To convert a local COBOL project to a remote COBOL project

1. In the COBOL perspective, click File > Import.
2. Expand the Micro Focus folder, select Convert Local Micro Focus Projects to Remote Projects, then click Next.

   The Convert Local Micro Focus Projects to Remote Projects wizard is displayed.

3. Click Browse, select the workspace folder containing the project.
   Note: The project being converted should not already reside in the current workspace.
4. Check the project(s) to convert.
5. Select the remote file system to use to interact with the remote host, and then click Next.
6. If you chose Network File System (Samba, NFS), in the Location field, specify the path with which to locate the project on the local machine.
   Tip: Select Use default location to use your current workspace.
7. In the Remote settings section, in the Connection name field, choose the remote connection.
   Note: Only existing connections using your chosen file system are displayed; if the remote host connection is not listed when you click the Connection name field, click New Connection and use the New Connection wizard to create a new one.
8. In the Remote location field, enter the location of the project on the remote host. You can use the Browse dialog box to browse the remote host's file system.

   For a network file system such as NFS or Samba, the Remote location value should be the UNIX/Linux representation of the path as specified in Location. For example, a location of X:NFS-mounted-drive-location\project-name should be represented by a remote location of /home/users/my-folder.

9. If you are converting a native project, click Finish; otherwise, click Next.
10. Select a Java Runtime Environment for the project: either select a project specific JRE (i.e. one that this project will use regardless of any default JRE setting) or use the default JRE for the remote host, and then click Next. (If the JRE for the remote host is updated, projects using the default JRE setting are affected.)
    Note: If the JRE you require is not listed, click Configure remote JREs and use the Remote JREs section to add the required JRE.
11. Review and adjust (if required) the remote JVM settings on the Remote COBOL JVM Settings screen.
12. Click Finish.

    The project is created and appears in the COBOL Explorer.
