This tutorial is part of the "Did you say mainframe? e-kit".

Explore a new feature in Version 7 of WebSphere® Developer for System z™: z/OS Database Application Generator. z/OS Database Application Generator automatically generates CICS® COBOL programs that can access DB2®. It also generates a Web service, as well as the Job Control Language (JCL) to assist in the deployment of the generated code. In this tutorial, you will get a quick introduction to this feature and walk through an example scenario in which you transform UML to COBOL. Note: Starting with Version 7.1, WebSphere Developer for System z has been renamed to Rational Developer for System z.

Objectives

  • Learn how to generate COBOL from UML, create a z/OS DB2 table, deploy the CICS services, and test them using the test facilities provided by the WebSphere Developer for System z tools.

  • Learn how wizards can help you generate COBOL and JCL assets without writing any code.

Prerequisites

This tutorial is written for developers who are not familiar with CICS Web services or Java code, but some basic programming concepts are required. You should be familiar with z/OS, COBOL, JCL, and DB2 concepts.


System requirements

To code the example described here, WebSphere Developer for System z Version 7 is required. If you want to modify the UML model provided, you also need to have Rational® Software Architect available on your workstation. If you plan to deploy the generated code to z/OS, you need CICS Version 3.1 or higher and z/OS DB2 Version 7 or higher.
