Creating an application

Create an application to contain all the resources that are required to develop your solution.

Before you start:

Read concept information about applications in Applications and libraries.

To convert an existing project into an application, see Converting a project to an application or library.

The order in which you create resources is flexible. You can begin by creating an application, then create resources to add to it, or you can begin by creating libraries of resources, then create an application that refers to them. You can also convert an existing project into an application.

The resources that an application can contain include message flows, ESQL files, and subflows. An application can also refer to one or more libraries. The resources that a library can contain include Adapter connections, CORBA IDL files, and schemas. To create a library of resources, see Creating a library.

To create an application, complete the following steps.

Open the New Application wizard by using one of the following methods:
- Click File > New > Application.
- In the Application Development view, click New, then click Start by creating an application.
- Right-click the white space of the Application Development view, then click New > Application.
- If no files are open in the editor view, the Quick Starts wizards are shown; click Start by creating an application.
Enter a name for the application, then click Next.
Existing libraries are listed; select the libraries that you want to add to the application. If libraries are referenced by the libraries that you have selected, they are shown.
Click Finish.
An application is created and is shown in the Application Development view. You can expand the application to view library references.

Next:

If you have not already done so, you can create a library by following the instructions in Creating a library.
To create resources in an application, see Creating resources in an application.
To add and remove project references to the application, see Adding and removing library references.
To include an existing project in an application, see Including a project in an application or library.
