Rational Development and Test Environment for System z Business constraints with mainframe development today Which limits the amount of System z production workload coming online “Operations tell me it will take two months to get my test system allocated. ” “I can only test my batch applications in offline hours. Online apps consume the 9 -5 cycles. ” “It is difficult for my developers to learn the mainframe. Operations controls can prevent experimentation by developers. . ” “I want to try out creating Event Processing and ATOM apps, but my system isn’t scheduled for a CICS update till 2013. ” 2 “My development capacity chargeback is consuming my entire budget. I can’t spend on tools. ” “We don’t have the capital budget to obtain more mainframe test resources for my developers. It’s easier and cheaper to get a Windows or Unix box. ” “I can’t even work on Mondays! Production workload kicks me off. ” “The Mainframe isn’t cool anymore. It’s faster and cheaper to develop on a Unix platform. ” © 2014 IBM Corporation
Rational Development and Test Environment for System z RD&T Description The Dev and Test Environment consists of: Rational Dev and Test RTCz Agent RDz Agent Dev and Test Environment (based on z. PDT) Dev and Test Environment can provide a System z development platform on a PC capable of running z/OS provides great flexibility to run a customized environment System z S/W Stack Debug Tool CICS DB 2 Assembler Web. Sphere/z COBOL z/OS C/C++ IMS PL/I Dev and Test Environment x 86 PC or HX 5 Blade running Linux Software stack provides a choice of IBM middleware test environments actual middleware software (including z/OS) actual enterprise compilers no API simulation
Rational Development and Test Environment for System z Typical uses Prototyping and V 2 V migration- drive newer technologies and levels of software to production more quickly Employee Education in an indestructible, approachable environment Distributing development and test activities for higher availability, quality, and productivity. Benefits: – Increased availability of mainframe dev/test environment – Reduces issues with shared data – No waiting for sys admins to make changes on the mainframe Enabling new software delivery methodologies such as Continuous Integration Enabling development and test for geographically dispersed and outsourced teams 4 © 2014 IBM Corporation
Rational Development and Test Environment for System z Create additional mainframe development and test capacity without increasing MIPS Free up mainframe development MIPS for production workload Eliminate costly delays by reducing burden on existing IT operations staff Exploit the latest z/OS software, including z/OS 2. 1, CICS 5. 2, IMS 13, and COBOL 5. 1 RDz Affordable off host development and test environment Develop and test z/OS applications anywhere, anytime Includes Rational Integration Tester 8. 6 z/OS components to minimize A leading global financialsubsystem services dependencies during unit testing firm with assets of over $2 trillion RDz & ISPF Reduced manual testing from A leading provider of vehicle rentals 10 days to 10 minutes, increased developer productivity by saving over $7 million to date 25% and decreased time to market Note: This Program is licensed only for development and test of applications that run on IBM z/OS. The Program may not be used to run production workloads of any kind, nor more robust development workloads including without limitation production module builds, pre-production testing, stress testing, or performance 2014 IBM Corporation © testing.
