About this task
This task describes the steps that are needed to create a modern batch application with CICS Explorer SDK.
You
can use this task to:
- Create a Java™ project. This project contains all the artifacts for your batch application.
- Configure the environment by adding necessary JARs to the Java build path
- Create a Java class for each job step.
Procedure
You must now create the XML file and the Java class for the job step.
What to do next
You can now open the XML file in your editor and add the content that is required for your batch application. See Creating xJCL for the sample batch job.
You can then implement the methods in your job step class to run your business logic and deploy your application.
