The document discusses Rational Development and Test for System z (RD&T), an IBM software that allows virtualizing z/OS applications development. RD&T consists of a System z architecture simulator, software stack with z/OS and middleware, and agents. It can deploy a virtual RD&T instance on IBM PureApplication in under 5 minutes. The document demonstrates running jobs and interacting with ISPF on the virtualized z/OS environment.

§ RD&T consists of:
ü System z Architecture Simulator
(based on zPDT)
• Provides System z architecture on
Intel x86
• Capable of running any System z
compatible operating system. z/OS &
z/VM currently supported.
• Provides great flexibility in running in
customized environlent
ü Software stack
• Provides a choice of IBM middleware
test environments
• Actual middleware software (including
z/OS) & enterprise compilers
ü RDz and RTCz agents
• Simplified setup
• Needs RTC & RDz client licenses to
activate
