Enterprise Server Administration Home Page

Important: Use the Help > This Page option in the left side-bar to display up-to-date context help on the current Enterprise Server screen. To access up-to-date Enterprise Server product help, go to the Micro Focus Product Documentation site.

This is the Enterprise Server Administration home page that lists the Enterprise Server instances. It is displayed:

When you have just logged onto Enterprise Server Administration
Any time you click Home at the top of the menu bar on another page.

You use this page as a starting point for all the administration functions. From it you can:

Add a server
Change the attributes of a server
Change the status of a server
Go to a more detailed view of the listeners, services, request handlers and implementation packages.

Note: The options available to you depend on the permissions granted to the user groups of which your user account is a member. Those options that are not available to you are hidden.

Use the side bar menu items to access your installation's configuration options, maintained on the Micro Focus Directory Server (MFDS).

Type

Shows the server type. There are two types of server:

MFES
A Micro Focus enterprise server. This is a server type that provides a run-time environment for COBOL programs running as services. MSS in parentheses after MFES indicates that the server has Mainframe Subsystem Support (MSS) enabled.
MFCCI
A Micro Focus Common Communications Interface server. This is a server that provides services using the Common Communications Interface (CCI), using the Directory Server as a naming service instead of registering with a CCITCP2 process.

The icon in the Type column will display '64' if the server has been set up for 64-bit working mode.

You can start and stop enterprise servers using Enterprise Server Administration. You cannot start and stop MFCCI servers from Enterprise Server Administration; if an MFCCI server is running on the network and has been configured to use the Directory Server, it appears in the list of servers automatically, with the status "registered". For more information about CCI, see your Configuring CCI book.

Name

Shows the name of the server.

Current Status

Shows the current status of this server. The possible values are:

Stopped	The server is currently not running.
Stopping	The server is currently in the process of terminating. This is normally a short-lived status value which should be shortly followed by a change to the value "Stopped".
Started	The server is currently running and can respond to client and server requests.
Starting	The server is currently in the process of starting. This is normally a short-lived status value which should be shortly followed by a change to the value "Started".
Not Responding	The server process was previously marked as "Started", but the server monitor has subsequently not been able to contact it. There may be some network connection error, or the server itself may have abnormally terminated without first marking itself as "Stopped".
Invalid	An error has occurred such that it has not been possible to set the status to any other value.
Registered	This status is applicable only to CCI servers. It indicates that the Directory Server has been notified that a CCI server has started.

Start

Click this to start the server. You cannot see this push button unless the server has the status "Stopped" .

Current Status Details

Click this to move to a page giving more detailed information about the current status of the server. You cannot see this push button when the server has the status "Stopped".

Stop

Click this to start the server. You cannot see this push button unless the server has the status "Started" or "Not Responding".

Communications Processes

Lists the communications processes owned by the enterprise server. By default an enterprise server owns one communications process; you can create additional ones. For each process the following information is shown:

The number of the process. Numbers are allocated from 1 sequentially.
The network address used by the communications process to accept incoming client requests. The format is:
protocol:ip-address:port

where:
- protocol is tcp.
- ip-address is the IP address of the server listener. An asterisk (*) indicates that the address is dynamically assigned for the enterprise server when it starts.
- port is the port value. An asterisk (*) indicates that the port is dynamically assigned for the enterprise server when it starts.
The TCP/IP hostname that is equivalent to the IP address.

The total number of listeners owned by all the communications processes.

Listeners Details

Click this to move to a page giving more detailed information about the service listeners owned by the communications processes.

Licenses

Shows license information. The number before the slash is the number of licenses allocated to this server. When the server is stopped a dash is displayed, because the number of licenses that will be allocated is unknown until the server is started. When the server is running an asterisk can be displayed, indicating that unlimited licenses were allocated. The number after the slash is the number of licenses requested by this server.

Last Status Change

Shows the date and time that the server's current status was last updated; this is local to the machine where the Directory Server is running. You can see this only in the expanded view of the Home page.

Status Log

Shows information about the most recent event that occurred on this server, and how long the server has been in its current state.

Objects

Shows how many of each type of object (services, handlers, packages) the server owns. This is a summary view - it changes when you click the Expand + icon button

Services

Shows a list of the service operations registered with the Directory Server. If there are more than five, only the first five are shown.
