To create a new enterprise server

You can only create enterprise server instances on your local machine.

  1. In Server Explorer, right-click localhost under Micro Focus Servers, then click New Enterprise Server, or in Solution Explorer, right-click a project, point to Enterprise Server, then click New Server.

    The Create New Enterprise Server screen appears.

  2. Enter a name in the Name field.
  3. Check the 64-bit check box if you need to create a 64-bit server.
  4. Click Ellipsis to the right of the Template field, then navigate to the folder that stores enterprise server template XML files.

    By default, this is the VSInstallDir\IDE\Extensions\nnnnnnnn.nnn\Etc\ServerTemplates\ folder. Visual COBOL provides the ESTemplate.xml template that enables you to create a fully configured enterprise server region. You can create additional templates by exporting an active MFDS process repository using the mfds command. See the mfds topic for more information.

  5. Select a template and click OK.
  6. In the Associate with pane, select the projects to associate with the server.
  7. Click OK.

    The new enterprise server is created and associated with the selected projects.
