Set Up the ProgramSOAP Project

Walks you through the process of creating an Enterprise Developer project for the ScheduleDemo demonstration application, and populating the project with demonstration files.

Create the ProgramSOAP project

  1. Open a Visual Studio command prompt and enter:
    devenv
    This starts Visual Studio. If you are prompted to select an initial action, click Continue without code.
  2. In Visual Studio, click File > New > Project.
  3. In the Create a new project dialog box, select COBOL from the Language drop-down list.
  4. In the two remaining drop-down lists, select Windows and Enterprise Server respectively.
  5. Select Enterprise Server Application.
  6. Click Next.
  7. Complete the Name and Location fields as follows:
    Name ProgramSOAP

    By default, this is the name of both the project and the solution.

    Location c:\tutorials\IMTK
  8. Check Place solution and project in the same directory.
  9. Click Create.

    Visual Studio opens the Solution Explorer for the ProgramSOAP solution, showing the ProgramSOAP project.

    Note: By default, all new projects you create in Visual Studio are 64-bit.

Add ScheduleDemo demonstration files to the project

  1. Right-click the ProgramSOAP project, and select Add > Existing Item from the context menu.
  2. Browse to the %PUBLIC%\Documents\Micro Focus\Enterprise Developer\Samples\Interface Mapping Toolkit\ServiceInterfaces\ScheduleDemo directory.
  3. From the drop-down filter, select All files (*.*)
  4. On the list of files, select all except the Readme XML files, and then click Add.
