Configure and Start the ACCTWEB Region

Configure the newly created enterprise server region to support the ACCTWEB application, and start the region in preparation for running the application.

Start Enterprise Server Administration

From Server Explorer, right-click Micro Focus Servers; then select Administration. This starts Enterprise Server Administration.
Note: If a Secure Storage prompt appears, click No.

On the Home page, you should see the ACCTWEB enterprise server region listed.

Define environment variables

On the Enterprise Server Administration Home page, click the Edit button that corresponds to the ACCTWEB region.
On the Server, Properties, General tab, type the following into the Configuration Information field:
```
[ES-Environment]
```
This indicates that the information that follows defines environment variables that are specific to the region. Next, you define an environment variable to represent your project directory.
On the next line down, type:
```
IDE_PROJECT_LOC=c:\tutorials\ACCTWEB
```
To use a defined environment variable in the value definition of another environment variable or as the value in other Enterprise Server Administration fields, you precede the name of the variable with a dollar sign ($). You can use the IDE_PROJECT_LOC environment variable to help define the next variable.
On the next line down, type:
```
ES_DOCTEMPLATE_PATH=$IDE_PROJECT_LOC\html
```
This variable is used in the template definition for the DOCUMENT created in this tutorial: ACCTMP1, defined in the DFHWEB resource group.

Note: When you create your enterprise server region using the CICS template as you have done in this tutorial, Enterprise Server generates and stores several environment variables based on the information in the associated project. For example, in this region, the IDE_LOADLIB environment variable has been generated and is set to the directory you defined as the output directory in the ACCTWEB Enterprise Developer project. Therefore, IDE_LOADLIB is equal to the loadlib subdirectory of your project directory, or c:\tutorials\ACCTWEB\loadlib. The definitions for generated environment variables do not show in the Configuration Information field, however.
Click Apply.

Set the location of your resource definition file

Earlier in this tutorial, you imported the resource definition file, dfhdrdat, as you imported the demonstration application. Now you need to tell the ACCTWEB region where to find that file.

On the Server, Properties, General tab, click the MSS and then CICS tabs.
In the Resource Definition File Path field, type:
```
$IDE_PROJECT_LOC\system
```
Click Apply.

Set the TN3270 listener port

In this tutorial, you use the Rumba+ Desktop TN3270 emulator to access the CICS application. To enable communication with your enterprise server region, you need to set a port number where Enterprise Server listens for TN3270 messages.

From the Server, Properties, General, MSS, CICS tab, click the Listeners tab at the top of the page.
Click the Edit button that corresponds to TN3270.
In the Endpoint Address field, replace the second asterisk (*) with 5239 so that the entry reads *:5239.
Click Apply.
To return to the Enterprise Server Administration Home page, click Home at the top of the menu ribbon.

Start the ACCTWEB region

Back on the Server Explorer in Visual Studio, right-click ACCTWEB; then select Start.
When the region is up and running, both the Server Explorer and the entry in Enterprise Server Administration show that it is in started mode.
