IBM, Program Director
Find out what a modern, mainframe development for CA Endevor SCM
looks like and how it can improve the productivity of your
developers. With modern tools and advanced graphical capabilities,
RDz accelerates the development of mainframe applications, including
traditional COBOL, PL/I, C/C++, and Assembler applications, as well as
Web services and XML-based interfaces that link to the Web. RDz also
extends all of these advantages to the CA Endevor SCM ISPF-based
developer. This session will review the new features added to RDz
V.8.0.1, discuss what's on the horizon, and will introduce you to IBM’s
RDz UT "off production host" development environment.

support for packages

carma RAMs - RDz
• (New) CA Endevor Packages RAM only
for Packages
• CA Endevor SCM is a RAM only for
Elements
16

carma package view (filters) - RDz
Filter values for new Package Views
• Package ID
• Status
• Type
• Environment
• Stage

to ask what scope you want to narrow to
17

specific actions for each RAM - RDz
• CA Endevor SCM Packages RAM only
contains Package related action
• CA Endevor SCM RAM contains a mix
of element and package actions
• New > CA Endevor SCM package can
be used to create new packages
18

RDz design lesson 2 – Package – vs. – SCL extensions
1. RDz uses extensions to determine what type of resource is
being acted on
2. CA Endevor SCM Package SCL is actually a subset of the SCL
language
our dilemma … “how do we handle that distinction in RDz”
Answer: Use different extensions….
.PCK … represents a CA Endevor SCM package and will drive the RDz
Endevor Package editor
.SCL … represents an SCL language file and will drive the basic editor env.
19

RDz/CA Endevor SCM integration
• Filter and search through environments,
systems, subsystems, members, and stages
based on queries (equivalent to DISPLAY)
– Filters saved across z/OS sessions
– Easy access to common searches and
members
– Drill down into subsystems
• RETRIEVE members to z/OS projects
– Access to typical RDz functionality like
syntax check, content assist, debug, etc.
• ADD/UPDATE members with single click
– RDz remembers the CA Endevor SCM
location for retrieve and adds back
• Browse members from CARMA interface
• Integration with existing GENERATE
configuration
52

carma view - RDz
Carma is the interface to view CA Endevor SCM contents
• View lists of Element or packages
• Set up filters to narrow down the content selections
• Main interface to take action on CA Endevor SCM content

carma view (filters) - RDz
New Endevor View is a filter to focus on what you want
• First time you open a connection this view will pop up to ask
what scope you want to narrow to
• Selecting only an element will show you what stages an
element is in
54

RDz/CA Endevor SCM integration with zOS projects
• To retrieve files in zOS projects
– Extract to remote project
– Enter CA Endevor retrieve parameters
• Change Control ID
• Comment
• Signout override
• Expand includes (Y|N)
• others
• From z/OS projects all RDz functions
are available
