V4R4 Enhancements - IBM AS/400e User Handbook Manual

IBM Licensed Programs: Application Development Products
maintains the integrity of the application by not allowing one developer to overwrite
another developer's source changes. Application Development Manager helps to
automate the process of building, or compiling, source code. Application developers no
longer have to analyze relationships between pieces of code. The build process does it for
them. Application Development Manager provides developers with a mechanism for
efficiently managing application objects throughout the life of an application.
Application Development Manager supports applications written in these programming
languages: ILE C for AS/400, ILE COBOL for AS/400, and ILE RPG for AS/400. It also
supports CL, SQL, and DDS (Data Description Specifications).
Application Development Manager contains security, auditability, and administrative
functions, which facilitate the management of an application development environment:
– Application Development Manager security functions : Limits access to appropriate
users
– Audit trail : Keeps the dates and times of changes and user IDs of the person making
changes
– Report facility : Shows the impact of the change to an application component
– Administrative functions : For enrolling users to a project or application, defining
projects, and defining a project hierarchy
These Application Development Manager facilities help developers to work efficiently and
effectively in a well-organized and controlled application development environment. ADM
functions are available through CODE/400.

V4R4 Enhancements

The Application Development Toolset for AS/400 has been enhanced with:
• Support for distribution of applications from a development machine to target
production machines.
• Support on the large production system to copy the needed programs.
• A new value *DIRCHAIN on the BLDSCOPE parameter of the BLDPART command to
allow building the parts that directly depend on the part being built.
• Template of compile commands used by CODE/400 in the build option port.
• A self-study guide for quick orientation of product concept and functions.
• ADM/400 is enhanced to allow for libraries outside ADM/400 environment to be
supported.
