Rational Team Concert for System z 2.0 Open Beta on jazz.net by COBOL_Cafe at Jun 8, 2009 6:01 PM
We are pleased to announce the IBM® Rational® Team Concert for System z (RTCz) 2.0 Open Beta on jazz.net. RTCz enables a collaborative software development environment that links planning, work items (tasks), source control management and automated project status in a single solution. RTCz 2.0 offers the opportunity to experience new scalability and security features, automated cross-platform build, dashboard mashups with cross-server viewlets, common user identity management across environments and platforms, and much more. See this website for more information about RTCz 2.0 and to download the code http://jazz.net/downloads/rational-team-concert/betas/z2.0Beta2
Welcome to the IBM Rational Team Concert for System z (RTCz) hub; a place to learn about RTCz and collaborate with the developers of RTCz and the community at large. RTCz can make you and your team more productive while developing and maintaining cross-platform applications in Java, .NET, COBOL, CICS, PL/I, IMS, and a variety of other languages and runtimes. At the heart of it, RTCz is a Software Configuration Management (SCM) system. But as you explore and participate in this hub, you will quickly realize it's not just any ordinary SCM system!
RTCz includes so many great features that it's hard to know where to even start in a small overview like this. There are work items that can be used to track new requirements, defects, or any other type of task. Screen shots and other files can be attached to a work item and discussions around a work item are captured in the work item, not email, so they don't get lost! There is a state of the art source change management system that tracks every change to every line of source over the life of the application, with tools to view the change history and compare any revisions of a source member. All changes are tracked as change sets that are linked to the work item, allowing anyone to see exactly which source lines were modified to implement the work item.
Development processes are usually defined with good intentions, but their implementation can quickly become a burden. The notion of a team and process underscores everything in RTCz. With RTCz you can tell the tool what your processes are, and the tool makes following those processes easy and productive!
RTCz extends Rational Team Concert with additional capabilities to run on System z. Rational Team Concert is built on the Jazz team collaboration platform. It's often said that Jazz is to the team what Eclipse is to the developer. While RDz provides modern application development tools to make COBOL and PL/I developers more productive, RTCz provides modern SCM and team collaboration tools to make the entire development team more productive. Together they are a fantastic combination!
