Rational Programming Patterns for System z

Development tools for Pacbase applications

IBM Rational Programming Patterns for System z enhances the set of development and delivery tools of IBM Rational Developer for System z and IBM Rational Team Concert. This solution provides functionality adapted to the Pacbase Pattern Driven development paradigm for applications developed with VisualAge Pacbase V3.5. Rational Programming Patterns for System z features data description patterns, programming patterns for traditional applications, macro-structure patterns, and COBOL micro-patterns.

  • Modernizes the Pacbase Model Driven Development (MDD) approach, providing new models for data, Batch, and transactional applications and generators targeting System z and IBM Jazz-based repository services for Pacbase artifacts.
  • Includes a comprehensive and collaborative IDE to enable Pacbase developers to maintain a high level of individual productivity, while unifying development processes and tools with System z and Java™ developers.
  • Extends the Rational Developer for System z COBOL source code editor (LPEX) to optimize the tasks in a generated COBOL source code.
  • Extends the Rational Team Concert Repository services to provide impact analysis and multi-criteria search for development artifacts migrated from Pacbase.
  • Provides procedures to extract projects or components from Rational Team Concert to import them into an external software configuration management system.
