You must have at least one project in the CICS® PA plug-in. Projects can contain both folders and files.

About this task

This task creates a new project in the CICS PA plug-in.

  1. Right-click in the white space of the Project Explorer view.
  2. Select New > Project.
  3. In the New Project window, expand the General tree and select Project. Optionally, to assist in locating the Project wizard, you can type Project in the text field. Click Next.
  4. Enter a project name.
  5. (Optional) The project that you create will map to a directory structure in the file system. The default file system location is displayed in the Location field. If you want to create the project and its contained resources in a different location, clear the Use default location check box and specify the new location.
  6. Click Finish.
What to do next

The project is created and is shown in the Project Explorer view. Next to the project name is an open folder icon, which indicates that the project is in an open state. You can create one or more folders in the project.
