In the previous blog, we outlined the strategic intent of IP Partnership with IBM. One of the key promises is HCL and IBM have committed to investing in and growing the portfolio to respond to rapid pace of innovation. Let us share some facts and see if you agree with us that we are living up to its promise.

The universally accepted approach for accelerated innovation today is REST APIs. Based on the HTTP protocol and lightweight JSON to describe payload data, it’s the de facto standard for developing mobile, web and even portions of enterprise applications. With frameworks like Swagger and with supporting tools for developing, using and documenting APIs, it is easy to appreciate its popularity and acceptance by many developers today.

IBM CICS Interdependency Analyzer (CICS IA) for z/OS is a run-time productivity tool for CICS TS (CICS Transaction Server) that can be used for dynamic application analysis. It acts as a Discovery Tool and captures application information while CICS is running, and hence identifies resource interdependencies & affinities (like ENQ/DEQ, TSQUEUE, CWA etc) within the CICS system, relationships between resources (like CICS transactions, programs, files, TDQs, TSQs, Web-services, DB2 tables, views etc), & the environment on which they run.

Product Overview
​IBM Business Developer provides built-in service constructs and a facility for service generation, allowing business-oriented developers to create service-oriented architecture (SOA) applications without extensive training. It creates Enterprise Generation Language (EGL) services, automates generation of web services from EGL and deploys EGL to IBM CICS® servers, IBM IMS™ (Information Management System) and the IBM i platform. It allows developers to leverage existing development skills by working within the familiar Eclipse-based environment.
