Re: What is the current application that replaces the old WDS

I'm still trying to get some clarification on this.

ADTS is stabilized, and yet if you want to go to 5722RDG, you have to pay $665 a seat? That's a pretty nasty rock and hard place they've got us between.

Our business partners just did some digging into the depths of IBM
and Passport Disadvantage.


The 'old' tools were:

ADTS (Application Development ToolSet) This was part of Websphere
Development Studio. This product has been 'stabilized;' SEU feature
will support OS v6.1 RPG and COBOL, but not future releases.

Websphere Development Studio Client (WDSc)- previously included with
WDS and no cost. Stabilized at v5r4 of OS/i. Will work with OS/6.1,
but will not support RPG or COBOL compiler enhancements at OS/6.1.
Support terminated April 2, 2010.



New Rational v8 development tools (replaces all previous versions of
Rational tools; they're no longer available):

5733RDG - Replacement for ADTS. Purchase via IBM standard channels
for $860/seat. You can upgrade an existing ADTS license via Passport
Disadvantage for $665/user. Both include 1 year of support; support
is $177/user/year starting 2nd year.

5733-RDD - Includes all of RDG, plus Java, AIX, Linux, etc. Replaces
WDSc. $2740/seat. Includes 1 year of support; support costs
$548/year/seat starting in 2nd year. No trade-up available.
