To create a Visual Studio project for service interfaces
- From the Visual Studio IDE, click
File >
New >
Project.
- Under
Project types, expand
COBOL Projects; then click
Native.
- Under
Templates, click one of the following:
- Enterprise Server Application - for COBOL program service interfaces only. Use this template for service interfaces that do not require mainframe support.
- Mainframe Subsystem Application - for
CICS and IMS service interfaces, and
COBOL program service interfaces that require mainframe support.
Note:
- For projects and solutions created with the Enterprise Server Application template, the
Studio Enterprise Edition IDE does not display mainframe-related properties, tabs, fields, or other UI controls available for projects and solutions created using the Mainframe Subsystem Application template.
- When creating a Visual Studio solution for a group of service interface projects, choose one of these templates based on whether or not the projects you intend to add to the solution require mainframe support.
- Complete the other fields as required.
