Creating a CICS PA project

The most direct method of accessing your performance data is by connecting directly to your PA database on the host, but you can also view the data in a CSV file. The CSV file must be loaded into a project in your workspace. Projects can contain both folders and files.

About this task

This task creates a new project in the CICS® PA plug-in.

Procedure

  1. Right-click in the white space of the Project Explorer view.
  2. Select New > Project.
  3. In the New Project window, expand the General tree and select Project. Optionally, to assist in locating the Project wizard, you can type Project in the text field. Click Next.
  4. Enter a project name.
  5. (Optional):
    • The project that you create will map to a directory structure in the file system. The default file system location is displayed in the Location field. If you want to create the project and its contained resources in a different location, clear the Use default location check box and specify the new location.
    • Working sets are group elements for display in views or for operations on a set of elements. Working sets are part of Eclipse functionality, if you want to use them refer to the information in the Eclipse help.
  6. Click Finish.

Results

The project is created and is shown in the Project Explorer view. Next to the project name is an open folder icon, which indicates that the project is in an open state. You can create one or more folders in the project.
