Guides you through the process of configuring
CWSDEMO resources, and installing and verifying those resources.
Start the Server Explorer
The
Server Explorer expandable ribbon is visible in Visual Studio on the top left side of the IDE by default when using
Enterprise Developer. However, if it is not visible:
- In Visual Studio, click
View > Server Explorer.
Attention: You might encounter an
Enterprise Server Sign On dialog box as you perform the steps required to create, configure, start, or stop an
enterprise server region from the
Server Explorer. If you do, ensure that the
Server requires credentials,
Use specific server credentials, or

box is
unchecked, and then click
OK.
Also, if prompted to disable password recovery, click
No.
Configure
CWSDEMO resources

previous tutorial, you need to add the appropriate resources to the
CWSDEMO
enterprise server region's
startup list and add and configure additional resources required by the CICS program.
- Start the
CWSDEMO
enterprise server region

Server Explorer,
if the
CWSDEMO
enterprise server region is not already started,right-click
CWSDEMO, and select

Install and verify resources
You can install the new resources by stopping and starting the region.
- On the
Server Explorer, right-click
CWSDEMO; then select
Restart. This stops and then starts the
CWSDEMO
enterprise server region, automatically installing and loading the newly added resources on the startup list.
