Configure the Fileshare Server

In this walkthrough, we'll assume your Fileshare server runs on the same machine as your enterprise server. We'll create a directory to use as the Fileshare directory. Within this, we'll create a subdirectory to contain the the user files created and accessed by applications.

1. Start an application command prompt.
2. Create directory c:\fsdir and then within it create subdirectory datasets.
3. Change into the directory c:\fsdir, and enter:

    fs -s server1

   This starts a Fileshare server named server1.

   The Fileshare console window appears, as shown below.

   
   
   

   If you have the ES Admin home page visible at this point, you may notice that an entry appears for SERVER1. This is because Fileshare is implemented using Micro Focus's Common Communications Interface (CCI), and a Fileshare server is an example of a CCI server. ES Admin shows CCI servers as well as enterprise servers. The current status is shown as Registered.
