Create a New CICS Project

Create a CICS project in CA InterTest™ to initiate an CA InterTest™ CICS debug session. You can import program listings into the project when creating the project or later.

Follow these steps:

1. Select CA InterTest™, Create CICS Project.
   The New CICS Project dialog opens.

2. Enter the details for the new CICS project.
   The following field values are required to create a new project:

   • [Required] Project Name
     Specifies the name or description for the new project. You can use uppercase and lowercase alphanumeric characters, and embedded spaces when entering a value in this field.

   • Use Default Location
     Stores the project in the predefined workspace folder in CA InterTest™. Check this box to store the project in the predefined location. Uncheck this box to specify your own location. This action automatically enables the Location field.
     Default: On

   • [Optional] Location
     Stores the project in a specific location on your computer. Click Browse to locate and select the folder in which you want to save the project.

   • [Optional] Server Settings
     Lists the existing server connections to a set of servers that have been defined.

   • CA InterTest™ Server
     Lists the server connections to import program listings into your CICS project. Select a server connection from the drop-down list.

   • CICS Application ID
     Specifies the CICS APPLID, which is the name by which it is known in the intercommunication network; that is, its netname.

   • [Optional] Session will debug PL/I
     Indicates that the debugged programs are updated to the output of a PL/I compiler. Check this box if this project configuration is intended to debug PL/I programs.
     Default: Off

   • [Optional] Import Files once project is created
     Activates a file import process after the project is created. Check this box to open the Import PROTSYM Files dialog to import files after the project is created.
     Default: Off

3. Click Finish.
   The new project is created. The CA InterTest™ Debug view displays the new project. The Import PROTSYM Files dialog opens if you checked the Import Files once project is created box.
