The following new capabilities are introduced in Rational® Business Developer V9.1.1:
Support for calling CICS programs with JCICS
You can specify JCICS as
remoteComType to call CICS® programs
from CICS Liberty applications.
This feature requires CICS Transaction
Server for z/OS® 5.1 or above.
New EGL editor preferences
- Warning messages are issued if a statement causes data movement
to a smaller field, that could result in truncation. This warning
message is on by default and can be turned off in the EGL editor preferences.
- A new EGL editor preference allows you to control when programs
and libraries are recompiled and regenerated, when affected by a change
to a top-level function, record or data item. Instead of having every
part affected by the change immediately recompiled, which might take
substantial time, the feature will automatically build and manage
a list of deferred work. This list with its associated popup menu
selections, allows you to decide what and when to recompile or regenerate
the programs and libraries. This feature significantly reduces the
time taken for incremental builds in the workspace. An additional
advantage of this feature is that you can quickly find out which programs
or libraries use a specific top-level function, record or data item.
- Significant performance improvements for cobolGen library variable
access.
New functions in EGL Parts Reference view
- Provide new filters to filter parts as you want. You can show
parts that are only related to Call statement or Top Level Function.
- You can copy the current displayed tree structure. Use this function
with the filters above to copy the parts you want.
For more information, refer to Viewing part references.

widget-upgrade tasks section on Overview of EGL Rich UI.
The suppressChangeEvent property for several Dojo
widgets
The suppressChangeEvent is a new property that is
added for DojoTextField, DojoCurrencyTextBox, DojoDateTextBox, DojoTimeTextBox,
and DojoTextArea to prevent the onChange events after setting this
Boolean value to true by code.
New functions for MVC controller and form to get its
valid state
The isFormValid() function is added for FormManager
and the isControllerValid() function is added for controller to get
its valid state without notifying the valid state change listeners.
