Create a Visual Studio Project

Because the service generated from this COBOL Program service interfaces tutorial runs on an enterprise server not associated with the other tutorials, it needs its own project (enterprise servers are associated with a project rather than any specific service interface). In the project, we must add the application files needed to define the service interface and then access the deployed service.

1. From the SVITutorials Solution in the Solution Explorer, right-click the solution name; then click Add > New Project.
2. In the Name field, type ProgramEJB.
   Note: Because you are creating the project from within the SVITutorials solution, the default settings for Project types, Templates, and Location are correct by default.
3. Click OK. The ProgramEJB project now appears on the Solution Explorer.
4. Right-click the ProgramEJB project, and click Add > Existing Item.
5. Browse to the %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Micro Focus\Studio Enterprise Edition x.x\Examples\Visual Studio Integration\Tutorials\Service Interfaces\BookDemo folder.
6. From the Objects of type drop-down list, click All files (*.*); then select the following files:
   • book.cbl
   • book-rec.cpy
   • bookfile.dat
   • bookfile.idx
7. Click Add.
