IBM Rational Business Developer helps build applications in EGL, IBM's newest business language. Be more productive, more quickly developing today's cross platform Web and SOA applications. Find out how at the EGL Café.
This tutorial describes how to write Enterprise Generation Language (EGL) code that calls programs (RPG, COBOL, CL, CL Commands, or programs written in any supported language) on your IBM System i5 machine. The process for you to call an existing IBM i program from EGL has been very much improved in IBM Rational Developer for System i V7.1 (and later), and is incredibly simple.
The tutorial provides hands-on experience using the IBM Rational Developer for System i SOA workbench with IBM Rational Business Developer. It shows how easy it is to use Web services in EGL, regardless of whether they are created in EGL as a Service or used in EGL applications.
