Set Up the ESCORS Enterprise Server Region

Start the Server Explorer

Start Enterprise Server Common Web Administration (ESCWA)

• On the Server Explorer, right-click Micro Focus Servers, and then click Administration.

  ESCWA starts in your default browser.

Create ESCORS

In this section, you create the ESCORS enterprise server instance from the ESCWA Administration page.

1. In ESCWA, click NATIVE.
2. In the navigation pane, expand Directory Servers, and then click Default.
3. Click NEW in the middle pane.
4. In the Name field, type ESCORS.
5. Uncheck MSS Enabled.
6. Click Save.

Configure ESCORS

By default, your new enterprise server instance is already configured for the CORS architectural style; however, you must make some adjustments, which include enabling dynamic debugging, setting an endpoint address for the Web Services and J2EE listener, and if you do not have Administrator privileges to the Enterprise Developer installation folder, defining a deployment folder.

Enable Dynamic Debugging

1. On REGION AND SERVER LIST page, click the Edit icon that corresponds to the ESCORS server.
2. Under STARTUP OPTIONS, check Allow Dynamic Debugging.
3. Click APPLY.

Configure Listeners

1. In the navigation pane, be sure that ESCORS is selected.
2. On the GENERAL drop-down list, select Listeners.
3. Expand Communications Process 1, and click Web Services and J2EE.
4. In the Hostname or IP Address field, type localhost.
5. In the Port field, type 9003.
6. Click APPLY.
7. Click the Web communication process.
8. Change the value of the Requested Status field to Stopped. This enables deployment of a REST service interface.
9. Click APPLY.

Create and configure a deployment directory

Create the deploy directory

Without Administrator privileges, you cannot deploy to Enterprise Server from the default Enterprise Developer deployment folder. To ensure successful deployment, create a deploy subdirectory in your project.

1. In the Solution Explorer, right-click the project, and then select Add > New Folder from the context menu.
2. Type deploy; then press Enter.

Import the .mfdeploy file

The new deploy folder must contain the .mfdeploy configuration file. You import the file from the Solution Explorer.

1. From the Solution Explorer, right-click the deploy folder; then select Add > Existing Item.
2. Browse to the %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Micro Focus\Enterprise Developer\deploy folder.
3. Set the filter drop-down list to All Files (*.*).
4. Double-click the .mfdeploy file.

Define the deployment directory in ESCWA

Now you need to configure your enterprise server instance by defining the new deploy project folder as the deployment folder.

1. In ESCWA click NATIVE.
2. In the ESCWA navigation pane, expand Directory Servers > Default, and then select your enterprise server instance.
3. On the GENERAL drop-down list, select Listeners.
4. Expand Communications Process 1, and click Web.
5. In the LISTENER PROPERTIES pane, scroll down to the Custom Configuration field; then within the field, scroll down until you find the relevant code, then change:

   uploads=<ES>/deploy

   to:

   uploads=c:/tutorials/IMTK/project-name/deploy

   where project-name is the name of the project.

6. Click APPLY.
