9	Complete J2EE development environment with RAD Helps Java™ developers rapidly design, develop, assemble, test, profile and deploy high quality Java/J2EE™, portal, web, web services and SOA applications. Increases productivity and shortens the development and test cycles Is integrated and optimized for IBM WebSphere® Application Server and IBM WebSphere Portal Server products and includes test environments for these products. Shortens the Java learning curve through visual design, with auto-synchronized code modeling. Uses robust capabilities to create SOA applications, including the ability to automatically create necessary SOA components such as WSDL and WSIL files. Applies visual portal development techniques to speed development.
10	Complete EGL development environment with RBD Simplify delivery of modern User Interfaces such as JSF and Rich UI (Web 2.0) interfaces on top of System z applications IBMs Newest development language offering a Modern syntax appeals to today’s developers while targeting multiple development platforms Leverage current business-based developer staff skills to create modern application interfaces Create models in UML and transform directly to EGL to speed application development Enhance integration to existing processing and services and improve application QOS Deploying to WAS, CICS, IMS Migration option for current VA Generator applications
11	Access source code… RDz offers integration into a variety of Source Code Management (SCM) tools as well as a framework for creating SCM integration on your own Variety of vendors supply plug-ins to RDz to provide easy access to processes and source code controlled by their products
12	SCLM Developer Toolkit An Eclipse-based GUI to SCLM including: A SCLM-specific environment A SCLM view providing a tree-based list of: groups types members audit/version information EOU wizards for performing common SCM operations Store both Java and COBOL into SCLM SCLM managed build and deployment services Integration with RDz syntax check and error feedback mechanism Support for accessing source from multiple LPARs in single view
13	Support for ClearCase with zOS resources Manage zOS assets with ClearCase and setup RDz projects Take projects and synchronize the content with a remote location Synchronize manually or let RDz handle it automatically Compare and merge workspace changes with remote copy Syntax check (local or remote) from a single local project Remote syntax check errors mark/point to local project location
14	Integrate other SCMs using CARMA Code the “last mile” of access on the host and the framework takes care of the rest Create navigation views of source code Browse/Filter existing members Create/Delete members View metadata on members Work with different member versions Display both metadata and project members using the CARMA fields view Extract source code to local/remote projects for editing, build, debug Project resources maintain linkage back to SCM location for checkin/checkout, compare, replace, synchronization, etc Extract properties from the SCM to setup builds in zOS remote projects
15	Navigate and deploy runtime resources… RDz bundles the newly announced IBM CICS explorer Navigate resources defined in CICS Regions Verify Program and Transaction resources exist before deployment Use existing definitions to create new resources Adheres to CICS security settings for users
16	Navigate and deploy runtime resources…
17	Develop applications more productively… Work with existing host resources in a workstation environment Integrate development with change management Experience productivity gains with modern development tools Quickly perform mundane tasks Generate code Code assistance and templates Ensure proper governance of application development
18	ISPF-based development Multiple screens/sessions and multiple disparate tools 20 x 80 characters of content
19	RDz-based development Common development environment for COBOL, PL/I, C/C++, and Java Simplified development with more information at your fingertips
20	Navigate datasets or jobs live on zOS Connect to multiple hosts concurrently Respects existing security configurations and user IDs Search, filter, browse, edit, compare, migrate, and allocate new MVS datasets and USS files Copy source code, members, or datasets between systems with a few mouse clicks. Access JES queues submit jobs, view job state, and open output spools Submit TSO or USS commands Add datasets and members into projects to group applications and work items together logically Open an emulator in the IDE to configured hosts
21	Edit and syntax check source code Use advanced editing technology to: Work with multiple source and JCL members concurrently from different systems Execute ISPF commands in the workstation editor (e.g, FIND, CHANGE, INSERT LINE, etc) Use syntax highlighting and code-completion to gain insight into available variables, verbs, and keywords Quickly create programs from code templates, pattern definitions, or UML Ensure compliant COBOL syntax with feedback as you type Issue syntax check commands against project source code Syntax check remotely to ensure proper code structure before compilation Syntax check locally ensure proper code structure and save MIPS. RDz will download code and dependencies (e.g., copybooks) to the workstation and compile using local compilers Syntax Errors are listed in the Remote error list. Double-click on the error to open the dataset and focus on the line where the error occurs
22	Create enterprise services… Web services provide standardized access to assets for different software applications residing on disparate platforms Web service definitions provide abstract interfaces which allow for loose coupling between business components – implementation can vary without affecting consumers You can reuse applications exposed as Web services in a variety of service-oriented architecture frameworks, such as a process choreographer or an enterprise service bus.
23	Create web services for zOS runtimes Build, Deploy, and Test Web services from existing applications Create source code skeletons from web service definitions Map web service definitions to existing application modules Supports traditional languages COBOL PL/I Supports zOS specific runtimes CICS IMS Batch
24	Orchestrate CICS services and screens Model, Deploy, and Test Service Flows using Service Flow Modeler Aggregates multiple CICS transactions into high-level business processes through visual modeling Supports CICS BMS (terminal-based) applications & CICS commarea/container/channel applications Highly optimized CICS runtime supporting Web services and XML interfaces
25	Integrate with other tools … Take advantage of the Eclipse environment to gain access to a wider variety of data and functionality Create or install third-party Eclipse plug-ins to extend and specialize the development experience Work with the IBM Problem Determination tools from the RDz environment Debug Tool File Manager Fault Analyzer
26	Debug Multiple Runtimes Use the cross-platform debugger to debug end-to-end systems as they execute in the runtime CICS IMS DB2 Batch WAS Native LUW From the workstation: View executing source code Step through host code line-by-line Set breakpoints Alter working storage values Alter register values Etc… Debug zOS and distributed code in the same interface even stepping between runtimes and platforms! Requires on IBM Debug Tool
27	Access host-resident data Multiple views of the data within the formatted edit session: Table Single Character Browse and alter VSAM data easily without having to leave your development environment Requires on IBM File Manager
28	Analyse production problems
29	Summary RDz is an Eclipse-based IDE speeding mainframe program maintenance and modern composite (SOA) application development A complete, integrated J2EE or EGL development environment allows development of complete composite applications from a single development environment RDz offers Source Code Management integration tools to access both mainframe and distributed code repositories RDz includes runtime specific tools, such as CICS explorer, for working more productively with the traditional System z runtimes Traditional mainframe programs can be developed or maintained using productivity increasing tools zOS runtime web services can be easily developed, tested, and deployed from the workstation Integration with other IBM and third-party tools offers a more complete development experience
