3rd Annual Plex/2E Worldwide Users Conference 10A What’s New in CA 2E CM and Advanced Topics Marty Acks, MKS

Agenda >CA 2E 8.1 SP2 and CM certification >Overview of Next CA 2E CM Release >Advanced Topics in CA 2E CM

CA 2E 8.1 SP2 and CA 2E CM >Certify existing 2E CM release against CA 2E 8.1 SP2 >Based on recent history, no changes are anticipated… >However, if needed...  A patch and/or new release will be produced >Certification of CA 2E CM to follow GA CA 2E 8.1 SP2 by a couple of weeks

Next Release of CA 2E CM Objectives >This release delivers on a number of strategic product roadmap initiatives; specifically, it adds significant functional support for the following areas:  CA 2E Specific Changes  Improved Graphical Capabilities  SQL Robustness  Global Markets >Code name Mattoon >Based on upcoming Implementer 2008 >Planned Availability: Q1 2008

CA 2E Specific Changes >Drastic performance improvements of promotions of 2E models >Improved error handling during promotion (Incorrect security message VIM0104 no longer sent) >Copy Model Object now allowed from Change Controlled to non-change controlled model  Eliminate need to turn model off in this instance >Create promotion request in batch limitations removed >… A few more to follow based on customer requests

New WDSC Integration and Beyond >MKS and WDSC (eclipse) background >Eclipse and WDSC  Implementer – Host-based System i development  MKS Source – Distributed development  MKS Integrity “Worktray” – Tasks and Workflow for the developer >Additionally GUI capabilities  MKS Source as underlying Implementer source repository  Browser and GUI Launching from Host-based Implementer  Issue-driven deployments from browser or GUI interface

New WDSC Plug-in >Improve the Graphical User experience >Provides a Workbench view of development within WDSC >WDSC plug-in has been rewritten from scratch >Supports WDSC 7.0

MKS and WDSC Background >First Implementer plug-in available in November 2002 >MKS elected to initial Eclipse Board of Stewards >Provide day 1 compatibility for every WDSC plug-in releases, including the latest WDSC 7.0 >In parallel have developed task/workflow, System i developer and distributed developer capabilities >Mature robust plug-ins for workflow and distributed development >In Implementer 2008 WDSC plug-ins rewritten as subsystems

WDSC Plug-in Key Features >New Implementer WDSC subsystem >Workbench and Work with Objects filter-style views >Both tree and table views with decorators >Works seamlessly with MKS Integrity Worktray >Unlimited filters supported  Two classes of filters, lock and member/object filters >Implementer gestures now use WDSC native UI boxes >Robust check out and promotion creation >IFS and native both available in one user interface

The MKS Worktray >The “Worktray” brings the powerful capabilities of MKS Integrity, directly to the developer within WDSC >With the MKS “Worktray”, developers may run queries, receive work assignments (tasks), log time, and update assignments without ever stepping outside of WDSC >All software changes are easily linked to approved development tasks, providing complete traceability of all development work, significantly aiding compliance initiatives and IT audit-ability within the organization >Developers now have a single integrated interface for all development and workflow

Implementer with MKS Source >Single, secure delta-based repository for all source >Available on Implementer Workbench, Work with Objects, Concurrent Development panels and WDSC >Graphical member history >Comparison capabilities >Annotated source view provides “time-lined” history of source (optionally by issue)

SQL Improvements >Source-based SQL  Promote Views or Indices without their underlying Tables  Eliminate need to remove constraints in some instances  Allow source-based with non-source based SQL >SQL and DDS coexistence on same promotion >Source-based SQL and non-source SQL on same promotion >Numerous other improvements

Named Filter Support >Named filters allow rapid switching between commonly used filters >Available on host-based Workbench and Work with Objects >Filters are shared with WDSC filters  Filters can be created either on host or in WDSC and use in both places >Global and User Specific filters available >One-time filtering still available

Globalization Changes >Support Japanese written applications >DBCS enablement of Implementer database >Based on Implementer 2006 functionality >Phased Rollout:  Three release in 2007 >Included today:  Check out/promote/deploy, workbench, administration, MKS Source, Dual CCSID applications, MKS Integrity >Limitations today include:  Integrations (including 2E), WDSC, English UI, Vendor- oriented release management

Further Globalization Changes >2E CM and MKS Integrity Integration now communicate via Unicode  Improves support for non-English Latin language code pages >Variety of CCSID changes made should benefit non- English European users
