Creating an IMS Explorer project

You can create a project explicitly by opening the New IMS Explorer Project wizard when you are in the IMS Explorer perspective.

Procedure

To create a new IMS Explorer project in the IMS Explorer perspective:

  1. From the main menu bar, click File > New > IMS Explorer Project.
  2. In the Project name field, type the name of your project.
  3. You can create the IMS Explorer project without importing any IMS resources, or you can import IMS resources into the new project.
    • Click Finish to create the project without importing any IMS resources. You can still import IMS resources into your project at a later point.
    • Optionally, you can click Next to proceed to the wizard to import IMS resources into the new project.

What to do next

Your new project is displayed in the Project Explorer view with a folder for the database description files and a folder for the program definition files. You can now create or import the IMS resources that you need to plan, analyze, and make changes to your IMS databases.
