Create an Enterprise Server

To successfully run your new AACT application, you must first create a new enterprise server instance configured for Mainframe Subsystem Support, and with Assembler enabled.

  1. Start Server Enterprise Edition Administration using one of the following methods:
    • From the Visual Studio Server Explorer: Right-click Micro Focus Servers and choose Administration from the context menu. This starts Server Enterprise Edition Administration in a Visual Studio window.
    • From the Start menu: Click Start > All Programs > Micro Focus Studio Enterprise Edition x.x > Configuration > Enterprise Server Administration. This starts Server Enterprise Edition Administration in a browser outside of the IDE.
    • From your browser: Enter http://localhost:86 into the Address field.
  2. Click Add.
  3. In the Server Name field, type AACT.
  4. Choose 32-bit for the Working mode option; then click Next.
  5. In the Server Type group, click Micro Focus Enterprise Server with Mainframe Subsystem Support; then click Next.
  6. In the Startup Options group, check Show Local Console. This enables you to see the Server Enterprise Edition Console Daemon when you start up the enterprise server.
  7. In the Creation Options group, ensure that Set TN3270 listener is checked; then enter 9004 into the Using port field. This is the port number used when you connect to the enterprise server with your TN3270 emulator.
  8. You need to set these two environment variables:
    BASE=c:\tutorials\AACT Provides your enterprise server with the path to your Visual Studio project files
    ES_MFASM_SUPPORT=Y Enables Assembler for CICS regions
    To do this, type the following into the Configuration Information field:
    [ES-Environment]
    BASE=c:\tutorials\AACT
    ES_MFASM_SUPPORT=Y
  9. In the Description field, type a description of the new enterprise server, for example Assembler AACT Tutorial.
  10. Click Add.

    This displays the Server Enterprise Edition Administration Home page with your new AACT server in the list of the available enterprise servers.
