Rational Developer for System z

Developing database application projects

A database application project allows you easily create a Web-enabled application that accesses a z/OS® DB2® database. You can then import the new database application into a service flow project as an response Web service subproject. This allows you to invoke the new database application from the service flow project.

The System z® Database Application Generator is an independent component in the IBM® Rational® Developer for System z and can be used in various perspectives to create a Web-enabled CICS® application that accesses a z/OS DB2 database.

You can also create a System z Database Application Generator project in the Enterprise Service Tools perspective. To create the project:
  1. Open the New Database Application Project wizard:
    1. In the EST Project Explorer, right-click anywhere over the main window area. The contextual menu opens.
    2. Select New > Database Application Project. The New Database Application Project wizard opens.
    Note: Alternatively, you can open this wizard by selecting File > New > Database Application Project on the main menu of the workbench.
  2. Use the New Database Application Project wizard to create a System z Database Application Generator project (see "Creating a Database Application" in the IBM Rational Developer for System z online help).

The wizard creates a new System z Database Application Generator project in the EST Project Explorer. You can then work on the System z Database Application Generator project using the tools provided by the System z Database Application Generator (see "Using the Database Application Generator" in the IBM Rational Developer for System z online help).

You can then import the new database application into a service flow project. This allows you to invoke the new database application from the service flow project as an response Web service (see Integrating a database application project into a service flow project).
