Assembling new business processes and applications is a challenge not only because of the high cost of ISV tools. There’s also the issue of complexity in using multiple vendors, and the complexity of the applications themselves. And even if you use your most highly skilled resources, you risk coding errors and reduced productivity while staff learns yet another tool.
With CICS® Transaction Server version 4.1, you have new capabilities in a reliable and familiar technology that can describe and expose business data, and help you quickly assemble new business processes and applications. Used with IBM Rational® tools, it can be a single point of control for application development. Join us for this complimentary teleconference and learn how the new capabilities from Rational Developer for System z® and the Problem Determination tools provide a single interface to all of an application developer’s needs. They help create and maintain workloads on CICS 4.1, while lowering development costs and increasing productivity and quality. In this session, you’ll also see how IBM has enhanced the CICS debugging experience so developers can collaborate, automatically share information, such as breakpoints, and even swap debug sessions with other developers using the same solutions.
We’ll show you how Rational solutions on CICS Transaction Server 4.1 help you save time and costs by:
- Offloading development cycles from the mainframe to the PC
- Offering analysis tools and automatic feedback to indicate where possible coding errors have occurred
- Requiring only a shallow learning curve for Windows®-like IDE for new developers and productivity-enhancing tools for experienced users
- Using Wizards to generate and deploy Web service artifacts without changing original code
Speaker: David Myers, Rational for System z Application Development, Product Line Manager
