9 Z/Linux Take advantage of cutting edge build environments. Creates faster turnaround for developers Reduces z/OS cycles which saves $ Dollars Provides environment portability

10 TPF & zTPF Value Adds The ability to rapidly develop TPF programs for z/Linux or TPF 4.1 with professional compiler support while maintaining IBM compatibility. Support for TPFGI and z/TPFGI ( TPF Software ) IBM Toolkit Interface Support for LCM Load Control Management ( Sosa-Cousins )

11 TPF 4.1 zTPF Move to z/Linux & build for TPF 4.1 to cross the “ single source “ bridge…then move to z/TPF Dignus supports _Packed following IBM semantics (no source changes) Dignus to support #pragma map Dignus offers the -ftrim option which "trims” trailing white space ( no source changes ) Decimal declarations supported by Dignus

12 Dignus Partners for TPF Sosa Cousins LCM Load Control Management Coordinates development and promotion process Leverages extensive metadata to ensure quality Auditing facilities track source versions Designed specifically for TPF development – yet flexible and extensible for development for other systems (e.g., Websphere, z/OS, etc.)

14 Dignus Partners for TPF TPF Software TPF/GI ® Interactive Client/Server Testing for TPF Seamless GUI testing and debugging for C, C++, Assembler and SabreTalk The best of the PC and TPF Worlds

15 TPF/GI’s architecture is 100% client/server TPF/GI is an interactive, client/server tool that allows programmers to debug TPF applications more productively than any other product.  Intuitive use of color;  Easy pull-down and right-click menus;  Multiple windows for simultaneous display of data;  Tool buttons and tool tips;  Point-and-click and drag-and-drop actions;

16 Dignus Summary Integration with TPF/GI, LCM & IBM Toolkit IBM plug Compatibility TPF 4.1 & z/Linux support z/Linux migration aids to assist in bldg TPF on z/Linux Exceptional Customer Support
