Restriction: This feature requires that
Visual COBOL Development Hub is installed on the remote machine.
- While in the COBOL perspective, click
File > New > Remote COBOL Copybook Project.
The
Remote COBOL Copybook Project wizard appears.
- In the
Remote COBOL Copybook Project wizard, type a project name.
- In the
Choose file system field, select the connection type with which to interact with the remote host, and then click
Next.
The Network File System (NFS) protocol allows a client machine to access files over a network connection in a similar manner
to how local storage on the client machine is accessed.
- Select the required project template on which to base your project, and click
Next.
Note: By default, one template is available for you to choose:
Micro Focus template; others may be available if the template preferences have been previously configured. Alternatively, click
Browse for template and select another template.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Click
Finish.
The project is created and appears in the COBOL Explorer.
