To prepare for debugging on enterprise server

  1. Open the Enterprise Server Administration Web page. To do this:
  2. Enable dynamic debugging for the enterprise server that you want to use for debugging. To do this:
    1. In the table of servers on the Home page of Enterprise Server Administration, find the row for the server that you want to configure, and click Edit in the left hand column.
    2. In the Server > Properties > General section, select Allow Dynamic Debugging.
    3. Click OK to confirm your changes.
    Important: You must restart the server for the changes to take effect.
  3. Configure the enterprise server to run your application or transaction, by enabling Mainframe Subsystem Support (MSS) and JCL support as required.
  4. Make sure that the symbol files (.idy) for the application are available. In Visual Studio, configure the locations that are searched for symbol files as follows:
    1. Click Tools > Options > Debugging > Symbols.
    2. Add a new folder by clicking the New Folder button.
    3. In the Symbol file locations list, enter the absolute path to the .idy files.
    If the symbol files for the application cannot be found, the application runs without debugging and no error message is shown. There is however a message shown in the output window.
  5. Associate the project with the enterprise server:
    1. Ensure that your project is open.
    2. In Server Explorer, expand Micro Focus Servers.
    3. Expand the subgroup of servers.
    4. Right-click the enterprise server region with which to associate your project.
    5. Select Associate with project > your project .
