Set Up the ESJCL Enterprise Server Region

Create the ESJCL enterprise server region

Start the Server Explorer

The Server Explorer expandable ribbon is visible in Visual Studio on the top left side of the IDE by default when using Enterprise Developer. However, if it is not visible:

• In Visual Studio, click View > Server Explorer.

Attention: You might encounter an Enterprise Server Sign On dialog box as you perform the steps required to create, configure, start, or stop an enterprise server instance from the Server Explorer. If you do, ensure that the Server requires credentials, Use specific server credentials, or Server is secured box is unchecked, and then click OK. Also, if prompted to disable password recovery, click No.

Create the enterprise server region

1. In the Server Explorer, expand Micro Focus Servers.
2. Right-click localhost, and click New Enterprise Server.

   The Create New Enterprise Server dialog box appears.

3. Type ESJCL into the Name field.
4. Click the browse button next to the Template field, and browse to the location of the Enterprise Developer server templates, which is VSInstallDir\IDE\Extensions\nnnnnnnn.nnn\Etc\ServerTemplates by default.
5. Select JCLTemplate.xml, and click Open.
6. On the Associate with projects list, check JCLDEMO.
   Note: Until you associate the region with a project, the JES functionality within the region will not work properly.
7. Click OK.

   The Output window displays notification that the server has been created. If the Output window is not displayed, select View > Output.

8. In the Server Explorer, expand localhost to check that the ESJCL server has been added. By using the template, the server already has the necessary options selected for MSS enablement.

Define a batch initiator SEP

The JCL template that you used to create the ESJCL enterprise server region includes a default initiator named INITALL. You need to modify INITALL for your application.

To modify INITALL to be a class B initiator that starts automatically:

1. In the Server Explorer, right-click Micro Focus Servers; then click Administration.

   This opens the Enterprise Server Common Web Administration (ESCWA) in a browser outside of the IDE.

2. In ESCWA, in the navigation pane, click Directory Servers > Default.
3. In the list of servers, in the row that contains ESJCL, click the (Edit) button.

   This opens the General Properties page of the server's properties.

4. Click the JES tab in the taskbar at the top of the properties pane to access the JES Configuration settings.
5. In the Initiators section, click the (Edit) button for the INITALL initiator and change it as follows:

   Field	Value	Comment
   Name	INITB	Not case sensitive – gets folded to upper case
   Class	B	Not case sensitive – gets folded to upper case
   Description	Initiator for class B job

6. Click Save in the JES Initiator window.
7. Click Default under Directory Servers in the left-hand pane of the browser to return to the list of servers.
