4. IBM Software Group | Rational software Enterprise Modernization solutions A smarter way to maximize the value of your applications, people and teams Applications TeamsPeople For more information, visit: www.ibm.com/rational/modernization Consolidate team infrastructure to increase efficiency, collaboration, and governance across software lifecycle Reduce application maintenance costs, increase agility to respond to change and increase overall quality Achieve greater business agility and productivity by leveraging existing domain knowledge and new talent 4

5. IBM Software Group | Rational software Rational Developer for System z (RDz) overview  What is RDz  Eclipse-based IDE speeding modern composite (SOA) application development  RDz supports Enterprise Modernization  Links WAS and core system z processing  Supports common IDE for COBOL, PL/I, C, C++, HLASM, Java, EGL and web services  Transforms UML to COBOL source code  Provides interactive access to z/OS for development, debug, job generation, submission, monitoring, command execution  Supports new and existing runtimes (CICS, IMS, Batch, USS, DB2 SP, WAS)  RDz supports SOA  Enables CICS and IMS applications for web services and SOA  Supports for J2EE, JCA, XML, web services MVS PDS members Data set characteristics TSO Command Shell Configurable Editor USS Command Shell Disconnected -vs- Connected JES subsystem view Service Flow

6. IBM Software Group | Rational software Agenda for today Traditional z/OS Maintenance - Bringing your Development Organization into the 21st Century  RDz and z/OS Traditional Maintenance and Support  PD Tools and RDz  RDz - PL/I and HLASM Development  RAA - for Traditional Maintenance and for producing more efficient COBOL applications  Menu Manager and HATS to front-end ISPF tools  The Data Perspective

7. IBM Software Group | Rational software RDz and PD tools for a single developer desktop RDz workstation zOS File Manager Fault Analyzer Debug Tool RDz Host  RDz works with the existing PD tools on the host; not different versions  RDz accesses the PD tools function as you would see it on the green screen and exposes/enhances it through the windows client  RDz facilitates easy access to all three tools at the same time for an integrated desktop development experience Displaying Fault Analyzer report Editing data with File Manager Debugging application with Debug Tool Developing System z Application with RDz

8. IBM Software Group | Rational software Bridging Development and Analysis in the IDE  Bring application analysis information into the IDE to aid in program development and understanding  Link code to data and runtime resources  Visualize code structure and flow  Understand the effect of changes made in the IDE when deployed into production  Run impact analysis on code changes to determine effected production modules  Size testing efforts and create workspaces for changes

9. IBM Software Group | Rational software RDz Adoption Patterns for success 1.Start small and get the tool installed and configured  Pick a project (Enabling for Web Services, Need for more productivity, etc)  Integrate your common tools. source code management systems, and the IBM Problem Determination tools (Debug Tool, File Manager, Fault Analyzer)  Configure the tool according to your shop standards (templates, code libraries, build process, etc) 2.Try out RDz using your software development process  Find out what works and what does not work, develop recommendations  Work with the IBM teams, we want you to be successful

10. IBM Software Group | Rational software RDz Adoption Patterns for success (cont) 3.Get trained!!  Don’t expect 40 year mainframe veterans to adjust from green screen to GUI overnight  Learn all the capabilities in RDz you can take advantage of, there are many things to either supplement or replace manual steps you have today  Teach people the common usage patterns of the tools to best save MIPS and money 4.Setup mentor groups, power users, or a support organization  Have a go-to person/group for guidance so as to not discourage new users  Power users can help train others and drive adoption ensuring success
