Create a Service Interface

You are creating a Web Services type service interface that uses CICS screens.

  1. From the Solution Explorer, right-click the CICSScreenWS project; then click Add > New Item.
  2. Expand Native and click Mainframe Subsystem.
  3. In the center pane, click Service Interface.
  4. In the Name field, type CICSScreenWS; then click Add.
  5. Select Web Service as your type of interface and CICS Screen as your type of source. All other fields retain their default values.
  6. Click OK.

At this point, Visual Studio adds the CICSScreenWS service interface to the Solution Explorer and invokes the Interface Mapper. You are ready to define the details of the service interface.
