Problem:

I use Studio Enterprise Edition 6.0 and have created a Mainframe Subsystem Application project. I now would like to associate my project with a remote Enterprise Server region hosted on a remote Windows 7 computer.

I opened the Server Explorer view, and set the remote Windows 7 machine name in Host name field (  Right clicking on Micro Focus Servers  MFDS configuration ) but don't see the Enterprise Server regions on the remote Windows 7 machine. 

Resolution:

On the remote Windows 7 machine, using the Microsoft Windows 7  standard Windows firewall:

 Advancing setting:

  Inbound rule >New rule Program  

               ProgramPath = PATH of mfds.exe in [EE 6.0 install DIR\\base\\bin\\mfds.exe

               Allowed for Domain & Private & Public

               Any Local IP & Remote IP Address

                

                Inbound rule >New rule Program  

               ProgramPath = PATH of mfcs.exe in [EE 6.0 install DIR\\base\\bin\\mfcs.exe

               Allowed for Domain & Private & Public

               Any Local IP & Remote IP Address

      

    Restart computer

You should now be able to  Associate a remote Enterprise Server region hosted on Windows
