Gather files

The information in your MFS source files is used to determine what classes and class attributes to generate. Choose the MFS source files you want to use.

Note: The IMS Web Studio tool uppercases the filenames of all MFS files in the project directory.

There are four ways to get MFS files into your project:

1. Use the Download from host button. When you click this button, you get a Logon dialog box.

After logging on, the Download dialog box displays.

2. Use the Find MFS file on workstation button. After you click this button, an Open File dialog box displays. Look for one MFS file at a time, on your workstation.

3. From a DOS command prompt, you can copy files into your project directory. After you copy the files, click on the Refresh list button and the copied files are displayed in the MFS files in project list box. Only .MFS files are displayed.

4. Use FTP from the command line, or any other FTP client application, to download MFS source files to your project directory. Be sure to give the files an .MFS extension. Entering: “get CDCIP1 CCDIP1.MFS” will do the download and rename in one step.
