Rational Programming Patterns

What's new in Rational Programming Patterns V9.0

This new version includes features that improve the overall quality of the product.

Improved migration process

The cost of the migration process continues to decrease. The post migration reporting is improved and the number of the generation differences between Pacbase and Rational® Programming Patterns is significantly lower. There is then less need for regression tests after the transition.

New migrated entities

Secondary Pacbase entities that were identified as critical for the migration are now supported by the migration process. Such is the case of Input Aids and Merise objects.

With a new model inheritance mechanism, a subordinate instance can automatically recognize the modifications of its master at the design level.

Integration with Endevor

Endevor is a configuration management and application deployment tool.

The objects that are generated by Rational Programming Patterns can be integrated into the Endevor environment through the Rational Team Concert™ features.

In Rational Programming Patterns, information indicates where the generated objects are to be managed in Endevor (environment or system for example). In Endevor, the context of the source objects in Rational Programming Patterns can also be traced (Rational Team Concert stream identification or generation date for example).

Enhanced quality control

Rules have been created to control the quality of the design and of the specific code. New rules of Rational Developer for System z® V9.0 on COBOL source code have been adapted.

Improved ergonomics

You can simulate a Screen to check the position and characteristics of its fields and labels as they will be displayed when the transaction is run.

A new design and source code comparator is available.

A wizard can be used to create and update functions and subfunctions in the COBOL code of the instances that are generated in Rational Programming Patterns.
