servlets) into a common interface. This enables developers with diverse technical backgrounds, and
even those unfamiliar with Java, to build rich, data-driven applications.
-
Visually map and construct Web applications using Model-View-Controller design with Java Server
Faces and Struts
-
Quickly build rich Web user interfaces and Web forms with reusable drag-and-drop Java Server Faces
(JSF) components and generate code for event handling, user input validations, and data binding
-
Easily build rich-function Web pages in a visual or source editing mode using the advanced-function
HTML and JSP editor
-
Connect your Web applications to relational databases, Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) components, and
Web services using simple point-and-click tools that support Service Data Objects, an emerging
industry standard for accessing heterogeneous data.
-
Accelerate portal, SOA, and J2EE using Rational® Application Developer tools and wizards.
-
Leverage existing skills and shorten the Java learning curve with drag-and-drop user interface (UI)
components and point-and-click database connectivity.
-
Improve code quality with automated tools for applying J2EE coding standard reviews, component and
Web Service unit testing, and multitier runtime analysis.
-
Visualize and graphically edit code through the UML Visual Editor for Java and EJB.
CICS, IMS, DB2, Batch, and UNIX System Services development
-
Improve the productivity of your developers with development and maintenance tools for z/OS (COBOL,
PL/I, C, C++, Java, High-Level Assembler) applications and Microsoft Windows (COBOL, PL/I)
applications, as well as access to AIX® file systems, z/OS and UNIX System Services file systems,
submitting z/OS jobs, monitoring z/OS Job execution queues, and debugging artifacts after access
-
Speed coding by using the visual configurable editor and statement assisted creation, and verify
syntax of COBOL, PL/I, C, C++, High-Level Assembler, and Java languages
-
Provide open access by developing, testing, and deploying Web Services to WebSphere, CICS, and IMS
environments

Enterprise Service Tools deploying to CICS Service Flow Feature
Enterprise Service Tools
Enterprise Service Tools is an integrated perspective that assists a CICS developer in the following
tasks:
-
Creating a CICS Web service that uses a new or existing CICS application as its application
component
-
Creating a IMS SOAP Gateway Web service that uses a new or existing IMS application as its
application component
-
Creating a Web service that is not runtime-specific from a new or existing application
-
Using the System z Database Application Generator to create a COBOL CICS application that accesses a
z/OS DB2 database
-
Developing a comprehensive Web service that collects and processes data from multiple sources,
including CICS nonterminal applications, CICS terminal applications, and Web services
Enterprise Service Tools combines capabilities that were formerly available in the XML Services for
the Enterprise plug-in and in the Service Flow Modeler plug-in. Enterprise Service Tools features
an enhanced user interface that increases usability and simplifies the overall service flow
development process.
CICS Service Flow Feature
The Enterprise Service Tools provide six types of projects that allow you to transform an existing
CICS application to a Web service or to integrate an existing CICS application into a Web service.
The service flow specific project can also be driven by MQ Messages and CICS Transaction Gateway.
The service flow project view is one of the six project views provided in Enterprise Service Tools.
It allows you to develop a comprehensive Web service that collects and processes data from multiple
sources, such as programs, screens, databases, and Web service invocable processing.
The CICS Service Flow Feature must be installed to run the Service Flow project. The CICS Service
Flow Feature requires CICS Transaction Server (CICS TS) V3.1.
The CICS Service Flow feature provides components that extend CICS TS by providing adapters that
exploit CICS interfaces to invoke the CICS terminal-oriented transactions and COMMAREA programs
required by the Web service generated from the service flow project.
In support of the latest capabilities of the Service Flow Modeler in WebSphere Developer for System
z V7.0, the CICS Service Flow Feature is enhanced as follows:
-
Integration with Web services and MQ environments is more easily enabled by providing for the use of
CICS TS channels and containers as input and output interfaces to a service flow.
-
Support for invoking Web services as part of a service flow is introduced
-
Additional management and configuration capability have been introduced together with improved
tracing.
The CICS Service Flow Runtime delivers adapters for access to existing CICS transaction and
application interfaces using non-invasive techniques, so that the CICS application assets
orchestrated by the service flow do not have to be altered to support the CICS business service
flow. This helps enable the fast reuse of existing assets while helping to minimize the risk of the
new implementation. If required, the CICS business service can persist state data related to the
business service between multiple invocations of the CICS application interfaces.
Where there is a requirement to integrate information from non-CICS applications into the CICS
business service, the Service Flow Runtime delivers a Web services adapter and a WebSphere MQ
adapter that enable the CICS business service flow to access any application supporting these
interfaces, wherever the application may reside in the enterprise solution architecture.
The base capabilities provided by CICS TS to access CICS application interfaces extend to
capabilities such as:
-
Web services
-
Link3270 Bridge
-
Distributed Program Link (DPL)
-
WebSphere MQ Adapter
-
Front End Programming Interface (FEPI)
The CICS Service Flow Runtime exploits these capabilities when generating the CICS business service
function to provide the implementation needed to reuse the existing CICS applications as components
in the CICS business service flow.
For more information on the CICS Service Flow Feature, refer to
205-303

Enterprise Generation Language
To increase the flexibility of IBM's Software Development Platform, IBM is introducing a new modular
approach to packaging selected components. The first step in this modularization is to decouple the
Enterprise Generation Language (EGL) development environment from the Eclipse-based Software
Development Platform products in which it has been hosted (for example, Rational Application
Developer, WebSphere Developer for System z) and to make it available as an EGL extension, a
separately orderable and installable product feature. WebSphere Developer for System z V7.0
therefore does not contain any EGL development tools.
IBM is currently updating and enhancing the EGL development tools and plans to make them available
in early 2007 maintaining full upward compatibility with previous versions of EGL.
WebSphere Developer for zSeries V6 customers who currently use EGL should continue to develop EGL
applications using WebSphere Developer for zSeries V6 until the equivalent EGL functionality becomes
available as a product extension to WebSphere Developer for System z V7.0 and the other Software
Development Platform products. These customers will be entitled to obtain the EGL Extension
product.
VisualAge® Generator Customers should consider converting their applications to EGL and migrating
to WebSphere Developer for zSeries V6 or Rational Application Developer V6. These converted
applications will be upwardly compatible to the EGL Extension product, when available.
All statements regarding IBM's plans, directions, and intent are subject to change or withdrawal
without notice.
