Invoke EGL from Java


The power of Abstractions and Declarative programming

Data access: “Records” provide access to:

SQL, Indexed, Relative, Serial, DL/I, Service data, Message QueuesQueues

Common Verbs for data access (Get, Add, Replace, Delete).Allows complete access to SQL statement if needed.Common Error Handling.

Remote InvocationCall COBOL, RPG, C, Java.Linkage information separated from code.Data mapping, protocol invocation all resolved at runtime, NO code necessary

User Interface: EGL “handlers” hide complexities of

Web (JSF) UIWeb (JSF) UI Reports (BIRT)Portlets Rich Web (Ajax)

Validation/Editing Rules:Via properties in “Data Items. Define formatting & validation rules in a common place.Reuse data items for Records screens web pages

The power of EGL to Leverage ServicesThe power of EGL to Leverage ServicesBuilt into the language

Service part:a generatable part containing code that will be accessed:a generatable part containing code that will be accessed:

from EGL code via local or TCP/IP connection (EGL Service).from any code via HTTP connection (EGL Web service).

Interface part:pUsed to access external Web services as EGL services

WSDL drives automated generation of EGL artifactsEGL takes care of XML to EGL dynamic conversionNo need to master SOA protocols and technologies

At development time…Focus on the business logicImplement SOA design elements: services and interfacesLeverage existing business developers for new SOA developmentI d l t t t /t h l hil di /t ti

Leverage external web services…EGL Interfaces

represent external web servicesare created via import from WSDL

Ignore deployment targets/technology while coding/testing

Deploy EGL services…To any platform (Java to WAS/Tomcat, COBOL to CICS, i5/OS )

As a Web service (uses SOAP)

pallow the EGL developer to stay within the context of EGL programming

Typical Migration/VAGen Questionsyp g

What is the future for Visual Age Generator?Effective 09/2009, VisualAge Generator will be withdrawn from service.

Will EGL/RBD be able to integrate with our current SCM?From an SCM perspective RBD is simply another file system. We have yet to come across an industry standard SCM that has not been able to accommodate RBD.y

What is IBM’s strategy with respect to EGL?EGL is IBM’s new business oriented language. It has evolved from decades worth of knowledge in languages (COBOL RPG CSP VAGen Java) as code generationof knowledge in languages (COBOL, RPG, CSP, VAGen, Java) as code generation technologies. IBM has been able to take the best parts of these languages and incorporate them into one simple, modern, highly productive and highly abstracted language. IBM is working to make EGL an open standard language.

How difficult is EGL to learn?EGL typically takes about 30 days to learn for an experienced procedural (COBOL, RPG) or OO (Java C++ Smalltalk) programmer

Nordisk Copyright BureauNordisk Copyright BureauDeliver copyright registration system over the web

Challenge:Registration of copyrighted material in databases was a manual, cumbersome process

Slow, inefficient reporting copyright information to Producers inquiries

Solution:Allow customers to get info through a web portal (reduce manual data entry and costs)g g p ( y )

Results:Total processing time for new registrations dropped significantly

EGL’s short learning curve, high level of abstraction, and automatic code generation resulted in substantial productivity gains, time savings, and on-schedule project completion.gains, time savings, and on schedule project completion.

“A team of three developers completed WebCover application development on schedule, in just three months. If we had used another approach and not JSF/EGL it would have taken much longer than we would like. ”

Community Health and Counseling ServicesCommunity Health and Counseling Services Deliver Prior Authorization System over the webChallenge:

Respond to government plans for behavioral health managed care system within regulatory compliance demands

Requirement to track prior authorization for patient visits and integrate it with electronic medical record (EMR)

No Web development experience nor Java J2/EE skills (only RPG skills)

Results:L d EGL i l th thLearned EGL in less than a month

Developed and delivered web based prior authorization tracking system in less than 3 months

No need for external resources and total self sufficiency in responding to new application requirements

“It would have been impossible to meet our deadline if we had to learn Java™ before developing the application.”

MorpheusMorpheusTransform a manual/paper process into a web system

Challenge:Th l b d i t f j t bil d l hi li t (BMW R lt P t t )The manual, paper based insurance quote process for major automobile dealerships clients (BMW, Renault, Peugeot, etc.) was becoming a competitive handicap.

Solution:A web based e-business application, providing direct access from dealerships to Insurance systems, to rapidly gather accurate quotes.

Results:EGL’s short learning curve, high level of abstraction, and automatic code generation enabled Morpheus, a System Integrator based in the UK, to leverage developers of different backgrounds in delivering the system to the Client in record time (less than 100 days!).The new system virtually eliminated costly errors and delivered quotes in record time with great customer satisfactionThe new system virtually eliminated costly errors, and delivered quotes in record time, with great customer satisfaction.

“EGL allowed us to staff the application project with developers of different skills and deliver the system in just 100 days!! We are looking forward to our next project…”

KBCKBCUnify application dev across platforms and transaction managersChallenge:

Cost reduction through synergy (reuse solutions for multiple subsidiaries) and integration (support disbursed development t )team)

Solution:Leverage EGL to achieve the Cross-System components development and to eliminate skills silos among their dispersed development teams.

Results:Results:Created interchangeable developers. Shift from monolithic (3270) applications to browser based and open systems. Transform 600 mainframe developers to multi platform developers (Unix, mainframe, WAS, IMS).Enable component based architecture. Shift to component based architecture, product factories and multi channel.

“… We want to avoid the ‘skill silos,’ what we really need is a large group of general developers who should not worry about target platforms and focus on developing business components, and only a small number of technology specialists, so that we can swiftly allocate general developers to upcoming business needs… EGL is helping us achieve this goal…”
