Teleconference
CICS and Rational: Increase business agility through innovative tooling
Available in replay for your convenience, register now.
Developed for: Application programmers, application development managers, systems programmers, CICS programmers, operations managers
Technical level: Intermediate
Ideally, your development teams would have clear visibility into application performance across the enterprise, and understand the relationships among application components. Without this collaborative environment, it’s nearly impossible to drive test workloads for modern Web applications. Using a mix of tools that are not well-integrated, each with its own unique interface, your teams will often lose time becoming proficient in them – when business demands are pressing for faster delivery. This teleconference will show you a better development environment for both traditional and modern application development.
A new Web application is in system test, and there’s a problem: The application looks slow to the user and no one can figure out why. During this teleconference, you’ll see IBM software tools work in concert to help IT teams collaborate and provide a timely, accurate, and documented solution to the problem. Watch a three-person team identify an issue in an application, document the issue, investigate a solution, fix the problem, and deliver an updated and retested application. You will come away with a good understanding of how Rational® and CICS® tools can help your team collaborate to save time and money, while developing enhancements and fixes for cross-platform, enterprise applications.
In this session, you’ll learn how these products work together, and enable you to:
- Exploit the qualities of service associated with the z/OS® platform
- Reduce the cost of application maintenance and business impact of application change
- Use automated discovery capabilities that show actual application relationships
- Generate user loads from remote machines using an easily deployed execution agent
- Simplify the overall service-flow development process
Speakers: David Chadwick, Performance Tester, Product Champion and Manager; Timothy Hahn, Distinguished Engineer, Chief Architect for Enterprise Tools and John Knutson, Marketing Manager, CICS Tools, CICS Communications
