By default, the generated COBOL files are stored with the design files, in a root folder whose default name you can change. Here you can indicate a specific root path which will contain only the generated files of the project. You can also indicate another root path which will contain the metadata files only.
You can specify a new root path even after the generation. The generated files of the project will automatically be moved to the new target.
You can change this default folder.
If you cannot see it, the path you enter here will not be taken into account for the generated instance.
Select the check box Separate generated files from design files. The Generated root path field then becomes available. You can leave the default gen path or enter another path. It can contain more than one level (GEN/CAN/PRO for example).
The path will be the first level (or levels) of the folders tree for the generated files in the project.
When you click OK, this path is automatically inserted at the beginning of the COBOL folder field in the Definition tab of the instance.
Contrary to the root path for the generated files, this root path always applies, even if the generation folder is not the default folder.
The path will be the first level (or levels) of the folders tree for the metadata files in the project.
If you separate the metadata files, you must always upload or download these files together with their corresponding generated files.
Select the check box Separate PDP metadata from generated files. The PDP metadata root path field then becomes available. You can leave the default pdp path or enter another path.
