Starting a single-service wizard from a single-service project

This topic describes how to start a single-service wizard from a single-service project.

To start a single-service wizard from a single-service project:

  1. Right-click the title of the single-service project.
  2. Select Generate <runtime> resources, where <runtime> is the runtime environment that was selected when the project was created.
  3. The single-service wizard opens.
Note: In a single-service project the runtime environment, development scenario, application mode, and conversion type are set when the project is created. Therefore the single-service wizard opens immediately without needing the Wizard Launcher.

The single-service wizard automatically remembers the values that you specify for the various options on the wizard pages wizard. These values are preselected the next time that you run the wizard.

Creation of generation properties files for the batch processor

The single-service wizard automatically creates three generation properties files for the batch processor. These files contain the values for the various options that you specified as you went through the pages of the wizard.

You can then use these generation properties files with the batch processor at any time to re-create the files generated by the single-service wizard.

The default names of the files are:
  • Container.xml
  • PlatformProperties.xml
  • ServiceSpecification.xml
You can specify different names for these files on the Properties tab of the File, data set, or member selection page of the wizard (see Properties tab).

Starting the wizard from a selected file

Typically the first step in starting a single-service wizard is to right-click the title of the single-service project (see Step 1 in the steps at the start of this topic). However, you can also start a single-service wizard by right-clicking a file within a single-service project. That is:
  1. Right-click a source file in the single-service project.
  2. Click Generate <runtime> resources as you normally would. The wizard opens.

As usual, the wizard automatically remembers the values that you specify for the various options on the wizard pages wizard. These values are preselected the next time that you run the wizard.

Typically you do not use this method to start a single-service project unless you want to change the main source file for the single-service project (see Changing the source file for a single-service wizard).

Changing the source file for a single-service wizard

Whether you start a single-service wizard by right-clicking the project title or by right-clicking a source file, you might decide later that you want to use a different source file for the same project. For example, you might be running the bottom-up single-service wizard starting with the source file orderItem.cbl and then decide to start with the file queryAccount.cbl.

To change source file for a wizard:
  1. Right-click a source file that you want to use.
  2. Click Generate <runtime> resources as you normally would. The wizard opens.

The single-service wizard discards the file names and the options saved from the previous time that you ran it and starts over with the newly selected source file.
