- Create a configuration(.cfg) file to control the behaviour of the mfclient and mfes-csbsrvr modules and the communications connection. For details, please see the section The Client/Server Binding Configuration File in the chapter Client/Server Binding.
- In the configuration file, set the "commsapi" parameter to "es". This enables the use of the Server Enterprise Edition transport.
- In the configuration file, set the "servername" parameter to the name of the service that you are using to run your server program. The service name is case-sensitive, so you must make sure that it is the same in your configuration file as it is on the enterprise server. The default service supplied with Client/Server Binding for Server Enterprise Edition is MFCLISRV. See the section Deploying the Default Service for more information.
- Add code to your client program to call the mfclient module. See the section Connecting Your Client Program to MFCLIENT in the chapter Client/Server Binding.
- Add code to your server program to enable it to be called by the mfserver module. See the section Connecting your Server Program to MFSERVER in the chapter Client/Server Binding.
- Make sure that the Micro Focus Directory Server that manages your enterprise server is started. See the section Starting the Directory Server
- Deploy the default service to your enterprise server. See the section Deploying the Default Service.
- Install your client program on the client machine.
- Install your server program on the server machine. See the section Install the Server Module
To run your application, you will also need to ensure that:
- your enterprise server is started. See the section Starting the Enterprise Server.
- the Client/Server Binding service or services are configured as AVAILABLE. See the section Set the Service Status
- the listener for the service(s) is started. See the section Set the Listener Status
