Creating a new MVS subproject

MVS™ subprojects contain the development resources that reside on an MVS system. You can create multiple subprojects in a z/OS® project.

Before you begin

Before you create an MVS subproject, you need to have completed the following tasks:
  1. Connecting to a remote system
  2. Creating a z/OS project
About this task
To create an MVS subproject, follow these steps:
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Click Finish to create the subproject using the property group selected.
