Rational Developer for System z, Version 7.6

Overview

The service flow project tools are a comprehensive toolset that aids in transforming traditional host applications to fit the modern service model.
The software consists of a series of wizards and editors which create and manage various resources. The service flow project tools can be used to convert the following types of applications: In all cases, the developer first creates a flow on the Rational® Developer for System z® workbench and then uses that flow to generate code that is then deployed to a host runtime environment.
Figure 1 illustrates these two steps:

Relationship between Rational Developer for System z and runtime

A flow is a program-like sequence of operations from which the service flow project tools can generate runtime code for a supported runtime environment. A flow is functionally the primary type of artifact of the service flow project tools, because it draws other types of artifacts together into a purposeful sequence of program interactions with existing application processes. In the flow editor, a flow is displayed as a graph of connected nodes, each node containing connection points called terminals (see Developing flows).
