Import Files from the Demonstration Program

In this step, you import the files from the AACT demonstration transaction into your project, and copy the resource definition file to the project.

  1. In Visual Studio, right-click the AACT project in Solution Explorer and select Add > Existing Item.
  2. Browse to the AACT sample files, located in the %PUBLIC%\Documents\Micro Focus\Enterprise Developer\Samples\Mainframe\Assembler\Classic\AACT directory.
  3. On the Add Existing Item dialog box, click the drop-down list associated with the File Name field, and select All Files (*.*).
  4. Select all of the following files, and then click Add to add them to the project:
    • AACTREC.cpy
    • AACTSET.bms
    • AACTSET.cpy
    • aactset.mac
    • aactrec.mac
    • asmacct0.mlc
    • asmacct1.mlc
    • asmacct2.mlc
    • asmacct3.mlc
    • asmacct4.mlc
    • asmacctm.mlc
  5. In Solution Explorer, double-click the Properties folder.
  6. On the Assembler page in the properties and on the Compiler tab, check EXEC CICS in the CICS Support section.
  7. At a command prompt or using Windows Explorer, create a subdirectory under c:\tutorials\AACT named system.
  8. Copy the dfhdrdat file from the %PUBLIC%\Documents\Micro Focus\Enterprise Developer\Samples\Mainframe\Assembler\Classic\AACT\System directory to the c:\tutorials\AACT\system subdirectory that you just created. This is the file that contains the resource definitions you need to create an enterprise server to run the AACT transaction.
