Set Up the ReverseJSON Project

Guides you through the steps required to create the ReverseJSON project used in this tutorial to generate a CICS Web service.
  1. Using Windows File Explorer or at a command prompt, create a project directory named ReverseJSON under c:\tutorials\CICS.
  2. In Windows File Explorer, copy everything in the CICSWebServicesProjectTemplate folder containing your extracted CICS Web services demonstration files, and paste it into the new ReverseJSON project directory.
  3. From the Visual Studio main menu, click File > Open > Project/Solution.
  4. Browse to the new ReverseJSON project directory, and select the CWSProject.cblproj project file; then click Open. This starts the Solution Explorer.

    Here, you rename the project to match the name of the service interface you are going to create. This is not mandatory in general, but done here to differentiate between tutorial projects.

  5. In the Solution Explorer, right-click the CWSProject project; then select Rename.
  6. Type ReverseJSON; then press Enter.
