There are a number of tutorials that guide you through creating mainframe and COBOL applications using the Eclipse IDE. The source files for some of the tutorials are installed in subfolders of the $COBDIR/demo folder by default. These can be installed but are not supported.
The following tutorials are available:
| Tutorial | Shows you how to |

| Tutorial: Web-enabled CICS Acting as a Web Server | Create a Web-enabled version of a CICS project in Eclipse. |
| Tutorial: Web-enabled CICS Acting as a Web Client | Create a CICS Web client project in Eclipse. |
| Tutorial: JCL | Create a JCL project in Eclipse and submit it to an Enterprise Server. |
| Tutorial: Mainframe Batch Database Tools (MBDT) | Takes you step by step through the process of migrating a mainframe-based DB2 table on the mainframe to a local SQL Server using Mainframe Batch Database Tools (MBDT). |
| Tutorials: HCO for SQL Server (HCOSS) | Includes tutorials that guide you through the process of migrating a DB2 application to a SQL Server application. |
| Tutorial: IMS Support | Create an IMS project in Eclipse and deploy the application to an Enterprise Server. |
| Tutorial | Shows you how to |
|---|---|
| Tutorial: Creating a Native COBOL Application | Develop and maintain native COBOL applications in Eclipse. This is a basic tutorial introducing the Eclipse IDE. |
| Tutorial: Running Unit Tests in the IDE | Create a unit test project, then within it create a test case that directly links to one of the sample applications supplied with Enterprise Developer. This enables you to directly test your application source code. |
| Tutorial: Interface Mapping Toolkit | Create a project to define a Java or Enterprise JavaBean service interface to access a COBOL application and deploy the service to an enterprise server. Create, deploy and run a JSP client to access the service. |
| Tutorial: Data Tools | Configure the BANKDEMO enterprise server region to access data sets using the new Eclipse-based RCP application client. Edit, insert, and delete multiple records to explore the functionality of the UI. |
| Tutorial: Using the Callable File Handler | Use the Callable File Handler to perform a number of common file handling operations. |
| Tutorials: JSON Processing | Convert JSON text to COBOL data formats (JSON PARSE) and generate COBOL data to JSON text (JSON GENERATE). |
| Tutorial | Shows you how to |
|---|---|
