server when project output locations change
    Restarts an enterprise server after reconfiguring the location of built artefacts.
    Automatically create a temporary server
    Creates a temporary enterprise server and associates it with the project if, when debugging starts, the project is not associated with any enterprise server. When you close the project, the server is deleted.
    Automatically enable dynamic debugging
    Enables dynamic debugging for the enterprise server that is associated with your project.

    Dynamic debugging needs to be enabled before you can debug an enterprise server application. If it is not, you must enable it and restart the enterprise server before you can debug. This option is the same as the Allow Dynamic Debugging option available when you edit an enterprise server from within Enterprise Server Administration.

  4. Click Apply and Close.
