Known Issues and Restrictions chapter of this product help 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

Issuing Remote Procedure Calls for more information.
- 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.
