Rational Developer for System z (RDz) overview What is RDz

Eclipse-based IDE speeding modern composite (SOA) application development

RDz supports Enterprise Modernization Links WAS and core system z processing

Supports common IDE for COBOL, PL/I, C, C++, HLASM, Java, EGL and web services

Transforms UML to COBOL source code

Provides interactive access to z/OS for development, debug, job generation, submission, monitoring, command execution

Supports new and existing runtimes (CICS, IMS, Batch, USS, DB2 SP, WAS)

RDz supports SOA Enables CICS and IMS applications for web

services and SOA

Supports for J2EE, JCA, XML, web services

MVS PDS members

Data set characteristics

Agenda for todayTraditional z/OS Maintenance - Bringing your Development Organization into

the 21st Century

RDz and z/OS Traditional Maintenance and Support

PD Tools and RDz

RDz - PL/I and HLASM Development

RAA - for Traditional Maintenance and for producing more efficient COBOL applications

Menu Manager and HATS to front-end ISPF tools

The Data Perspective


RDz and PD tools for a single developer desktop

RDz workstation zOS

File Manager

Fault Analyzer

Debug Tool

RDz

Host

RDz works with the existing PD tools on the host; not different versions

RDz accesses the PD tools function as you would see it on the green screen and exposes/enhances it through the windows client

RDz facilitates easy access to all three tools at the same time for an integrated desktop development experience

Displaying Fault Analyzer report

Editing data with File Manager

Debugging application with

Debug Tool

Developing System z Application with RDz


Bridging Development and Analysis in the IDE Bring application analysis information into

the IDE to aid in program development and understanding Link code to data and runtime resources

Visualize code structure and flow

Understand the effect of changes made in the IDE when deployed into production Run impact analysis on code changes to

determine effected production modules

Size testing efforts and create workspaces forchanges


RDz Adoption Patterns for success1. Start small and get the tool installed and configured

Pick a project (Enabling for Web Services, Need for more productivity, etc)

Integrate your common tools. source code management systems, and the IBM Problem Determination tools (Debug Tool, File Manager, Fault Analyzer)

Configure the tool according to your shop standards (templates, code libraries, build process, etc)

2. Try out RDz using your software development process Find out what works and what does not work, develop recommendations

Work with the IBM teams, we want you to be successful


RDz Adoption Patterns for success (cont)3. Get trained!!

Don’t expect 40 year mainframe veterans to adjust from green screen to GUI overnight

Learn all the capabilities in RDz you can take advantage of, there are many things to either supplement or replace manual steps you have today

Teach people the common usage patterns of the tools to best save MIPS and money

4. Setup mentor groups, power users, or a support organization Have a go-to person/group for guidance so as to not discourage new users

Power users can help train others and drive adoption ensuring success
