Opening and closing projects

You can improve the performance of the CICS® PA plug-in by closing projects that you are not using.

Closing a project

When a project is closed you can no longer change it in the Workbench and its resources no longer appear in the Workbench, but it does still exist on the local file system. Closed projects require less memory. Closed projects are indicated by the closed project icon The closed project icon next to the project name.

  1. In the Project Explorer view locate a project that is open and you are not currently using.
  2. Right-click and click Close Project. The project is closed but it is still shown in the Project Explorer view.
