Solution Recap



ADTS, PDM/SEU – Yesterday's Tools

 ADTS/PDM/SEU are stabilized
– (i.e. don't expect any more features)
 As of V6R1
 You cannot take advantage of new COBOL/RPG/ILE
language features in V7R1
 New RPG Features NOT in PDM/SEU – RDP ONLY!!
 MERGE, Array Support, Global Variables, and
consuming result sets in RPG and COBOL
 RPG Open Access – redirect RPG IV native I/O
operations to other devices
 Green screen development ?!? – a Commodore 64 had
a better interface!
 No cut/paste/copy, text search, or content assist
 Poor or no integration with other tools



What is IBM® Rational® Developer for Power Systems Software
and why is it important?

 Rich IDE for RPG and COBOL
Productivity Integration development
 Productivity
 Modernization of tool sets &
processes
Development Modernization
 Integration with other tools



Productivity & Innovation – why its important

Productivity: The measure of output from a process, such as output per labor-hour.

Higher More Cost Application
Profit Output Effectiveness Modernization

¹ Based on IBM customer study, “Making a Business Case for IBM Rational Developer for i”



Opportunity Cost Savings

Assumptions for this example:
Assume 3 months of
lowered productivity




Simple ROI: (does not assume time saved would be directed to higher-value activity)




Your Mileage May Vary… but often for the better
 E.g. shorter learning period
 E.g. greater productivity gain

IBM I Web Services and Java Tools

 IBM i Web development tools is an option component that you can install to get the
ability to create new business applications that use a Web-based front end to
communicate with the business logic in an ILE or non-ILE language program on a
IBM i server.

 IBM i Web services are self-contained, modular applications that can be described,
published, located, and invoked over the Internet, employing on-demand
integration of services.

 The Web Service wizard creates a bottom-up IBM i program Web service with
Web service operations that call one or more server programs or service program
procedures on IBM i systems.



IBM I Web Services and Java Tools (continued)

 The Web Service wizard works in the context of a Web project for creation,
deployment, testing, generation of a proxy, and publication to a Universal
Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) registry of Web services.

 The IBM i Web Services and Java™ tools can be installed only if the appropriate
prerequisites are installed.

Solution Recap



Productivity – why its important

Productivity: The measure of output from a process, such as output per labor-hour.



PDM/SEU – Yesterday's Tools

 PDM/SEU are stablized (i.e. don't expect any more features)
 As of V6R1
 You cannot take advantage of new COBOL/RPG/ILE language features in V7R1
 New RPG Features NOT in PDM/SEU – RDP ONLY!!
 MERGE, Array Support, Global Varialbes, and consuming result sets in RPG and COBOL
 RPG Open Access – redirect RPG IV native I/O operations to other devices

 Green screen development =
 No cut/paste/copy, text search, or content assist
 Huh? You don't know what content assist is??
