Saving J2C settings in an Ant script

You can save the settings for your J2C Java™ bean and your data binding classes in an Ant file, that you can run separately.
The Save session as Ant script option is located in:
  1. The Saving Properties page of CICS/IMS Java Binding wizard
  2. The J2C Java Bean Output Properties page of J2C Java bean wizard
To save the settings of data binding classes or your J2C Java bean, select Save session as Ant script. If you want to save the default settings as well as the custom settings, select Save all settings. The Save all settings option is useful if you would like to generate the values for all the settings when you go through the wizard. In this way, it is like you have generated a template for all the properties. if you do not select this, only the option that you modify/enter when you go through the J2C Java bean wizard will be generated.
