This article applies to Enterprise Server 2.2 on Windows Server 2012.
Problem description:
We have an issue where a customer cloned the test server from production. Both servers are using different host names on the same subnet.
They run a script via tasks scheduler to bring up and shutdown CICS and the fileserver.
For some reason the fileserver does not come up along with CICS and the fileshare server does not show up on the ESA on the test server.
Starting the region
fsservice.exe -i PRSRV /wd %MDrv%:\\CLCS\\PRODDATA /s PRSRV /sc /pf fspwf.dat
NET.exe START "Micro Focus Fileshare Service: PRSRV"
casstart /rPROD
Ending the region
NET.exe STOP "Micro Focus Fileshare Service: PRSRV"
fsservice.exe -u PRSRV
casstop /lPROD
What can be done to have the Fileshare server get registered on ESA screen?
Resolution:
As these two servers are on the same network, we turned off the UDP broadcasts in the mfds general configuration section so then it will not find the Fileshare server from the other machine.
After switching off the UDP broadcast , we were able to start & stop the fileshare server & CICS via task scheduler and the fileshare server comes up along with the CICS.
