Create a New CICS Project

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

To create a new CICS project

1. Select 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

   • [Optional] Session will debug PL/I

   • [Optional] Import Files once project is created

3. Click Finish.

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