In addition, IBM Rational Developer for i for SOA Construction V7.1 is delivered in place of IBM Rational Developer for i V7.1.

IBM Rational Developer for i for SOA Construction is a strategic IBM offering. The product includes the following key features:

  • Provides an Eclipse-based integrated development environment for creating Web and traditional i applications
  • Includes IBM Rational Business Developer V7.1, which comes with the Enterprise Generation Language (EGL) programming language that provides advanced Web 2.0 capabilities
  • Can help you build innovative rich Web applications, and user interfaces, allowing you to link to the backend RPG, COBOL, and EGL business applications
  • Helps to simplify and accelerate the development of service oriented architecture (SOA) applications, modernize legacy systems, and reduce development costs

If you acquire these editions, you are entitled to one Named user license for each of the features in WebSphere Development Studio for i 6.1, and one Authorized user license for IBM Rational Developer for i for SOA Construction V7.1.

Effective October 28, 2008, you have the option to remove any or all of the WebSphere Development Studio features, and/or IBM Rational Developer for i for SOA Construction. You can also substitute IBM Rational Developer for i for SOA Construction with IBM Rational Developer for i. Regardless whether you choose to do the removal or substitution, the remaining WebSphere Development Studio features and IBM Rational Developer for i will revert back from the initial discounted prices to the full prices.

The other content in the existing editions remains the same.

IBM Rational Developer for i (5733-RDI) is now offered at an attractive price when you have the Application Development ToolSet (ADTS) feature of WebSphere Development Studio for i (5761-WDS). This means you can trade up or upgrade to 5733-RDI at a discount if you have ADTS licenses.
