Before you start using the Mainframe Call Generator, there are a few preparatory steps you need to perform:
- Check the information on Mainframe Call Generator in the Known Errors and Restrictions section of the Readme to make sure your application is suitable for use with the Mainframe Call Generator.
- Ensure that you have the correct software installed and correctly configured on the mainframe. You need to have installed
Mainframe Access 3.0 on your mainframe. Important information that you must read before trying to use the Mainframe Call Generator is contained in the
Mainframe Call Generator appendix of the
Mainframe Access Administrator's Guide.
- Ensure that each user who will be running stubs is set up with the following:
- A valid user id and password for the mainframe.
- A working Mainframe Access connection, including a drive defined to be used with SourceConnect. See your Mainframe Access documentation for information on how to do this.
- Create a folder you want to store the generated stubs in. You need to consider whether you want to use one folder per application or one folder for all of your applications.
- Create a project to contain the programs you wish to generate stub programs for.
