Analysts on DevOps
“…DevOps is now noisily
elbowing its way into the
mainstream …The revolution
is just beginning, but it’s real
and the time to act is now …
The force behind this revolution
is DevOps: development and
operations working together
with business sponsors and
quality assurance (QA) to
deliver a continuous stream
of innovation into production.”
88
“DevOps requires people,
process and tools to
promote seamless
collaboration among diverse
but simultaneous users …
DevOps is a culture shift,
designed to improve
quality of solutions that are
business-oriented and
rapidly evolving …”

Why Set RPG Free?
 IBM i = rock-solid technology with highest value, lowest TCO
 RPG = best language to write business applications
 Already have skills in-house to efficiently maintain and develop RPG
13

Enabling Product and Service Innovation | Rational
Challenges
 Other platforms, languages are competing for your company’s
IT dollars
– RPG development seen as old, inhibiting growth
 Need new staff – due to growth, or retiring
– New hires balk at using fixed column languages and green screen tools
 Company may switch technology if you don’t show
– Better productivity
– Smooth onboarding of new hires
– You know in your gut this will be a mistake
14

Enabling Product and Service Innovation | Rational
Benefits
 Far more productive using modern tools and free-form RPG
– Studies show 20%+ productivity gains, proven ROI.
 Smooth on-ramp for any new hire to learn RPG
 Avoid excuses to switch to an inferior technology
 You remain in control of the future of development in your shop

Another big step forward for RPG – a totally free-form program
ctl-opt bnddir('ACCRCV');
dcl-f custfile usage(*update);
dcl-ds custDs likerec(custRec);
dcl-f report printer;
RPG programmers will find
this new syntax easy to
learn
Non-RPG programmers will
find this new syntax much
easier to learn than
fixed form
read custfile custDs;
dow not %eof;
if dueDate > %date(); // overdue?
sendOverdueNotice();
write reportFmt;
exec sql insert :name, :duedate into
mylib/myfile;
endif;
read custfile custDs;
enddo;
*inlr = '1';
7.1 TR7 and RDI 9.0.1
dcl-proc sendOverdueNotice;
sendInvoice (custDs : %date());
end-proc;

Free-form RPG Support for IBM i
 DeveloperWorks Article: Overview of recent RPG compiler free-form changes
 This article explains the free-form RPG function supported on IBM i, its advantages, and how
to program for H, F, D and P specs within free-form.
 The support is intended to allow RPG to be easier to write and understand for programmers
who are familiar with other high-level languages.
 Other Documentation
 There is a new PDF in the 7.1 Info Center with full documentation for the new free-form
syntax
– http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v7r1m0/topic/books/sc092508a.pdf

License Information
 Charges for the Program are based on the processor group (also known as software machine
group or software tier) of the machine on which the Program is used and on the number of
Users of the Program. The PoE contains the processor group and the User quantity. Licensee
is required to maintain a minimum number of User entitlements based on the processor group
of the machine using the Program. A User is a unique person that is given access to the
Program. The Program may be installed on one and only one physical machine, which is the
"Bound Host". The Program may be installed on any number of logical partitions on the Bound
Host. Each User may have serial or simultaneous access to any number of instances of the
Program that are running in any number of logical partitions on the Bound Host. A User may
invoke the Program from any number of devices (such as terminals, PCs with terminal
emulators, or PCs with IDEs) that are connected to the Bound Host.
 The Licensee must obtain separate, dedicated entitlements for each User who accesses the
Program in any manner directly or indirectly (for example: via a multiplexing program, device,
or application server) through any means. An entitlement for a User is unique to that User and
may not be shared or reassigned other than for the permanent transfer of the authorized
entitlement to another person.

Application Management Toolset (AMTS) (for IBM i)
• A small subset of ADTS focused on system admin and ‘super user’ activities
•
Managing libraries and objects
•
Scripting with CL
• Does NOT support actual software development tasks
• Licensed per-Processor (i.e. machine/serial number – exactly like WDS was formerly
licensed)
• Very low price points (hi-med-lo based on 3 software tier groupings)
• Configured as pre-select in eConfig
• Cannot be ordered through Passport Advantage
• Means customers need no longer retain ADTS entitlements to support their administrative
kinds of users – can instead use them to trade up to RD Power
