Rational software - Software and system development
Pre-requisites

One of the following environments, including batch functions with the appropriate prerequisites:

  • z/OS V1.6 (5694-A01) or later, with the following base elements
    Binder (Link-Editor)
    High Level Assembler
    Interactive System Productivity Facility (ISPF)
    IBM Language Environment
    UNIX System Services
    Hierarchical File System (HFS)
    IP Services component of IBM Communications Server
    IBM HTTP Server (if using the VAGen or EGL Java Wrapper Support)
  • SMP/E V3.1 - This version is available as 5655-G44 or as an element in z/OS (5694-A01)


Co-requisites
  • For compiling generated COBOL programs, one of the following:
    • IBM COBOL for OS/390 and VM V2.1, or later (5648-A25). This is the minimum requirement. Use of this product does not enable Unicode support for generated COBOL programs used with IBM Rational COBOL Runtime.
    • Enterprise COBOL for z/OS V3.1, or later (5655-G53). Use of this product enables the Unicode support for generated COBOL programs used with IBM Rational COBOL Runtime.
  • DB2 UDB — One of the following must be installed on the host in order to use DB2 Database access on z/OS:
    • DB2 for OS/390 and z/OS V7 (5675-DB2)
    • DB2 for z/OS V8 (5625-DB2)
  • IBM/ESA — IMS/ESA V7.1, or later (5655-B01) must be installed on the host to support applications using IMS database and data communications:
  • WebSphere MQ — WebSphere MQ for z/OS V5.3.1, or later (5655-F10) must be installed on the host to support message queuing with generated applications:
  • CICS Transaction Server — One of the following must be installed to support applications generated for execution under CICS:
    • IBM CICS Transaction Server for OS/390 V1.3 (5655-147)
    • IBM CICS Transaction Server for z/OS V2.2 or later (5697-E93) (This requires PTF UQ69442 be installed)
    • IBM CICS Transaction Server for z/OS V3.1 (5655-M15)
  • CICS Transaction Gateway — One of the following should be installed to support applications using the J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA) to invoke CICS Transaction Gateway and assuming that a z/OS gateway server is desired:
    • CICS Transaction Gateway V5 (5724-A75)
    • CICS Transaction Gateway V6 (5655-M69)
  • IBM SDK for z/OS Java 2 Technology Edition — IBM SDK for z/OS Java 2 Technology Edition, V1.4 (5655-I65) must be installed on the host to support compiling and execution of generated Java applications running under Unix System Services
  • WebSphere Application Server — One of the following must be installed to support the execution of a web based programs utilizing generated Java or that require a Web Transaction Gateway:
    • WebSphere Application Server V5 (5655-I35)
    • WebSphere Application Server V6 (5655-N01)
