The architecture of Rational Business Developer (RBD) is centered around the Eclipse IDE, which serves as the primary development environment. Key components include the EGL compiler, code generators (COBOL and Java), and deployment tools. The EGL compiler translates EGL source code into an intermediate representation.
The code generators then transform this representation into COBOL or Java code, depending on the target platform (z/OS or z/VSE). Communication between the IDE and the mainframe occurs over TCP/IP, using protocols such as FTP for file transfer and SSH for secure connections. RBD integrates with various mainframe databases and storage mechanisms, including DB2 and VSAM.
The Eclipse IDE provides a user-friendly interface for managing projects, editing code, and configuring build settings. The product supports debugging capabilities, allowing developers to step through code and inspect variables. The generated code is deployed to the mainframe environment using deployment tools provided within the IDE.
