Rational® Software
Architect is required to begin the UML-to-COBOL process.
To use Rational Software
Architect to develop a model, perform the following tasks:
- Model the language-neutral layer.
- Transform the language-neutral model to the COBOL-dependent layer.
- Enhance the COBOL-dependent layer.
- Describe a basic control flow of a program.
Note: Rational Developer
for System z® provides an extension that when installed with Rational Software Architect lets you
develop a COBOL model. To use this capability, download and install the "UML
Profiles for COBOL Development" extension. For more information, see the Rational Software
Architect documentation.
