Walks you through the process of creating a deployment folder and configuring ESDEMO to use it.
Restriction: This topic applies only when the Enterprise Server feature is enabled.
To successfully deploy and run or debug a Java service interface, you must have an
enterprise server instance started in
Enterprise Server. For these tutorials, we provide the ESDEMO
enterprise server instance.
Important: The default deployment directory used by
Enterprise Server is a subdirectory,
deploy, within your
Visual COBOL installation directory structure. If you have Administrator privileges to this subdirectory, or if you started
Visual Studio using
Run as Administrator, you are not required to complete the following tasks. Otherwise, you must complete them to create and configure an alternative deployment directory.
Start
Enterprise Server Administration
- From Server Explorer in
Visual COBOL, right-click
Micro Focus Servers; then click
Administration.
The Enterprise Server Administration Home page starts in an
Visual COBOL window.
Configure a Deployment Directory
- Create the
deploy folder
- Without Administrator privileges, you cannot deploy to
Enterprise Server from the default
Visual COBOL deployment folder. To ensure successful deployment, create a
deploy folder in your
ProgramEJB project.
- In the
Solution Explorer, right-click the project, and then select
Add > New Folder from the context menu.
- 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.
- From the
Solution Explorer, right-click the
deploy folder; then select
Add > Existing Item.
- Browse to the
%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Micro Focus\Visual COBOL\deploy folder.
- Set the filter drop-down list to
All Files (*.*).
- Double-click the
.mfdeploy file.
- Define the Deployment Directory
- Now you need to configure the ESDEMO instance by defining the new
deploy project folder as the deployment folder.
- On the
Enterprise Server Administration Home page in the
Communications Processes column for your
enterprise server instance, click the
Details button that corresponds to
Listeners.
- Click the
Listeners tab.
- In the row for the
Web listener name, click
Edit.
- Change the value of the
New Status field to
Stopped. This enables the listener used to deploy the service interface to the ESDEMO server.
- Scroll down to the
Configuration Information field; then within the field, scroll down until you find the relevant code, then change:
uploads=<ES>/deploy
to:
uploads=ProjectFolder/deploy
where
ProjectFolder is the full path to your project folder, using forward slashes to separate subfolders. For example:
uploads=c:/tutorials/solution-name/project-name/deploy
- Click
OK.
- Click
Home to return to the Home page.
