IBM Rational Software Conference 2009: Modeling, Architecture & Construction ...Kathy (Kat) Mandelstein
Track Keynote for the Modeling, Architecture & Construction Track at the IBM Rational Software Conference 2009
Software development is a business process requiring many different talents to implement effectively. The software architect and the software developer are key roles for successful software delivery. The architect is responsible for turning requirements into analysis and design models built on a sound architecture. Software architecture is crucial for designing reliable, flexible, and maintainable software systems, and helps communicate the high-level design to the various stakeholders at a level of detail that is meaningful to them. It also allows developers to create software systems that enable reuse and integration with legacy and third-party systems. Developers create the reality of the architecture ideas and models through building, modernizing, extending, integrating, and deploying software. Sessions in this track explore the benefits of a well-architected system, present the tips and techniques of organizations that have made software architecture an important part of their software delivery process, and show how both visual and code-centric development can help organizations adopt the right paradigm for their particular development needs. This track is for architects and developers interested in best practices and the latest innovations in methodology and tools for supporting architectural design, discovery, and control, and software construction and assembly.

The IBM Rational Insight Reporting SolutionMarc Nehme
Enterprise reporting with Rational and non-Rational products.
This segment will discuss and demonstrate the benefits of using the Rational Insight solution for enterprise reporting from Rational and non-Rational data sources. One section will cover Insight’s flexibility and how it can leverage different data source integration methods such as REST and ODBC, to extract data not just from Rational products such as Requisite Pro and but also non-Rational and open source products such as Hudson, Bugzilla, Sonar, and Excel. Another section will cover the benefits of compiling all of this disparate data in an automated fashion from various data sources into one Insight dashboard view, which provides an organization with a higher level of visibility and detail into their software development projects and activities. A final section will cover best practices and overall benefits of implementing one unified reporting solution with Insight across an entire organization, showing the time, effort, and financial savings.
Software Factories in the Real World: How an IBM® WebSphere® Integration Fact...Prolifics
“Getting any software development team to effectively scale to meet the needs of a large integration project is actually harder than it sounds. For a large Automotive Retailer based in Florida, this is exactly what they needed to do. They needed a large amount of integration to be built between their brand new Point of Sales system and their new SAP back-end. In this session, you will hear about how tools such as Rational Software Architect and WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit were integrated with a Rational Team Concert-based development environment to set up super efficient software factory employing techniques such as Model-Driven Development and Continuous Integration to help this retailer keep their customers’ wheels on the road.”

1214 deploying rational insight in a heterogenous environmentPaulo Lacerda
This presentation discuss and demonstrate the value of a Rational Insight deployment in a heterogeneous environment. The first section will cover the topology of this diverse environment and wide-range compatibility with Rational Insight, which includes Multiple Jazz Team Servers, third party data sources, hosted on Linux and Windows servers with DB2 and Oracle database servers.
The next section covers the benefits of compiling all of this disparate data into an Insight dashboard, and realize traceability in reporting, to provide an organization with a higher level of visibility into their software development projects and activities and additional reports to provide lower level detail.
The final section covers Best Practices and Lessons Learned from deploying Rational Insight into this type of environment, including performance enhancements, time savings, suggestions, and helpful tips. This will also cover the overall benefits and value of deploying Rational Insight in your organization.
We had this presentation running on one of the screens in our booth at the April 4, 2013, Innotech Dallas/SharePoint TechFest. We have been excited by the developments in the latest release of Visual Studio and it's ability to work seamlessly with Microsoft's Azure.

IBM Rational Host Access Transformation Services (HATS) can dynamically transform your terminal-based applications into rich web pages. It is highly customizable and built on Java EE technology. We'll discuss some lessons learned from a very (very) complex HATS engagement. We'll discuss proper development strategies, and how to distribute workload across team members. We'll introduce a novel approach to unit testing advanced customizations using JUnit, and will also talk about how to address functional testing.
There are some appropriate ways to deploy and implement IBM DevOps tools including Team Concert DOORs NG, Quality Manager, and the various Rational IDE's. However, there are many wrong ways to do it wrong. This presentation, from InterConnect 2016, focuses on trends that we have seen over the past few years that simply, don't work, and how to avoid the pitfalls.
IBM InterConnect 2015: Dax 5162-C-ing is Believing:
Finding talent for C/C++ development for Unix systems can be a challenge. However, it does not have to be so difficult. Using Rational Developer, you can have more junior developers, or cross-skilled developers do the kind of slick development that punches above their weight class. See how the productivity features of the editors far exceed what vi can do. See how static code analysis can reduce your defect cycle time, improve code maintenance, and performance of your applications.
IBM Rational Host Access Transformation Services (HATS) is a tool for modernizing IBM i 5250 and mainframe 3270 telnet applications. This presentation, given at IBM Innovate 2014, demonstrates how HATS can turn those green screen applications into JAX-WS or RESTful JSON web services, how to consume Program Call Markup Language (PCML) enabled IBM i Programs, and how to to integrate with databases using SQL, JDBC, and the Java Persistence API (JPA) 2.0 features of Rational Application Developer. Finally we describe using servlet filters to further enhance the abilities of the Rational HATS entry servlet.
Rational Developer for i (RDi) is the IDE of choice for editing, verifying, analyzing, and managing RPG, COBOL, and C/C++ on the IBM i (i.e the AS/400). If you come from a SEU/PDM development environment and are looking to move to a robust development environment, or if you wish to use the new RPG language features, you need to read through this to learn how to adopt the product.
In this presentation we cover the new features of RDi 9.1, including the new debugger and code coverage tooling. We also demonstrate editing features of the LPEX editor, such as find/replace with regular expressions. We cover the screen and report designers as well.
Software Archaeology and Code Refactoring with Rational Developer for System ...Strongback Consulting
Presented at the North Florida Rational User Group, March 25, 2014
Refactoring is a rather new term in the COBOL world. It is something that the Java, .NET, PHP, and Python developers have been doing this for years. In the COBOL world, there are countless programs that appear to have stopped maturing once they've gone into production. Refactoring can make your applications more manageable, and stable over time.
Software archaeology is the process by which you discover what you've got, what you've forgotten, and where code originates.
In this meeting, we'll how a z/OS developer can use these strategies with RDz to improve their code, and their productivity using RDz. We'll focus on the new features of the COBOL and PL/I editors, performance hierarchy diagrams, code generation wizards, the Software Analyzer code review features, and MVS tooling that allows the developer to work with partitioned and sequential datasets, VSAM files, and GDG's.
So you've just inherited several COBOL programs from a newly retired co-worker. These programs are huge, and you have only a slight idea what they do, or what they touch. How do you go about discovering how they work? This is where IBM Rational Developer for System Z (RDz) and IBM Rational Asset Analyzer (RAA) can help you understand what your source does, what it affects, and what risks are at play in changing those systems.
This was presented at the 2013 IBM Innovate Conference in Orlando, Florida.

Build Smarter User Interfaces for Legacy Applications with IBM Rational Host ...Strongback Consulting
lder interface systems such as those using COBOL on IBM AIX, or RPG on IBM i are expensive to replace and often difficult to integrate. See how to quickly leverage these systems in an environment without rewriting or having access to the original source code. Using IBM Rational Host Access Transformation Services (HATS), create REST-based or SOAP-based Web services to call from other systems. Presenters demonstrate a customer solution that was originally written in COBOL on AIX that now uses HATS Web services. Presenters show how using the new Dojo features in HATS, teams can rapidly build a new interface without rip and replace of the old system. HATS and Dojo help dramatically reduce data entry errors, improve customer call times, and make it easier to train personnel to use the applications. The session includes demos.
What's new in Host Access Transformation Services from IBM Rational version 8: including new Dojo widgets, new templates, JAX-RS REST based web services. Also new support for the iPad.
An overview of IBM Rational Host Access Transformation Services. Quickly modernize your green screen applications, reduce data entry errors, and integrate legacy applications into SOA with HATS.
