2 Description Analysis and Design Facility VisualAge Pacbase offers powerful information management capabilities to help capitalize and enrich corporate AD know-how. It provides the flexibility that analysis and design teams want, and helps achieve consistency and validity of specifications, reusability, and quality of information throughout the AD life cycle. Pacdesign is the VisualAge Pacbase analysis and design component for supporting a variety of methodologies including YSM, Merise, SSADM, and OMT. UML support is offered via the interface with XMI-based UML modeling tools, enabling modelers and designers to take advantage of UML unified approach. Continuity is ensured along the development process and teams benefit from consistency between UML and VisualAge Pacbase concepts. The VisualAge Pacbase repository is directly fed with the data coming from the design phase, providing developers with the basics of the implementation model. At construction time, developers reuse objects defined at the upper level ensuring consistency with the software architecture design. e-business Build Facility VisualAge Pacbase offers extensive support for building e-business applications. It provides: Model-driven development A Developer workbench to cover COBOL servers, Java proxies, Web services development, and middleware management Integration with WebSphere Studio Application Developer VisualAge Pacbase e-business offering includes WebSphere Studio Application Developer for Windows V5 Trial Edition Repository-based management and reuse of components VisualAge Pacbase meets enterprise needs for openness, flexibility, and interoperability. Combining VisualAge Pacbase with WebSphere Studio Application Developer, development teams produce e-business applications that comply with Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) specifications. In addition, VisualAge Pacbase remains open to third-party technologies and provides a COM/OCX facility to address client development with a COM-compliant tool. Model-Driven Development VisualAge Pacbase offers a structured approach to development based on the use of an information model. This information model is dedicated to e-business needs and integrated in the development cycle. It offers a high level of expression that closely models business processes, gives clear dispatching and structuring of the data necessary for development, and formalizes the description of application components. The VisualAge Pacbase information model helps to simplify development and increase productivity and quality. Teams can focus on functional characteristics rather than technical issues. They leverage a standard architecture to guide in the description of the future systems. They then benefit from proven generation capabilities to automatically produce documented source code including COBOL server components and Web services. Generation and Deployment for Multiple Platforms VisualAge Pacbase improves the flexibility of deployment due to independence from any specific environment. COBOL backend servers and the code necessary to use standard middleware can be generated for the following platforms: IBM z/os or OS/390/CICS server Databases supported: Adabas, DB2, DL/1, and Oracle IBM IMS or OS/390/IMS server Databases supported: DB2 and DL/1 IBM VSE/CICS server Databases supported: DB2, DL/1, SQL/DS, and Oracle IBM AIX server Databases supported: DB2, Oracle, and Sybase IBM NUMA-Q DYNIX server IBM OS/400 server Database supported: DB2 Bull GCOS7/TDS server Databases supported: IDS2, Interel/RFM, and Oracle Bull GCOS8/TP8 or DMIV-TP server Databases supported: IDS2, Interel/RFM, and Oracle Bull Escala AIX server Compaq TRU64 UNIX server Compaq Non-Stop Himalaya server Database supported: Non-Stop SQL and Oracle Compaq Non-Stop Integrity server Databases supported: Non-Stop SQL, Oracle, and Sybase HP-UX server Linux server Database supported: DB2, Oracle, and Sybase

3 Microsoft Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP Professional Edition server Protocols Databases supported: DB2, Oracle, SQL/Server, and Sybase Sun Solaris server IBM z/os or OS/390/CICS Protocols Middleware Client Platform UNIX Windows AIX Solaris OS/390 Linux CPI-C X ECI X EXCI X X MQSeries X X X X MQ-CICS Bridge X X X X IBM z/os or OS/390/IMS CPI-C X IMS Connect X X X X X MQSeries X X X MQ-IMS Bridge X X X X IBM VSE/CICS CPI-C IBM and Bull AIX X ECI X TCP-IP Socket X X X X MQSeries X X X X Tuxedo X X IBM NUMA-Q DYNIX (Sequent ) IBM OS/400 TCP-IP Socket X X X X Bull GCOS7-TDS TDS-TCP/IP X X Bull GCOS8-TP8 GTEA X X Compaq TRU64 UNIX Protocols Client Platform UNIX Windows AIX Solaris OS/390 Linux Compaq Non-Stop Himalaya and Integrity Tuxedo X X HP HP-UX Linux Microsoft Windows NT, 2000, XP CPI-C (TX-Series) X ECI (TX-Series) X MQSeries X X X X Tuxedo X X Sun Solaris MQSeries X X X X Tuxedo X X Service Test Facility VisualAge Pacbase offers a facility for testing the overall behavior of the server components produced, independent from the development of the middle-tier logic and the presentation layer. This tool is an excellent vehicle for productivity and reliability. It also ensures better role integration among multibackground teams, and can be used by any of the development staff, whatever their task and skills (COBOL server component, Java developers). Web Services Development VisualAge Pacbase enables you to develop Web services based on open, cross-platform standards: UDDI, SOAP, and WSDL. It provides a top-down approach to define, model, and generate all components needed for publication, test, and execution of Web services: Java, WSDL, XML schema, and documentation. Developers can leverage and reuse information stored in the repository to increase development productivity and consistency. Integration with WebSphere Studio Application Developer VisualAge Pacbase closely complements WebSphere Studio Application Developer, the J2EE environment designed to produce the middle-tier Java application logic and the presentation layer of e-business systems. Consistency is achieved through the generation of a proxy object as a JavaBean or Enterprise JavaBean component. This proxy object enables all developers to share a common set of services while providing a clear division of responsibilities between developer profiles

4 Generated from the VisualAge Pacbase repository, the proxy object provides developers in WebSphere Studio Application Developer with the view of the server they need. It facilitates client construction by enabling the direct access and use of data, services, and events available on the server. It improves reliability by enabling automatic reuse of information defined in the VisualAge Pacbase repository. It simplifies development by hiding complex mechanisms for exchange between remote components. Developers from WebSphere Studio Application Developer directly access the VisualAge Pacbase proxy object. They also benefit from the service test facility in being able to visualize the behavior of remote components and simplify their own tasks. VisualAge Pacbase proxy object may also be completed using Eclipse JDEE. Integration of Application Assets VisualAge Pacbase enables organizations to reuse existing assets into new e-business applications and offers various integration options. This flexible and pragmatic approach helps protect investments with minimal outlay, while favoring the cultural growth of the company. Existing business services, developed using traditional technology, can integrate into new e-business systems and take benefit from the VisualAge Pacbase e-business model. Traditional transactional applications, developed with VisualAge Pacbase, also integrate into new e-business systems. VisualAge Pacbase offers specific generation functions to facilitate the integration process. Web Application Models This module is included in the e-business offering and may be ordered separately. Web Application Models Reusing information coming from VisualAge Pacbase repository or relational databases, Web Application Models generates presentation and navigation components based on application models. Traditional Build Facility: VisualAge Pacbase provides genuine support for development and automates the production of complete applications. It provides: Model-driven development A Developer workbench to cover the production process for batch transaction processing and reporting as well as online applications Repository-based management and reuse of components The information model guides development and ensures automatic reuse of components. Application structure is independent of technological constraints, which facilitates the adaptability of applications. VisualAge Pacbase automatically generates 100% of the source code, database descriptions, and documentation (online and hard copy). Applications can run on a wide range of platforms, operating systems, ThinkPad monitors, and databases including: IBM z/os or OS/390/CICS Databases supported: Adabas, DB2, DL1, IDMS, and Oracle IBM z/os or OS/390/IMS Databases supported: DB2, and DL1 IBM VSE/CICS Databases supported: DB2, DL1, and Oracle IBM AIX/CICS6000 Databases supported: DB2, Oracle, and Sybase IBM NUMA-Q DYNIX IBM CICS OS/2 Databases supported: DB2 and Oracle IBM OS/400 Database supported: DB2/400 Bull GCOS7/TDS Databases supported: IDS2, Interel/RFM, and Oracle Bull GCOS8/TP8 or DMIV-TP Databases supported: IDS2, Interel/RFM, and Oracle Bull GCOS6/TM6-TP (no databases supported) Bull GCOS6 DTF/DFC vision (no databases supported) Bull AIX Databases supported: DB2, Oracle, and Sybase Compaq VMS Database supported: Oracle Compaq Alpha Open VMS Database supported: Oracle Compaq TRU64 UNIX Compaq Non-Stop Himalaya Databases supported: Non-Stop SQL, Oracle, and Sybase Compaq Non-Stop Integrity Databases supported: Non-Stop SQL, Oracle, and Sybase HP HP-MPE Database supported: Allbase SQL HP HP-UX Databases supported: DB2, Oracle, and Sybase ICL VME/TPMS Linux (no databases supported)
