Remote mainframe development and workflow modeling

Enterprise Developer for IBM zEnterprise enables users to edit, compile and execute jobs directly on the mainframe all directly from within the Eclipse IDE. It also allows you to model your mainframe development process directly into Eclipse without any custom JAVA plug-in development. This functionality is provided by the following additional components:

z/Server
is a z/OS server program that allows Enterprise Developer users to develop applications directly on the mainframe. The z/Server is a mainframe started task which needs to be installed on your mainframe to enable the remote development and workflow modeling capabilities.
Two manuals are provided with this documentation to assist you with the z/Server installation. These are available as downloadable PDF files from the Electronic Product Download site and on the Micro Focus SupportLine Web site:
  • z/Server Installation Guide
  • z/Server Messages and Diagnostics
Workflow Manager
is available within the Enterprise Developer Eclipse based IDE and provides all the capabilities and tools to develop and maintain Application Workflow models. These models allow you to integrate mainframe tools and processes directly into Enterprise Developer.
Two manuals are provided with this documentation to assist you with using and configuring the Workflow Manager component. These are available as downloadable PDF files at the Electronic Product Download site and on the Micro Focus SupportLine Web site:
  • Workflow Manager Configuration Guide
