P01 Using RD/z for COBOL/PLI Application Development
Rational Developer for System z (RDz) makes traditional mainframe development and integrated mixed workload or composite development faster and more efficient. This session is designed to give you a high-level and hands-on view of the z/OS® Application Development component of RDz 7.5. This session has 3 major components: A lecture, a demo, and a hands-on lab. The lecture provides the high-level overview of RDz. The demo takes you through the steps of using the Remote System Explorer component of RDz to work with remote mainframe systems. We will define a remote z/OS system, set up a z/OS project, edit, compile, and debug a COBOL IMS application. Finally, for the hands-on experience you will work with a sample COBOL program that accesses a database and uses the editing, compiling, and running capabilities of RDz.
Easily Web Enabling your applications and 3270 green screens (with Demo)
Enterprise Modernization is one of the biggest mandates that businesses face today. When it comes to IMS, we provide a full range of modernization and SOA enablement solutions. In this session, we demonstrate how simple it is to web enable one of the most common types of the legacy IMS assets: MFS green screen applications.

P02 IMS OTMA Connectivity and its clients
Almost every IMS installation is using OTMA - Open Transaction Manager Access to send and receive transaction data from external sources such as MQSeries or TCP/IP applications - including SOA. But there are MANY considerations and fine points to implementing OTMA and its clients in an IMS environment. This tutorial consists of several sessions.
The first session covers the IMS OTMA Implementation. It will cover OTMA basics - not matter what the OTMA client is. It will cover such things as Commit Mode, Sync Level, use of storage (which is critical), Shared Queue considerations, exits (always a favourite topic), asynchronous output, and security.
One session is IMS Connect Implementation and IMS Connect Client Considerations. This will cover all the details of implementing IMS Connect including configuration parameters, TCP/IP considerations, message formats, User exits, commands, traces, and availability. The manuals tell you to code a client - but this session tells you how to code the client in the real world. It covers all the permutations of Commit Mode, Sync Level, and socket type (Transaction and Persistent). It also covers retrieving asynchronous output, IMS conversational transactions and much more.
One session is about IMS MQSeries Implementation. These cover accessing IMS both via the MQAPI using the External Subsystem Interface and using OTMA and the MQ IMS Bridge. Correctly sending asynchronous output to the IMS Bridge is covered in great detail. There are sections on Shared Queues (IMS and MQ) and security.
This tutorial is at a very detailed level and much of the information can only be found in the handouts for these sessions.

P03 What application developers need to know about DBRC
Abstract: DBRC was something which was around and administrated in the production environment. Application developers and application testers had heard about it, but it was far away. Now, when the definitions for HALDB's moved into the RECON the DBRC environment moves also in the application and testing area.
This tutorial give an brief introduction into DBRC and how data bases including HALDB are handled. The important commands are discussed and handling of the DBRC for database backup, recocvery and reorganisations are explained.
If you want to know what are the basic functions of DBRC, this tutorial is the right place to get this information
