An AIX® COBOL project
contains your source code and related files. The project provides
many useful tools, such as automatic building, synchronization with
the AIX machine, debugging,
code navigation/editing, source control, and more.
About this task
To create an AIX COBOL
project:
Procedure
- Select File > New > AIX COBOL
Project. The AIX COBOL project
wizard will open.
- Type a name for your project in the Project Name box.
- Enter or browse for the remote location (on AIX machine) of the project in Remote Location.
- Enable Associate a local location if you wish to
have a local project. If you wish to use source control, work disconnected
from the AIX machine, or wish
to use a mounted folder, you will want a local project.
- If you wish to use a location other than the default,
disable Use default location, and enter or browse for the location
in Location.
Note: If you are using a
mounted directory, ensure that it corresponds to the remote location.
- If you are not using a mounted directory, select Work
with local copy of files, push file changes to remote location.
If you are using a mounted directory, select Local location
is a mounted folder pointing to the remote location. In this case,
enabling Validate mount location will do some checking to make
sure the remote location and the local location match.
- Click Finish.
Results
Alternatively, you can select the desired remote location
in the Remote System Explorer view, right-click, and select
Import
to AIX COBOL Project. This
will start the wizard, as above, but the remote location will be filled
in.
