Preparing the generation properties files for the top-down PL/I development approach
You must first create three generation properties files to describe the web service and then run the Rational® Developer for System z® batch processor to generate Enterprise PL/I top-down artifacts, such as an PL/I application template, language structures, XML converter driver(s), and the correlator file.
The best way to create these XML files is to modify the
sample generation properties that are provided. The sample generation
properties files are located at: plugins_directory\ui_directory\BatchProcessorSamples\EISServiceImplementation where:
- plugins_directory is the complete path to the named plugin subdirectory within the product installation directory, for example, C:\Program Files\IBM\SDPShared\plugins
- ui_directory is the directory com.ibm.etools.est.ui_rrrrrr.vyyyymmdd_hhmm
- rrrrrr is a one-to-eight-character release number.
- vyyyymmdd_hhmm is a time stamp that indicates the year, month, day, hour, and minute.
For example, the complete file path for the sample directories in Windows might be: C:\Program Files\IBM\SDPShared\plugins\com.ibm.etools.est.ui_x.x.x.vyyyymmdd_xxxx\BatchProcessorSamples\EISServiceImplementation
See the Rational Developer for System z online help or information for more information about preparing the generation properties files and the batch processor.
