and wizards to assist in difficult and complex operations.
Each of the product choices mentioned above includes the same set of System
z application development tools previously offered in IBM Rational Developer
for System
z V7.1 but enhanced with additional new functionality as described below.
The core System
z application development tools include key capabilities for improving
the productivity of your System z application developers, including
CICS, IMS, DB2,
Batch, and UNIX System
Services development
- 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,

Customers must purchase independent HATS licenses for deployment
- Provide integrated, rich client access for Rational Developer for System z licensed
developers with TSO/ISPF access through a powerful GUI front-end.
Enterprise Service Tools
Enterprise Service Tools is an integrated perspective that assists a Web
Service 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 non-terminal 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 CICS Service
Flow feature allows you to develop a comprehensive Web service that collects
and processes data from multiple sources, such as programs, screens, databases,
and Web service invokable processing. A specific Service Flow project is included
in the Enterprise Service tooling to facilitate service flow creation.
The CICS Service
Flow runtime option (included in CICS Service Flow Feature) must be installed
to run a Service Flow project in CICS Transaction Server (CICS TS) V3.1
or V3.2. Certain functionality, for example channel and container access,
requires Service Flow Runtime V3.2.
The CICS Service
Flow feature provides components that extend CICS TS by delivering adapters that exploit CICS interfaces
to invoke the CICS terminal-oriented
transactions, COMMAREA programs, and Channel programs required by the Web
service generated from the service flow project.
The CICS Service
Flow Runtime option 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 CICS Service
Flow Runtime option 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 Transaction Server 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 Software
announcement 205-303, dated November 22, 2005.
New in V7.5
A host of significant new functions and feature enhancements in V7.5 build
on an already comprehensive set of features. They support the following capabilities:
System configuration, performance, and consumability
- The host code has been re-engineered for scalability, decreasing resource
requirements by over 50%. The client installation has been reworked to eliminate
many un-needed components resulting in a 50% decrease in typical customer
install size. This results in much smaller hardware requirements for users
both on and off the host lowering hardware costs for customers.
- The Host installation and configuration process is simplified to reduce
the amount of time taken to install, configure, or upgrade the product after
initial purchase.
- The IBM Rational Developer
for System
z installation panels have been reworked to allow users to choose just
the portions of the package they feel are needed to reduce install size and
visual clutter on the developer interface
- The CARMA SCM integration framework is enhanced to reduce resource needs
and increase scalability. The CARMA framework now offers an alternative invocation
method which launches the SCM integration as a light-weight process instead
of an initiator-based invocation.
- The File Manager integration host-resource requirements are reduced when
used in combination with IBM File Manager V9.1, to allow greater scalability where
more users can access data on the host concurrently.
Core z/OS development
- Manageable property groups of build/syntax check properties can be easily
created and applied to separate zOS projects. This simplifies the tedious
process of setting up and determining which properties apply to which zOS
application projects.
- We now alternative include syntax in COBOL and PL/I, specifically, the
support -INC and ++INCLUDE verbs as if they were copy statements.
- A new API is included for customers who have developed custom pre-processors.
Pre-processors can now be called from a local syntax check operation so that
customized development processes can be handled in the local environment as
well as the remote environment.
- The function that allows online zOS project assets to be downloaded when
disconnecting from the mainframe has been improved for performance, understandability,
and usability.
- The Show dependencies function now is available from local projects as
well as remote projects.
- The compare view now allows updates to the content being compared. This
is an improvement over the read-only compare editor previously offered.
- New code generation options are included to generate data access logic
to structured data in QSAM/VSAM files. This speeds application development
by allowing users to focus on business logic programming rather than data
access.
- Several smaller enhancements are added to the COBOL editing environment
such as:
- Support for copy-replace verbs
- HEX editing support
- Simplified ISPF command support
- Visual indicators in the column margin area
Next-generation development environment for COBOL
The COBOL editor has been enhanced to add capabilities such as:
- Syntax-Check as you type -- This increases productivity by notifying developers
immediately when syntax errors occur, eliminating the need for developers
to submit syntax check options as often.
- A refactoring engine offering intelligent wizards to perform code changes,
including the ability to preview and approve changes, such as:
- Data-element renaming. Data-Element renaming saves time and offers better
reliability over simplistic find-replace
- Remove Noise Words -- Cleans the COBOL program syntax to remove un-need
and outdated verbs.
- Editor link-ability that assists with easily finding and jumping to other
elements in your applications. For example, while working on a COBOL data
item you may click the "open declaration" action to jump to the working storage
definition of the item, even opening a copybook in an editor if necessary.
- New data-rich code analysis views that include searchable displays series
of perform statements
COBOL design and development using UML
UML profiles for COBOL applications have been included in the IBM Rational Developer
for System
z media. UML designers can
- Use the COBOL profiles in IBM Rational Software Architect to take
generic UML class diagrams and activity diagrams and transform them to COBOL-specific
application specifications.
- Feed UML models into IBM Rational Developer for System z where they can be transformed
into COBOL programs, copybooks, data definitions, and application logic.
This capability helps speed application design to initial implementation
as well as providing application documentation for better communications between
teams.
SOA and Web services
Several Enterprise Service Tools usability enhancements have been added
to simplify and improve the Web service development experience. The Service
Flow modeler has included over a dozen usability enhancements spanning from
simplified screen-flow recording to integrated deployment. The single-service
wizards have been updated to include first-class meet-in-the-middle support,
including new wizards and walkthroughs to help developers with all service
development scenarios.
There are also Web service creation enhancements including:
- Support for Multi-segment messages in IMS Web Services
- Meet-in-the-middle support for IMS PL/I Web Services
- Support for multi-dimensional arrays in PL/I web services
- XML System Service generation options to offload XML processing to zOS
specialty processing engines
- The ability to generate Web Service artifacts directly to remote systems
via Remote Systems Explorer
Integrated CICS Explorer and Application Deployment Manager tooling
IBM Rational Developer
for System
z includes an integrated copy of the CICS Explorer.
The CICS Explorer
is enhanced with the IBM Rational Developer for System z Application Deployment Manager
(ADM). The CICS Explorer
and ADM allow you to query, define, and install needed CICS resources. The combination of CICS Explorer
and IBM Rational Developer
for System
z simplifies the CICS development process by removing or automating several
manual steps in the service deployment and testing cycle. The developer no
longer has to return to the green screen to define many of the CICS application
resources they need for testing. IBM Rational Developer for System z also
gives developers the ability, if permitted in the CICS environment, to define and manage
their own CICS resource
definitions to speed applications development. Combined with the IBM Rational Developer
for System
z Manifest Process Tool tech preview, developers and systems programmers
can collaborate in an easier manner to improve and speed CICS application
development workflow.
The IBM Rational Developer
for System
z Enterprise Service Tools have been integrated with ADM to define and
manage CICS application
resources that need to be defined for CICS Web Services and Service Flows to
be deployed and tested. The resource definitions can be tied to the service
artifacts generated by IBM Rational Developer for System z and managed as part of the
software life cycle.
Integrated application life cycle
Enhanced support for managing zOS projects with IBM Rational ClearCase including:
- Local workstation projects can be managed by ClearCase and then associated with
a specific host for remote development and testing
- Resources stored in the local project can easy be automatically moved
to or retrieved from to System z allowing synchronization between host and
workstation
- Remote syntax check can be performed on local projects associated with System
z
WebSphere Service
Registry and Repository support via the WebSphere Service Registry and Repository
Eclipse plugins to allow integration with Web Service test and production
governance systems
Enhanced System
z Debugger support including:
- Integration with the LPEX editor facilitating better flow from editing
to debugging
- Use of the outline view while debugging
- Content assist while entering debug commands
- New Debug Console commands that can also be entered in a command file
are added to allow for unattended debugging.
Enhanced File Manager Integration enables access to Keyed Sequence Data
Set (KSDS) files from the IBM Rational Developer for System z workbench including:
- Browsing and updating datasets from the workbench
- Supporting template-driven display of VSAM, PDS Member, and Sequential
File data
- Supporting large dataset display and edit
- New support for File Manager template editing from the workstation
- New VSAM utility operations such as copy and allocate-like available from
the Remote System Explorer browser
Fault Analyzer Integration allows users to:
- Browse Fault Analyzer ABEND reports on CICS, IMS, Batch, Java, WebSphere, and other runtimes.
- View dump selections relating to ABENDs.
- Annotate reports to share comments with other users who browse the same
reports.
- Allows new split-screen mode in the dump analyzer, allowing users to view
disparate parts of the same dump contents to compare data in different parts
of the dump easily.
- Includes reference the same editor sessions used for code editing instead
of module sidefiles. This offers a more integrated experience using the same
data for all problem determination tool integrations and developer sessions
leading from editing to fault analysis more seamlessly.

Manifest Processing Tool technology preview
This technology preview provides a systems programmer compliment to the
developer Application Deployment Manager. The developer can send requests
for groups of CICS resources
(a manifest) to be defined, installed, or altered to the system programmer
via CICS.
By using the Manifest Processing Tool, systems programmers can view requests
from developers and easily approve, define, and install required resources
with a single click. Systems programmers also have the option to approve only
portions of the request and edit requested resource definitions when required.
IBM Rational Developer
for System
z with EGL
IBM Rational Developer
for System
z with EGL integrates the capabilities of IBM Rational Developer for System z as
described previously with IBM Rational Business Developer V7.5 to facilitate development
of EGL driven Web and Web 2.0 Rich UI applications for System z.
IBM Rational Business
Developer delivers the latest technology tools to support the definition and
testing and debugging of EGL applications and services. It also offers a generation
engine that transforms the EGL source into Java or COBOL code optimized for deployment
to a broad variety of application hosting environments including J2EE servers
(such as WebSphere,
and Apache Tomcat) and traditional transactional systems (such as IBM System z CICS and IMS).
EGL hides the details of the target execution platforms and associated
middleware, freeing developers to focus on the business problem rather than
on the underlying implementation technologies. Developers who have little
or no experience with Java and Web technologies can use EGL to
create enterprise-class services and applications quickly and easily. Developers
with little or no experience with mainframe programming can quickly create
highly optimized System z services and applications.
IBM Rational Developer
