The Jazz tutorial, Part 6
Learn how to create an iteration plan, how to edit the plan overview and how
to balance the workload across team members. Teams following agile methods typically
divide their release schedule into a series of fixed-length development iterations,
with fixed end dates. Planning for these involves scheduling the work to be done
during an iteration and assigning elements of that work to members of the team. To
be effective, plans need to be accessible to everyone on the team and to change
dynamically over the course of the iteration to reflect the team's position and
direction. This demo shows you how. In this demo series, the Jazz client refers to the IBM Rational Team Concert product and the Jazz server refers to the IBM Rational Jazz Team Server. |

Transformation to SOA: Part 4. How Web service processes transform from UML to BPEL in IBM Rational Software Architect
The article explains how to model BPEL process implementation details in
UML. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) provides convenient, well-understood,
well-documented, and commonly practiced support for use case, collaboration, data,
interface, class, component, interaction, state, and activity modeling. You can
exploit this to capture application models that can be transformed to various
platform architectures. The transformation from UML to Process Execution Language
(UML-to-BPEL) that this article describes translates UML artifacts into BPEL
artifacts. |

Develop a batch DB2 for z/OS COBOL application using Rational Developer for System z
IBM Rational Developer for System z V7.1 provides an Eclipse-based
integrated development environment (IDE) that you can use to access applications and
resources directly on z/OS. Using the Eclipse concept of perspectives –- an
arrangement of views and editors dedicated for a specific set of activities –- you
are able to use one IDE to work with a database, write a COBOL application, build
the application, and debug the application. In this article, follow the steps
necessary to create a batch COBOL application that accesses a DB2 for z/OS database
using Rational Developer for System z. |
