Creating multiple AIX COBOL projects

To create multiple projects for your COBOL files, use the AIX® COBOL Projects wizard.

About this task

To create multiple AIX COBOL projects:

Procedure

  1. Select File > New > AIX COBOL Projects. The AIX COBOL project wizard will open with the Import to Remote Projects page displayed.
  2. Use the Connection field pull-down to select the Remote Systems Explorer connection that you wish to import the projects from. Click New if you wish to create a new connection. Select the folders to import. Click Next.

    Note: Do not create projects pointing to the same project location on the remote host in multiple IDEs. This will cause unexpected behavior to occur.

  3. The remote location root will be generated for the selected folders. New projects will have the same name as its folder name.
  4. 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.
    1. 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.

    2. 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.

  5. Click Finish.

Results

Alternatively, you can select the desired remote location of the folders in the Remote System Explorer view, right-click, and select Import to AIX COBOL Projects. This will start the wizard, as above, but the remote location will be filled in.
