Part 2. Create a service flow project and files related to the sample flow

In this part of the tutorial, you will use the New Service Flow Project wizard to create a service flow project and files related to the sample flow.

The service flow project holds the resources associated with the service you are creating.

The related files are described at the end of this part of the tutorial. In this part of the tutorial, you choose options in the New Service Flow Project to create all these related files at the same time that the service flow project is created

The service flow project tools store the service flow project and the related files in subprojects and folders in the EST Project Explorer.

To create the service flow project and related files:
  1. Select File > New > Service Flow Project. The New Service Flow Project wizard opens.
  2. On the first page of the wizard, titled Choose a project name and location page:
    1. In the Project name input field, type SampleProject.
    2. Select the Use default location check box if it is not already selected.
    3. Clear the check box I will specify the service flow later if it is not already cleared.
    4. Click Next to go to the next page of the wizard.

    3. In the Port field, type the port number that you want to use to connect to the host.
  6. Click Finish to close the New Service Flow Project wizard.
  7. The service flow project tools perform the following actions before closing:
    • It creates the new service flow project and the related files, including a host connection file.
    • It opens the host connection file with the host editor, and attempts to establish a connection with the host.
The host editor should now be opened in the editor area of the workbench.
