Eclipse is the core IDE for maintaining and developing applications that have been migrated from the mainframe and that still use CICS and JCL. You use Eclipse to develop, compile as native or managed COBOL code, and debug your applications. The Eclipse editor has been extended in a number of ways to enhance its support for COBOL, including standard Eclipse features for program navigation are exploited for COBOL applications.
Features Include:
The Eclipse debugger fully supports COBOL in data queries, watch windows etc. and control over the program execution flow both for native code and COBOL JVM.
Features include:
Enterprise Developer Team Edition and Enterprise Test Server provide Mainframe Access (MFA) client capabilities.
When migrating applications, this ensures source and data can be transferred from the mainframe and projects can be setup more efficiently within the Enterprise Developer Team Edition environment to make it easier to demonstrate rapid progress to key stake holders. Once projects are set up, the synchronization with mainframe artifacts can be automated to deliver significant gains in efficiency.
When rehosting testing workload to Windows, this provides:
The SQL technology that was present in previous products is seamlessly integrated within the Eclipse development environment. When you develop COBOL SQL applications in the new IDE, you can use the same development environment to extend and modernize your COBOL assets.
