  You use this page as a starting point to gain access to all the administration facilities provided.

  From this page you can:

  - Add a server
  - Change the attributes of a server
  - Change the status of a server
  - Go to a more detailed view of the listeners, services, request handlers and implementation packages.

  Note: The options available to you depend on the permissions granted to the user groups of which your user account is a member. Those options that are not available to you are hidden.

  Note: For this link to work, you must be using an enterprise server that has a Web listener with the following entry in the [virtual paths] section:

      docs=<ES>/docs/html

  This enterprise server must be started.

  The default enterprise server, ESDEMO, has a web listener with this configuration information. When you create a new enterprise server, a Web listener with the required configuration information entry is automatically created.

Type

  Shows the server type. There are two types of server:

  - MFES

    A Micro Focus enterprise server. This is a server type that provides a run-time environment for COBOL programs running as services. MTO in parentheses after MFES indicates that the server has Mainframe Transaction Option (MTO) enabled.

  - MFCCI

    A Micro Focus Common Communications Interface server. This is a server that provides services using the Common Communications Interface (CCI), using the Directory Server as a naming service instead of registering with a CCITCP2 process.

  You can start and stop enterprise servers using Enterprise Server Administration. You cannot start and stop MFCCI servers from Enterprise Server Administration; if an MFCCI server is running on the network and has been configured to use the Directory Server, it appears in the list of servers automatically, with the status "registered". For more information about CCI, see your Configuring CCI book.

Name

  Shows the name of the server.

Current Status

  Shows the current status of this server. The possible values are:

  Stopped | The server is currently not running.
  Stopping | The server is currently in the process of terminating. This is normally a short-lived status value which should be shortly followed by a change to the value "Stopped".
  Started | The server is currently running and can respond to client and server requests.
  Starting | The server is currently in the process of starting. This is normally a short-lived status value which should be shortly followed by a change to the value "Started".
  Not Responding | The server process was previously marked as "Started", but the server monitor has subsequently not been able to contact it. There may be some network connection error, or the server itself may have abnormally terminated without first marking itself as "Stopped".
  Invalid | An error has occurred such that it has not been possible to set the status to any other value.
  Registered | This status is applicable only to CCI servers. It indicates that the Directory Server has been notified that a CCI server has started.

Communications Processes

  Lists the communications processes owned by the enterprise server. By default an enterprise server owns one communications process; you can create additional ones. For each process the following information is shown:

  - The number of the process. Numbers are allocated from 1 sequentially.
  - The network address used by the communications process to accept incoming client requests. The format is:

    protocol:ip-address:port

    where:

    - protocol is tcp.
    - ip-address is the IP address of the server listener. An asterisk (*) indicates that the address is dynamically assigned for the enterprise server when it starts.
    - port is the port value. An asterisk (*) indicates that the port is dynamically assigned for the enterprise server when it starts.
  - The TCP/IP hostname that is equivalent to the IP address.

  The total number of listeners owned by all the communications processes.

  Top

Listeners Details

  Click this to move to a page giving more detailed information about the service listeners owned by the communications processes.

Licenses

  Shows license information. The number before the slash is the number of licenses allocated to this server. When the server is stopped a dash is displayed, because the number of licenses that will be allocated is unknown until the server is started. When the server is running an asterisk can be displayed, indicating that unlimited licenses were allocated. The number after the slash is the number of licenses requested by this server.
