Walks you through the process of configuring the provided ESDEMO
enterprise server instance by adding a deployment directory and configuring ESDEMO to use it.
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
Enterprise Developer 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 this section of the tutorial. Otherwise, you must complete this section to create and configure an alternative deployment directory.
Start
Enterprise Server Administration
- To view the
Server Explorer, click
Server Explorer on the far-left ribbon in the Visual Studio IDE.
- On the
Server Explorer, right-click
Micro Focus Servers, and then click
Administration.
The Enterprise Server Administration
Home page starts in a Visual Studio window.
Note: The
Server Explorer ribbon is visible in Visual Studio by default when using
Enterprise Developer. However, if it is not visible:
- In Visual Studio, click
View > Server Explorer.
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.
- 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\Enterprise Developer\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 your
enterprise server 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.
- In the row for the
Web listener name, click
Edit.
- 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=c:/tutorials/IMTK/project-name/deploy
where
project-name is the name of the project.
- Click
OK.
- Click
Home to return to the
Home page.
