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. In Eclipse, open the Server Explorer view.

   If it is not visible, to display it click Window > Show View > Other, type Server Explorer, select the view and click OK.

2. Right-click Local [localhost:86] in Server Explorer and click New > Enterprise Server.
3. In the New Enterprise Server dialog box, specify AACT in the Name field.
   Note: At some point in the process of creating a new enterprise server region, you might be prompted to provide connection details by an Enterprise Server Sign On dialog box. This is a standard security dialog box. Click OK without specifying any sign on details. Also, if prompted to disable password recovery, click No.
4. Click the browse button on the row of the Template field.

   This opens the location of the Enterprise Server templates shipped with Enterprise Developer - by default, these are in %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Micro Focus\Enterprise Developer\etc\ServerTemplates.

5. Select the CICSTemplate.xml file, and click Open.

   This template creates an enterprise server with Mainframe Subsystem Support configured for CICS.

6. Check the AACT box to associate the new enterprise server region with the AACT project.
7. Click Finish to create the server.

   Server Explorer refreshes the localhost node to show the AACT server. You now need to configure the server.
