Create a Service Interface

We are creating a Web Services type service interface that uses CICS commareas.

1. From the Solution Explorer, right-click the CICSCommareaWS project; then click Add > New Item.
2. Expand Native and click Mainframe Subsystem.
3. In the center pane, click Service Interface.
4. In the Name field, type CICSCommareaWS; then click Add.
5. Select Web Service as your type of interface and CICS Commarea as your type of source; then click OK.

At this point, Visual Studio adds the CICSCommareaWS service interface to the Solution Explorer and invokes the Interface Mapper. We are ready to define the details of the service interface.
