Re: More on EGL - a new name

Maybe so, but check my other post for how to get it - you get EGL in RDBE - so
it is a moot point to me - you will NOT find it as a product called EGL, as far
as I know. I am gleaning this from the EGL page at developerworks. You also, as
a BP, will not find version 7 unless you use Developer Business Extensions to
search the SAC.

That other post cites the link where it says that people with WDSC 6, et al.,
are entitled to get RDBE v.7 free - contact a Rational sales representative. It
is not clear whether this means our usual iSeries business partner channels or
some other means. I hope Claus Weiss can weigh in on this. Or someone else now
on the iSeries wing of Rational. Or maybe you have a contact for this.

But those who are at all interested in using EGL have to get their butts out of
their chairs and order it.

IBM Rational has another new name - EGL is now called Rational Business
Developer Extension. This just makes it harder for us to know where to
find it - heh!

Business partners who have the Software Access Catalog option can download
the eAssembly there - there are 2, a trial and a full (I assume) version.
You won't find version 7 under the old name.

More info on EGL can be found at developerworks at

http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/rational/products/egl/

I was intrigued by the possibilities this product gives our customers. See
what y'all think.

This is not quite true, Vern.

EGL is still EGL, and in fact there is thought to submitting the language to
the standards committees. RBDE is IBM's tooling for the language. I've
written several articles on EGL both in MCPress Online and in IBM System
Magazine; it's quite a powerful tool, but we're still waiting to get
information on pricing for System i developers.
