Configure the Enterprise Server

Now you need to configure your enterprise server instance to enable it to run AACT Assembler/CICS application.

1. In Server Explorer, right-click Micro Focus Servers and click Administration.

   This opens the home page of Enterprise Server Administration in the IDE.

2. Click Edit on the row for AACT.
3. You need to set these two environment variables:

   BASE=c:\tutorials\AACT	Provides your enterprise server with the path to your project files
   ES_MFASM_SUPPORT=Y	Enables Assembler for CICS regions

   To do this, type the following into the Configuration Information field on the General page:

   [ES-Environment]
   BASE=c:\tutorials\AACT
   ES_MFASM_SUPPORT=Y

4. Click Apply.
5. Click the Listeners tab.
6. Click Edit on the row for the TN3270 listener.
7. Change the Endpoint Address field to *:9004 and click OK.

   This is the port number used when you connect to the enterprise server with your TN3270 emulator.

8. Click the Server tab.
9. In the Description field, type a description of the new enterprise server, for example Assembler AACT Tutorial.
10. Click Apply at the bottom of the page.
11. Go to the Server > Properties > MSS > CICS tab.

    Some of the values on this page have definitions that come from the enterprise server template you used. You need to replace them with values that are needed for your application.

12. Type ASMSIT into the System Initialization Table field. The ASMSIT is provided for you and contains all of the resource information necessary to run the AACT application.
13. In the Transaction Path field, specify the location of the generated output files:

    $BASE\bin\x86\debug

14. In the File Path field, specify the location of the AACT files:

    $BASE

15. In the Map Path field, specify the location for BMS output files:

    $BASE\bin\x86\debug

16. In the Resource Definition File Path field, specify the location of your dfhdrdat resource definition file:

    $BASE\system

17. Click Apply.

    At this point you have enabled Assembler and CICS support for this enterprise server and specified the appropriate resources and locations of the relevant files.

18. In Enterprise Developer, close Enterprise Server Administration.
