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, right-click CustomizedIntegratedEDModel under the Action Example custom AWM system which you have created before, and then click Load Application.

When you expand the loaded model, the Micro Focus Eclipse projects will be displayed in your workspace. Expand any project to the file level and click a file. Verify that the Problem Number value in the Properties view is empty at this point. The Properties view might be hidden in the view stack on the bottom left. In this case, you need to select it to bring it to the foreground. The Problem Number attribute can be found at the bottom of the Properties view.

You can see the Problem Tracking sub menu in the context menu of the selected file and the action Associate Problem Number below it. Click Problem Tracking > Associate Problem Number . This opens the new Problem Number dialog box. Type the required value. Click OK to store this value against the file. When the file is selected under the CustomizedIntegratedEDModel application the Properties view will display the specified value under the attribute Problem Number.
