To associate a CICS.NET region with a connection

  1. Optionally, define a CICS.NET region with the MicroFocus.SEE.SqlExit user exit using the Microsoft Management Console in Server Enterprise Edition for .NET .
    Note: You can associate a CICS.NET region before defining it, but you must define it before attempting to connect to the region.
  2. Start HCO for SQL Server tools as an administrator from Start > All Programs > Micro Focus Studio Enterprise Edition x.x > HCO for SQL Server Tools.
  3. Click Manage Connections.
  4. From the Connection List tab, click New SQL Server Connection.
  5. Select Connection mode. This enables you to specify the details for your application SQL Server database connection.
  6. On this tab, specify a data source name, authentication method, user ID and password if applicable, a SQL Server instance, and the SQL Server database to which you want to connect.
  7. Click Test to verify that the connection is successful.
  8. On the SQL Server Connection tab, select CICS Region mode. This enables you to specify the details of the CICS.NET region you want to associate with this connection.
  9. Specify an authentication method, user ID and password if applicable, the SQL Server instance associated with the CICS.NET region you want to use, and the CICS region you want to associate with this connection.
  10. If you defined the CICS.NET region as specified in step 1, click Test CICS Connection to verify that the connection is successful.
  11. Click Save to create the complete connection definition. This takes you back to the Connection List tab where you now see your new connection and the CICS region with which it is associated.
