IMS Web Studio TaskGuide Introduction

Using IMS Web Studio, you can create classes used to build an executable program that runs an IMS transaction from a Web browser. This TaskGuide will take you through the process step-by-step.

The IMS Web Studio TaskGuide uses a design that lists the tasks (navigation buttons) you can do with IMS Web on the left part of the window. The detailed steps you need to complete for a task are shown on the right part of the window. As you complete a task, you can click on the Next button or select a task from the list on the left part of the window.

As you complete a task, it is checked off and you can perform the next task. If a task is not enabled (grayed out), you cannot complete that task until you complete previous tasks. Parse files is a mandatory task and must always be completed.

You can click Close if you do not want to complete a task or when you have completed a task and do not want to continue to another task.

The tasks are as follows:

Choose project

Define project

Gather files

Parse files

Define transaction

Define classes
