Generate a COBOL Client

You can now generate a COBOL client to access the MakeCheckAppt service that you deployed to the ESSOAP enterprise server instance.

1. From the COBOL Explorer, right-click the MakeCheckAppt Web Service; then select Generate Client from the context menu.
2. On the Generate Client dialog box, click Current project; then click OK.

You can watch the generation process in the Service Interfaces Console. When it is complete, you'll see the message "The client generation completed successfully" after which Eclipse rebuilds the project. You should see that the following files have been added to the client sub-folder, located in the project folder:

• COBOL Programs > client > MakeCheckAppt-app.cbl
• COBOL Programs > client > MakeCheckAppt-proxy.cbl
• Copybooks > client > MakeCheckAppt-copy.cpy
