Creating a Project by using the Export Path CSV File

About this task

Starting with IBM ADDI V5.1.0.7, the new Java™ utility com.ibm.ad.create.project-1.0.0.jar, present in the <IBM ADDI Installation Folder>/support/CreateADProject folder helps you to create a new project in the background.

Procedure

  1. Before you run the com.ibm.ad.create.project-1.0.0.jar Java utility, perform the following steps:
    1. Copy the exported .CSV file under /CreateADProject folder.
      Note: The .CSV file represents the output of the Export Paths feature, file that is generated from IBM® ADDI Analyze Client. For more information, see Graphical Analysis Overview.
    2. Define the content of the NPSkel.ini file as follows:
      ProjectName = "%%ProjectName%%"
      Path = "<REPLACE_WITH_PATH_TO_AD_PROJECTS_FOLDER>\%%ProjectName%%"
      Environment = "zOS"
      ProjectLanguages = "DT Cobol,Assembler,Cobol,Natural,PL1,Ads"
      DBTypes = "Datacom,IDMS,Adabas,Relational,IMS/DB"
      MapTypes = "Natural (LNM),CICS (BMS), IMS TM (MFS),ADS Map"
      ProjectDBType = "SQL" <OR> "DB2"
      CCSEnvironment = "<REPLACE_WITH_ENVIRONMENT_NAME_FROM_CCS>"
      DBServerName = "<REPLACE_WITH_DB_SERVER_NAME_FROM_CCS> [localhost:<REPLACE_WITH_DB_PORT_FROM_CCS>]"
      Note: For more information on how to define the NPSkel.ini file, see 1. Create a new project in background.
  2. Run the following command:
    java -jar com.ibm.ad.create.project-1.0.0.jar "C:\Program Files\IBM Application Discovery and Delivery Intelligence\IBM Application Discovery Build Client\Bin\Release\IBMApplicationDiscoveryBuildClient.exe" ProjectName ExportedFile.csv
    Where:
    • ProjectName - represents the name of the project that will be created.
    • ExportedFile.csv - represents the output of the Export Paths feature.
  3. As a result, a new project is created. It contains all information that is defined in the NPSkel.ini and .CSV files.
    Note: The created project is already built.
