MVS™ subprojects contain the development resources
that reside on an MVS system. You can create multiple subprojects
in a z/OS® project.
About this task
To create an MVS subproject, follow these steps:
- From the z/OS Projects view pop-up menu,
click New > MVS Subproject. The
New MVS Subproject wizard opens. The Host
Short Name field shows the name of the z/OS system
to which you are connected. If you are connected to more than one
system, you can change the system under which the subproject is created
by selecting the system from this list.
- From the Project Name list, select
the z/OS project to contain this subproject. This field defaults to the project name selected when you clicked
the New > MVS Subproject action.
- In the Subproject Name field, type
a name for the new subproject. The Subproject
Type defaults to MVS and the High Level
Qualifier defaults to the user ID with which you logged
on to the remote system.
- From the property group association table, select a property
group to be used as the current property group for the subproject. You can use the Edit and New buttons
beside this table to edit one of the property groups shown or to create
a new property group as follows:
- To edit a property group, highlight the group name in the table
and click Edit. Note that highlighting a property
group name and selecting the check box beside a property group name
are two different actions. You can highlight a property group name
for editing even if it is not the currently selected group.
- To create a new property group, click New.
See the related tasks for more information.
- Click Finish to create the subproject
using the property group selected.

What to do next
To associate a new property group with the subproject,
select the subproject and click
Property Group > Associate
Property Group.
