Restriction: This topic applies only when the Enterprise Server feature is enabled.
Before you can use the service interfaces feature, you must first create a
Visual Studio project using
the Enterprise Server Application
template. Once this project is in place, you can use
Visual Studio functionality to do the following:
- Add appropriate files to the project, such as COBOL programs and copybooks for a COBOL Program service interface
- Create a new service interface
- Import an existing service interface, either a service interface created using different software such as Net Express or a service interface from a different project
- Set service interface properties
- Create and edit service interfaces
- Deploy service interfaces to run as services on an enterprise server
- Generate clients to access deployed services
