1. Modernizing your System z Application Development with the IBM Rational
An IBM Proof of Technology
You’re Invited
Date: November 19th
Time: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Location: London Southbank
Introduction
This Proof of Technology (PoT) session provides attendees with basic skills and hands-on exposure to the major features of the IBM®
Rational® Integrated Solution for System z® Development, providing an integrated development solution, consisting of the Rational
Developer for System z (version 9.1.1), Collaborative Lifecycle Management (version 4.0.x) and Rational Asset Analyzer (version 6.0.x)
tools.
These integrated tools provide a modern development platform that enables high individual and team productivity and extends the benefits
of Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) to the mainframe developer and allow developers to perform reliable analysis when making a
change. The workshop will allow users to use the tools and their features in a fictitious scenario, designed to portray a ‘day in the life’ of a
development team. More at this article: Tools for modernizing enterprise applications and the way you develop them
IBM Rational Developer for System z enables companies to accelerate time to market with higher quality solutions while reducing the
costs of maintenance over an application's lifetime. It consists of a common workbench and an integrated set of tools that support end-to-
end, model-based development, run-time testing, and rapid deployment of simple and complex applications.
The labs may also use z/OS® running in a laptop using Rational Developer & Test for System z.
Objective
This PoT, using the Rational Integrated Solution for System z Development will:
Show application teams how they can quickly discover, understand and modernize their application portfolio in a managed
fashion using a modern IDE and a standardized process.
Show production teams how they can easily reuse, extend and automate their existing build and deployment solutions for
enterprise applications
Enable IT executives to view, in real-time, project health metrics across the enterprise.
Audience
This PoT is targeted for Architects, Technical Specialist or Developers. However, it is not limited to technical folks. Some
MVS™ or z/OS experience or understanding is required. Non-technical attendees with an understanding of application
lifecycle management are welcome..
Schedule
The session will start at 9:00 AM and end at approximately 5:00 PM on first day and end at noon on second day.
