Set Up the BookREST Project

Guides you through the process of using the provided CICS Web services demonstration files to create the BookREST project used in this tutorial.
  1. Using Windows File Explorer or at a command prompt, create a project directory named BookREST.
  2. In Windows File Explorer, copy everything in the CICSWebServicesProjectTemplate folder containing your extracted CICS Web services demonstration files, and paste it into the new BookREST project directory.
  3. From the Enterprise Developer for Visual Studio 2022 main menu, click File > Open > Project/Solution.
  4. Browse to the new BookREST project directory, and select the CWSProject.cblproj project file; then click Open. This starts the Solution Explorer.

    Here, you rename the project to match the name of the service interface you are going to create. This is not mandatory in general, but done here to differentiate between tutorial projects.

  5. In the Solution Explorer, right-click the CWSProject project; then select Rename.
  6. Type BookREST; then press Enter.
