| Overview |
|
IBM Rational® Developer for System z™ V7.1 includes capabilities that can help make traditional mainframe development, Web development, and integrated service-oriented architecture (SOA)-based composite development fast and efficient. COBOL, PL/I, C, C++, High-Level Assembler, and Java™ developer communities can also be more productive when they take advantage of these functions. IBM Rational Developer for System z integrates with and extends the IBM Rational Software Delivery Platform (SDP).
IBM Rational Developer for System z V7.1 is the follow-on replacement product for WebSphere® Studio Enterprise Developer V5, WebSphere Developer for zSeries® V6, and WebSphere Developer for System z V7.0.
IBM Rational Developer for System z V7.1 supports industry standards to simplify the development of rich client interfaces, Web user interfaces, traditional terminal interfaces, and back-end, business logic deployable to CICS®, IMS™, DB2®, Batch, UNIX® System Services, and WebSphere transactional environments. It also includes high-productivity tools for business-oriented developers, new to Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) and Java, which integrate IBM eServer® System z processing via Web services using powerful Web User and Session management.
IBM Rational Developer for System z is optimized for WebSphere software and System z deployment environments, and supports multi-vendor runtime environments. It is powered by the Eclipse open-source platform so developers can adapt and extend their development environment to match their needs and help increase their productivity.
When IBM Rational Developer for System z is used with the IBM Software Development Platform,
developers can extend processing to meet a broad range of requirements, including change management
and test functions, usable directly from the IBM Rational Developer for System z desktop.

Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act
IBM Rational Developer for System z is capable as of October 12, 2007, when used in accordance with associated IBM documentation, of satisfying the applicable requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, provided that any assistive technology used with the product properly interoperates with it. A U.S. Section 508 Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT), containing details on the products accessibility compliance, can be requested at
IPLA and Subscription and Support considerations
IPLA licenses can be transferred from one machine to another within, but not limited to an enterprise. You may aggregate the capacity for all the processors the product is operated on to achieve a more economic price. This will result in a single Proof of Entitlement (PoE). It is your responsibility to manage the distribution of Value Units within the limits of the entitlement of the product license.
Subscription and Support must cover the same capacity as the product license entitlement. Subscription and Support will be available in the country in which the agreement is made.
