Audience
This course is designed for traditional mainframe developers who wish to use WebSphere Developer for zSeries to develop COBOL or PL/I applications, and would like to integrate existing legacy applications into a service-oriented architecture.
Objectives
After completing this course, students should be able to:
- Describe the features provided in IBM WebSphere Developer for zSeries for enterprise development.
- Use the Remote System Explorer (RSE) to remotely view and build code.
- Develop software with the COBOL and PL/I development environments provided by WebSphere Developer for zSeries.
- Describe how traditional mainframe applications can be used in a service-oriented architecture (SOA).
- Explain how to transform existing legacy applications into Web services using the XML Services for the Enterprise (XSE) feature.
Prerequisites
Students must have some knowledge of z/OS environments, terminology, and data set naming conventions. Students should also have:
- Prior experience working with z/OS, OS/390, or MVS systems
- An understanding of 4GLs like COBOL or PL/I
- An understanding of job control language (JCL)
System requirements
- This course requires Microsoft® Internet Explorer version 5 or greater.
Duration
This self-paced Web-delivered course is divided into nine modules, each of which contains a lecture in the form of an independent reading. Most modules also contain a quiz for self assessment and a demonstration.
How long it takes to complete the course depends upon your reading speed, and how many modules you select. Each module typically takes 30 to 60 minutes to read, with an additional 10 minutes for a demonstration and quiz (if the module contains them). Therefore, you can allow an average of 45 minutes to just over an hour for each module.
One benefit of a self-paced course is that you can take it a portion at a time. Allocating some time each day for a week may be more a effective approach to completing this course than setting aside an entire day.
