Enterprise Modernization: The Transformation of Application Development for All Platforms

This session covers the IBM Rational Software Delivery Platform and how it extends modern application lifecycle management to IBM  i and other platforms. Learn how Rational can help you to modernize all aspects of your enterprise, including asset management, architecture, skills and application development infrastructure.

Introduction to Host Access Transformation (HATS) for System i

Come learn about the new features available in IBM Rational HATS for System i. HATS enables you to create Web and rich client applications that provide an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) for your character-based 5250 applications. You can also use HATS to create Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) assets from logic contained in your character based 5250 applications. HATS 7.1 includes the WebFacing technology and allows both pre-runtime and on-the-fly transformation of 5250 screens.

Introduction to EGL for RPG Programmers

Enterprise Generation Language (a part of Rational Business Developer) is IBM Rational's strategic construction language. This high-level programming language enables RPG developers who have little or no experience with Java, Web technologies or Service Oriented Architecture to create enterprise-class applications and services quickly and easily. In this session we'll teach you the basic features of  EGL and how they compare to the RPG language features. We'll show you, how RBD and EGL can be used to write web business applications for IBM i.

How to Create Web Applications with EGL

This session shows how IBM i developers can easily create professional business web applications that feature a great looking web interface. In this session, learn about EGL and its capabilities to create web applications that use business data on IBM i. We will show how EGL allows working with existing IBM i DB2 data definitions so they can be re-used when creating web applications. We will also show how to access the data on IBM i when running these web applications.

As part of a demo, we will also explore the rich EGL tooling available in IBM products to create web user interfaces quickly. For IBM i developers, EGL is an easy to learn language that provides optimal integration with existing IBM i applications.

How to Create Rich Client Applications with EGL

This session shows how IBM i developers with RPG or COBOL background,  can easily create professional business web applications that feature a great looking Rich User Interface. In this session learn about EGL and its capabilities to create Ajax based user interfaces. We will show how the RDi SOA tools and  EGL allow to create good looking fast responding web applications.  We will also show how in the future EGL will support true Web 2.0 user interfaces. EGL is an easy to learn language that provides optimal integration with existing IBM i applications. EGL also provides full integration with many new technologies that are standard in todays IT infrastructure.

What’s New for RPG in V6R1?

This session will cover the following and more:

  • Declare files in subprocedures
  • Pass files as parameters
  • Never need a compile-time override again
  • Define huge variables - no more 64K limit
  • Define huge arrays - no more 32767 limit
  • Run in multiple threads

Also, a reminder of some of the other enhancements from recent releases, with special attention to using data structures for I/O to externally described files.
