Rational Developer for System z with EGL

Providing System z developers with tools for building traditional and composite applications in an SOA and Web 2.0 environment

Accelerates the development of Mainframe applications, including COBOL, PL/I, C/C++, Java and Assembler applications, Web services, and SOA linking to the Web. Includes EGL, a single language for deploying code to multiple environments such as CICS, IMS, DB2, WAS, and Javascript (browser) runtimes.

• Help lowers the cost of traditional mainframe application development via selective workload offloading and reducing MIPS utilization for common development activities

• New Rational Developer for System z Unit Test feature creates a personal z/OS environment on each developers desktop or a shared server.

• Helps improve the productivity of developers creating and maintaining mainframe applications and web services before, during and after the transition to a SOA-based environment

• Facilitates shorter development cycles and helps reduce costs by extracting value from existing applications through reuse and transformation, making them accessible as Web services

• Enables developers to rapidly create well-built composite processing that integrates traditional mainframe CICS or IMS transactional applications and WebSphere–based environments

• Read about a Developer Productivity Study (link resides outside of ibm.com) by Branham Group which compares IBM Rational Developer for System z to traditional IBM Mainframe Development Tools

• Simplifies the legacy integration and reduces training, development and maintenance costs

• Integrated development for EGL, a single language solution for an end-to-end solution: If a client needs to develop web systems that also include backend logic and data manipulation that needs to run on distributed, power systems, or System z, EGL provides a unique, seamless single language solution.

• Includes significant enhancements in Version 8.0 that further increase the efficiency of traditional mainframe and Web services creation

• Operating systems supported: AIX, Linux, Windows family, z/OS
