8 CA Gen r7 and r7.5 Quick Review

9 CA Gen r7 Highlights > Overview.Net Framework/C# Generation support Java/Web Generation Improvement Proxy Interface Enhancements Enhanced Web Services Plugins GUI Runtime Enhancements

10 CA Gen r7 Highlights > Overview Continued z/os C Runtime Upgrade Threadsafe capable Brand new multiplatform Build Tool Numerous Toolset Improvements Encyclopedia Enhancements Many more including ~150 Enhancement Requests

11 CA Gen r7.net Support > Build end to end.net web applications > Integrate with existing Windows, UNIX, Linux and Mainframe CA Gen apps Browser ASP.NET Web Client Back Office Server Internet Explorer IIS Component Services HTML ASPX Pages 100% Dynamically Created Generated XML Generated C# Generated C# COM+ Object Java Script ASP.NET ADO.NET ADO.NET SQL Server Oracle DB2

12 CA Gen r7 z/os Runtime Architecture Changes > z/os Runtimes keep pace with IBM > z/os C Runtime Upgrades in CA Gen r7 Runtimes converted from SAS/C to IBM C Exploits IBM Language Environment (LE) Runtimes are now Threadsafe capable

13 CA Gen r7 Productivity Improvements > Enhanced Build Tool Provides parallel builds common UI and functionality on UNIX and Windows build applications remotely across the network > Encyclopedia Multi-object delete capability > Java Proxy API more efficient and easier to use > Improved tutorial, documentation and online help reduces learning curve

14 CA Gen r7.5 Highlights > Overview Support for Linux Server ASP.NET Enhancements Dynamic CSS z/os Runtime Precision Math Libraries Many more including ~50 Enhancement Requests

15 Gen r7.5 Support for Linux Servers > Linux generation support on Intel x86 (or compatible) 32- bit hardware for Implementation Toolset Transaction Enabler User Funnel > C applications support for Online Block mode Distributed process server > Generated applications use embedded SQL to access Oracle or IBM DB2 UDB databases

16 CA Gen r7.5 Dynamic CSS >Java Web Generation now supports generation of display properties as cascading style sheets >Enables modification of a common business system cascade style sheet and influences the appearance of all windows and controls in a business system >An overriding CSS file may be used to supersede the style statements in a generated common business system cascade style sheet

17 CA Gen r7.5 z/os Runtime Performance Improvements > Runtimes updated to full IBM Language Environment (LE) conformance Improves storage management performance Runtimes are fully re-entrant and threadsafe Most runtimes reside in a small number of DLLs and called dynamically

18 Precision Math Libraries > Underlying decimal precision math libraries changed for C applications > Applications should use less CPU resources Those with long complex expressions or many database accesses should show the most improvement

19 Current Release CA Gen r7.6

20 CA Gen 7.6 Datacom Support > Provide data modelling support, generating DDL and applications Online block mode applications running under CICS CICS distributed process servers > Schema Import Plug-in for CA Datacom/DB schema

21 CA Gen r7.6 Features > Compatibility Module Support for z/os Reference the CA Gen r7.6 z/os Statement of Direction paper on SupportConnect. > Feature Enhancements Web Generation Performance ASP.NET 2.0 Build Tool Usability > Cross Context Flows

22 CA Gen r7.6 Features > Diagram Trace Server Java, C# and C generated applications to include the following features (and more) Execution Control Conditional Breakpoints Watch Window Action Diagram Viewer Step Features including customer events Customizable syntax coloring

23 Cross-Context Flows > When Web Generation procedure steps are deployed in separate web applications. > Facilitates models developed using CBD modeling techniques. > Large deployments may be broken into smaller deployments. > A single model can be separated into multiple web applications and deployed in separate contexts.

24 z/os Compatibility Feature > r7.6 Compatibility Priority Enhancement allows build of non-dll modules In beta spring 2007 For details, see the CA Gen z/os Statement of Direction paper on SupportConnect.

25 Plans and Ideas for the CA Gen r8 Series

26 SOA & Web Services Plans > CICS Web Services Allow exposing CICS server steps as Service Provider applications > J2EE and.net Web Services Generate J2EE and.net targeted procedure steps as WS-I conformant Web Service Providers. Are additions to current Web Services capabilities provided by generated Proxies

27 SOA and Web Services Plans J2EE Web Services Generate J2EE and.net targeted procedure steps as WS-I conformant Web Service Providers SOA Web Services.NET Web Services CICS Web Services Provide ability to expose CICS server steps as Service Provider applications

28 BLOBs Support for Web Applications > Allow CA Gen applications to use CLOBs/BLOBs natively Would support binary objects such as images (BMP, JPG, GIF, etc) large text encoded strings (CLOBS/XML)

29 Web View w/ajax > Create/customize the Web Interface using tools such as Dreamweaver. > Utilize AJAX to retrieve data asynchronously and seamlessly. > Application logic will be either CA Gen-generated or third-party Web Services for state of the art web application. > Exploits Eclipse-based Web application creation tools

30 Toolset Evolution to Eclipse Framework > Implemented a rewritten action language debugger (DTS) in r7.6 > Web View planned for r8 is Eclipse based > Provide a modern look/feel > A rewritten ERD planned for an early r8 series release > Context sensitive, text-oriented Action Diagram Editor planned for a later r8 series release.

31 Mainframe Efficiency Improvements > Identity Columns Provide support for the identity column feature of DBMSs. > Multi-Row Fetch/Block Fetch Support for DB2 Multi-Row Fetch/Block Fetch features > z/os Dynamic Link of RI Triggers > CICS Socket Listener > Recent releases have focused on efficiency improvements especially in-to/outof generated code

32 Examples of 3rd Party Tech Currency Integration > ASP.NET & Java SE Targets utilizing new features introduced with.net Framework 2.0 and Java SE 6 > Web Tabs Generated Web Clients support for tabbed browsing environments on supported browsers for shared or different Web contexts
