Rational Developer for System z, Version 7.6

Overview of Application Deployment Manager

This is a quick overview of the Application Deployment Manager tool.

As Rational® Developer for System z® encompasses an increasing number of components including Enterprise Service Tools, Integrated Development Environment for System z, Database Application Generator, BMS Map Designer, and MFS Map Designer. Each of these components produces or generates z/OS® artifacts, and many of these newer components produce artifacts specifically for CICS®. This increasingly robust mix of application development components for z/OS has resulted in a broad set of requirements for deploying all Rational Developer for System z artifacts to the z/OS platform.

The Application Deployment Manager provides a common deployment approach for all Rational Developer for System z components. In this context the term deploy is defined as a multistage process that includes artifact transfer and CICS resource definition. The Application Deployment Manager addresses artifact transfer and CICS resource definition in the following ways:

The Application Deployment Manager provides an enhanced user interface for defining and editing CICS resource definitions, which are now stored in a manifest file. In addition, the IBM® CICS Explorer is used to view installed CICS resources.
