Importing a HATS connection

The Import HATS Connection wizard allows you to generate a host connection file for a service flow project directly from a HATS connection file. (HATS is an acronym for the IBM® WebSphere® Host Access Transformation Services product.)

To import HATS connection files

  1. Access the Import HATS Connection wizard using one of the following methods:
    • Right-click over the EST Project Explorer, then click Import HATS Connections.
    • Click File > Import > Enterprise Service Tools. Select HATS Connection into Service Flow Project and click Next
    The Import HATS Connection wizard opens.
  2. Create a list of HATS connection files (*.hco), using the following methods:
    • Click File System to select a HATS connection file on your workstation's hard disk.
    • Click Workspace to select a HATS connection file in your workbench's current workspace.
    • Click Remote to select a HATS connection file on the remote system
    • Click Remove to delete a HATS connection file from the list.
    After you select a file, the list displays the path of the file. Proceed to the next step after you have completed the list of desired files.
  3. From the Project Name list, select the terminal applications subproject in which you want to create the host connections.

  4. Select Overwrite existing resources without warning if you do not want to be warned when the wizard is about to overwrite existing data in the specified folder.

  5. Click Finish.

For each imported HATS connection file, the wizard does the following:

  1. Reads the connection file (for example, conn01.hco).
  2. Extracts the host connection information.
  3. Uses the host connection information to create a new host connection file (for example, conn01.host),

The host connections are displayed in the Hosts subfolder of a terminal applications subproject in your service flow project.

Note: The wizard does not preserve all the information that can be present in a HATS connection file in a new host connection. The wizard copies only the following information from the HATS connection file:
