Use the New Generation Properties wizard to create a generation
properties file for your flow, adapted to the selected runtime environment.
The selected runtime environment determines which generation properties
are available for configuration in the generation properties editor.
See Building a program for a runtime environment for more information
on creating a generation properties file.
Create a generation properties file for your flow as follows:
Start the New Generation Properties wizard:
In the EST Project Explorer, right-click
the flow for which you want to generate a new generation properties
file. The flow is: .
Select .
The New Generation Properties wizard opens.
The first page of the wizard requests information about the
file name and location for the generation properties file. For this
tutorial, complete the fields as follows:
- In the File name input field, type SampleProjectGP.sfgen.
- Leave the Description field blank.
- The Destination project list box should already display
the entry SampleProject.
- The Flow list box should already display the entry SampleProject.seqflow.
- The check box Validate flows against runtimes should
already be selected.
- Click Next to go to the next page of the
wizard.
The second page of the wizard prompts you to select a runtime
environment.
Note: Because you selected the check box Validate
flows against runtimes on the previous page of the wizard,
the wizard checks your flow and on this page lists only the runtime
environments that support the types of node contained in your flow.
(Some types of node, such as the Invoke Flow node, are not supported
in all runtime environments.)
For this tutorial, complete the
fields as follows:
- Click the radio button CICS Service Flow
Runtime: Level 2.0.
- Click Finish to close the wizard.
The wizard performs the following steps:
- The wizard creates the generation properties file SampleProjectGP.sfgen and stores it in
the folder .
- As a convenience, the wizard opens the new generation properties
file in the generation properties editor for you. (You could open
the file yourself from the EST Project Explorer.)
- The New Generation Properties wizard closes.
The generation properties editor should now be open in the editor
area. The properties displayed apply to the flow as a whole.
