A brief history of IBM i compilers and tools – 1 of 2

The lineage of the “IBM i” operating system, which is currently shipping at v7.1 (with v6.1 also still available for purchase) is

S/36 S/38 AS/400 System i IBM i

WebSphere Development Studio (WDS) is the RPG, COBOL and other compilers for IBM i. Prior to v6.1 of the OS it was sold as a single feature that bundled

PDM and SEU (green screen tools)

Heritage compilers

ILE compilers

WDSc (a desktop-resident IDE)

It was licensed for unlimited use (i.e. as PROC)

Pricing was according to Processor Group (aka Software Tier)


2

A brief history of IBM i compilers and tools – 2 of 2

At IBM i v6.1:

WDS was changed from PROC licensing to per-user pricing

WDS was also broken into 3 independently purchasable pieces (Feature Codes)

PDM and SEU (now known as “ADTS” – Application Development Tool Set)

Heritage compilers

ILE compilers

WDS customers became entitled to fixed numbers of user licenses per upgraded machine based upon each machine’s software tier

WDSc was terminated (there is no replacement entitlement to desktop tools). “Web Facing” (a feature supported by WDSc) was fully subsumed into HATS. The Web Facing tooling is now in the free HATS Toolkit, but HATS runtime licenses are now required to run Web Facing-enabled applications)

The replacement choices for WDSc and Web Facing are to purchase one of the following, depending upon what features are needed:

Rational Developer for Power Systems Software RPG and COBOL Development Tools for i

Rational Developer for Power Systems Software Power Tools for i (this includes Rational Application Developer Standard Edition (tools for Java/JEE/Web/mobile development – RAD SE satisfies the installer prerequisites of HATS Toolkit))

Rational Developer for i for SOA Construction (this includes HATS Toolkit and Rational Business Developer which is tools for EGL development, but also satisfies the installer prerequisites of the HATS Toolkit)

There is no free entitlement to Rdi/RDP, RDi SOA, or RAD based

upon entitlement to RDS/WDS.

There is a trade-up from ADTS to RDP RPG and COBOL

Development Tools for IBM i that yields a 25% discount. (Available

through PPA only).

Maintenance: WDS/RDS continue to be included in the OS Group

At 6.1 (1Q08): WDS became no longer unlimited and was split into 3 separate features. V5r4 customers are now granted an explicit number of Named User entitlements to each of ILE compilers, Heritage compilers, and ADTS as they upgrade to 6.1. The number of entitlements granted is determined by machine’s SW tier. WDSc was removed from market without substitute entitlement and started tracking toward April 30, 2010 End of Service

Rational compilers and tools for IBM i -- current portfolio

Rational Development Studio for IBM i – Heritage and ILE compilers and green screen tools (ADTS (PDM and SEU)). Formerly WebSphere Development Studio. Available through eConfig/AAS only.

IBM Rational Developer for Power Systems Software – Family of modern IDEs for IBM Power Systems development. Formerly Rational Developer for i. Available through both eConfig/AAS and Passport Advantage. Includes tools for C/C++ and COBOL development for AIX and Linux on Power Systems, in addition to these offerings which are for IBM i:

RPG and COBOL Development Tools for i – Modern IDE for creating and maintaining RPG, COBOL, CL, and DDS- based applications on IBM i

Power Tools for i – bundle of RPG and COBOL Development Tools for i plus Rational Application Developer Standard Edition

IBM Rational Developer for i for SOA Construction – bundle of RPG and COBOL Development Tools for i plus Rational Business Developer. Available through both eConfig/AAS and Passport Advantage

IBM Rational Business Developer – tools for Enterprise Generation Language (EGL), a high-level business language designed for portability and to simplify the development of Web 2.0 and SOA solutions by shielding developers from the complexities of underlying middleware and programming languages. EGL has built-in language support for calling batch RPG and COBOL programs and service programs on IBM i so organizations can reuse existing business logic in new solutions. Passport Advantage only

IBM Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software – Modern IDE for Java, Java Enterprise Edition, Web, Web 2.0, mobile devices, SOA, SCA, WebServices (Java EE) development tools. Java has the ability to call batch RPG and COBOL programs and service programs on IBM i so organizations can reuse existing business logic in new solutions. Available through Passport Advantage only

IBM Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software Standard Edition – a somewhat lesser-abled edition of IBM Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software. The Standard Edition does not include JCA enterprise adapters, advanced code analytics, support for team debugging and code coverage when integrated with Rational Team Concert, or the IBM Cloud connection utilities. Available through Passport Advantage only, except when sold as part of the Power Tools bundles.

IBM Rational Open Access: RPG Edition – opens up the RPG file I/O capabilities, allowing software tool vendors, business partners, services organizations, and users to write custom I/O handlers that can access new devices and resources that are not directly supported by RPG. This allows RPG developers to write applications that can directly access these devices and resources while still using the regular RPG I/O model. Available through eConfig/AAS only

IBM Rational Host Access Transformation Services (HATS) – performs runtime transformations of 5250 applications, allowing developers without heritage language skills and/or no access to the heritage source code, to extend those applications to the Web, Web services, portlets, rich clients, and mobile devices. HATS is delivered in two parts: a runtime which is priced, and a HATS toolkit which is available as free download. Available through Passport Advantage only.

New Purchases of WDS / RDS

WDS and RDS are sold with a minimum quantity requirement that is based upon hardware tier

– Hardware may be purchased and run without any compilers

– But WDS / RDS can only be purchased starting with a minimum quantity based upon the type of machine they will be deployed to

– Then additional WDS / RDS can be purchased for that machine, according to need

– Compiler entitlements can be transferred from one machine to another, but…

• This is formal transaction that must be executed through your vendor (IBM, distributor, or re-seller)

• The minimum WDS / RDS quantity requirement must be met when moving to a higher-tier machine

• Additional restrictions apply regarding partial transfers

Tables of minimums, showing pricing when compilers are not purchased as part of a new hardware

Express Edition or Solution Edition purchase transaction (prices for minimum quantities are lower when WDS / RDS are acquired as part of new Express or Solution edition hardware configurations):

AAS Upgrade Scenarios: RDi RD Power

When SWMA on RDi has remained in force:

– Time remaining in SWMA renewal covers both RDi and RD Power

– At renewal time, renew using 566x-RDP PID

– What about “after license” charge?

Purchase or renewal of RDi (5733-RDI)

starts 12 months SWMA

“Trade up” to

RD Power (5733-RDP fc 0004)

keeps existing RDi SWMA for

remaining time which also covers

RD Power

12 months RDi maintenance ends, customer

renews using RD Power maintenance

(5660-RDP fc 1514)

12 months

When SWMA has already expired:

– First order RDi SWMA reinstatement

– Then order RD Power no charge upgrade

Purchase or renewal of RDi (5733-RDi)

starts 12 months SW Maintenance

To “trade up” (claim entitlement to) RD Power:

1. First renew RDi SWMA “after license

charge” (5661-RDI fc 0340)

2. Then order no-charge “trade up” to RD

Power (5733-RDP fc 0003)

12 months

SWMA lapses
