To create an IMS-enabled enterprise server from the Enterprise Developer IDE

  1. From the Enterprise Developer IDE, open Server Explorer.

    If it is hidden, display it by choosing View > (Other Windows >) Server Explorer.

  2. Expand Micro Focus Servers.
  3. Right-click localhost, and click New Enterprise Server.

    This starts the Create New Enterprise Server dialog.

  4. Typea name for your enterprise server instance into the Name field.
  5. Check either 32-bit or 64-bit.
  6. Click the browse button next to the Template field.

    This opens the location of the Enterprise Developer server templates which is VSInstallDir\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Micro Focus\Visual COBOL SOA\1.0\Etc\ServerTemplates by default.

  7. Select IMSTemplate.xml, and click Open.
  8. In the Associate with projects box, check an IMS project that contains the application you want to run on the new enterprise server.
  9. Click OK.

    The Output window displays a notification that the server has been created.

  10. In Server Explorer, expand localhost to check that the new enterprise server has been added to localhost.
