Set up the ESACCT Enterprise Server Region

Provides step-by-step instructions for creating the ESACCT 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 region 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 ESACCT enterprise server region

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

    This opens the Create New Enterprise Server dialog box.

  3. Type ESACCT in the Name field.
  4. Check 64-bit.
  5. Click the browse button next to the Template field.

    This action usually opens the location of the Enterprise Developer server templates which is VSInstallDir\IDE\Extensions\nnnnnnnn.nnn\Etc\ServerTemplates by default, where VSInstallDir is your Visual Studio installation directory. If a different directory is opened, browse to the default templates directory.

  6. Double-click the CICSTemplate.xml file to select it.
  7. On the Create New Enterprise Server dialog box, check ACCT in the Associate with projects box; then click OK.
  8. In the Server Explorer, expand Micro Focus Servers > localhost to check that the ESACCT enterprise server region has been added to the list under localhost.
