Running and Testing the Model

When you first run and test your AWM model you should start Visual COBOL for Eclipse in debug mode. To do this, first close Visual COBOL for Eclipse:

  1. Right-click the shortcut for Visual COBOL for Eclipse.
  2. Click Properties.

    This opens the Visual COBOL for Eclipse Properties dialog box.

  3. In the Target field, at the end of the existing text, type -debug.

    The field content should look like this:

    "C:\Users\Public\Micro Focus\Visual COBOL\eclipse\eclipse.exe" -debug

  4. Click OK.
  5. Restart Visual COBOL for Eclipse.
  6. In the Application Explorer view, click View Menu, and then click Add System(s).

    This opens the Add System(s) dialog box.

  7. Click Custom System, and then click OK.

    This opens the Custom AWM System dialog box.

  8. In the System Name field, type Problem Tracking.
  9. Click Next.
  10. In the Model Location field, click Browse and navigate to the CustomizedIntegratedEDModel.model.

    The Application Name field is automatically populated with text derived from the application name.

  11. Click Finish.

    This adds the Problem Tracking custom system to the Application Explorer view.

  12. In the Application Explorer view, expand the Problem Tracking custom system.
  13. Right-click CustomizedIntegratedEDModel, and then click Load Application.

The content of the default custom system folder is mirrored. Navigate to a file, and then right-click the file. A new Problem Tracking command is displayed in the file's context menu. Click Problem Tracking > Associate Problem Number. This opens the new Problem Number dialog box. In the Problem Number filed, type a six digit number of your choosing. Click OK to store this number against the file. Click Problem Tracking > Associate Problem Number again and the dialog displays the number previously stored.
