Use this page to change the basic configurable attributes of an enterprise server instance.
To access this page:
Specify the unique name of the server, up to 8 characters. You can change the name only if the server has the status "Stopped". You cannot include angle brackets (<>) or ampersands (&) in the name.
Specify the location for system work files output by the Enterprise Server, such as the console log, and trace and dump diagnostics files. This directory cannot be shared between Enterprise Servers. The default is $COBDIR/var/mfcobol/es/WORKAREA/es-name, where es-name is the name of the enterprise server.
If you specify a directory in this field, that directory must exist; COBOL Server does not create it for you.
Shows whether this Enterprise Server is to run 32-bit or 64-bit applications.
A 32-bit working mode server can run only 32-bit applications. A 64-bit working mode server can run only 64-bit applications.
You cannot change the working mode of the server once it has been created; you can, however, change the mode when you copy or import a server.
Use these fields to specify the server configuration you want when the server first starts up. Any changes you make to these fields while a server is running do not take effect until the next time you start the server.
Specify the number of shared pages in memory to be reserved for all the processes that run in the Directory Server. Each page is 4 KB long.
Specify the number of service execution processes that are to be started at server initialization.
Specify the number of 4KB pages that should be reserved from the shared memory pages to allow the server to continue processing when the shared memory allocation is too small for the operational requirements of the server. The range is 1 through the number of shared memory pages.
Specify the number of licenses this enterprise server requires.
Check this if you want to see a text window containing enterprise server messages while the server is running. the messages are written to a file called console.log, in the directory specified in System Directory. You can see the text window only on the machine running the enterprise server. The system messages are also available on the Enterprise Server Console page.
Check this if you want to use a local or remote IDE to debug applications running in this enterprise server.
Check this if you want to start the ES server when the MF Directory Server process is started. The MF Directory Server process (mfds) is usually started at system startup (e.g. on Windows it is registered as a system service by default). Typical usage is to ensure a set of ES servers are re-started automatically if a machine is re-booted. If security is enabled and the default credentials are disabled, ensure valid credentials are specified in the server "Security" properties "Automated Execution Control Enterprise Server Credentials" section.
This box is for information only and will be checked if the server has a working mode of 64-bit.
Check this if you want to remove existing console.nnn backups.
Specify the maximum size of the console.log. Once this size is reached, it will be backed up as console.nnn (with nnn being incremented with each new backup) and subsequent messages will be logged to a new console.log. If set to 0, a single console.log will be created (if one already exists on startup, this will be backed up as console.bak).
Specify textual configuration information that determines the startup and run-time behavior of the server. Optional. Prefix comments with the number sign (#).
Specify a text description of the server, for example, its purpose and owner. Optional.

Click this to create a new server that is identical to this server apart from its name.
Click this to delete this server.
Click this to generate a Validation report for this server. The Validation report informs you of any server configuration errors.
