Modernized EntireX Workbench

With EntireX 7.3 the EntireX Workbench will be completely modernized:

¬ Unify Software AG design-time tools

¬ Improve integration of EntireX design-time with other Software AG tools

¬ Respond to customer and prospect feedback


Software AG‘s Eclipse Strategy

Software AG is Add-In Provider memberof Eclipse Foundation

Strategic decision of Software AG¬ Provide a unified toolset for a productive user-experience¬ All design-time tools based on Eclipse

Product examples¬ crossvision SOA Suite supports Eclipse

¬ all design-time tools¬ Natural 2006 supports Eclipse¬ EntireX 7.3 supports Eclipse

Eclipse Foundation

Eclipse provides an ecosystem for tools integrationEclipse has formed an independent open ecosystem around royalty-free technology and a universal platform for tools integration.

Eclipse based tools give developers freedom of choice in a multi-language, multi-platform, multi-vendor environment. Eclipse provides a plug-in based framework that makes it easier to create, integrate and utilize software tools, saving time and money.

Eclipse is independent and not-for-profitECLIPSECON, ANAHEIM, CA—February 2, 2004—The Eclipse Board of Stewards today announced Eclipse’s reorganization into a not-

for-profit corporation. Originally a consortium that formed when IBM released the Eclipse Platform into Open Source, Eclipse is now an independent body that will drive the platform’s evolution to benefit the providers of software development offerings and end-users. All technology and source code provided to this fast-growing ecosystem will remain openly available and royalty-free.

Widely used industry standard¬ 115 members

(e.g. IBM, SAP, HP, BEA, JBoss, Novell, CA, Nokia…)¬ 50 million download requests to date

EntireX Workbench 7.3 Look & Feel- Example: Natural Extractor -

Extraction toolsnow integrated!


EntireX Workbench 7.3 Look & Feel- Example: COBOL Extractor -

ExtractCOBOL from

mainframe PDS directly!


EntireX Workbench 7.3 Look & Feel- CentraSite and SOA Support -

¬ Deploy EntireX web services via wizard¬ Register EntireX web services in CentraSite¬ Consume web services registered in CentraSite

¬ Store integration metadata in CentraSite¬ WSDL, IDL, XML Mapping files (xmm)¬ Retrieve integration metadata

¬ Store dependencies between integration metadata objects¬ Enable CentraSite impact analysis¬ Enable visualization of dependencies between

enterprise services in CentraSitee.g. between web services and legacy program logic



- Example: Web Service Registration -

Registration andDeployment gohand-in-hand!


EntireX Workbench 7.3 Look & Feel- PL/I Support -

Generate PL/I source code

¬ For RPC client and RPC server

¬ Specific support for IMS parameters

Extract PL/I source code

¬ Browse over mainframe data sets (PDS)

¬ Browse members in data sets

¬ Define filters to enhance your search



- Example: Generation of PL/I RPC Server -

Generate yourRPC Server witha few clicks!



- Example: Integration with different tools -

Example:An EntireX web service

is consumed by

Application Composerwithin one and

the same IDE!

EntireX Workbench 7.3Platforms

* The EntireX Workbench 7.3 will initially not be available for z/Linux, Solaris, HP-UX and AIX. On these platforms you have got the choice between a Windows or Linux/Intel design-time environment.EntireX command line interface will additionally be available on Solaris, AIX and HP-UX for PA-RISC.IDL Compiler (erxidl) will additionally be available on z/Linux, Solaris, HP-UX and AIX.


EntireX Workbench 7.3 Installation- Options -

The EntireX Workbench 7.3 technically consists of a set of Eclipse 3.1 plug-ins. There are two typical installation situations which are both supported bythe EntireX Workbench installation:

Common Software AG Eclipse already installed:¬ EntireX Workbench functionality can be installed into an existing common

Software AG Eclipse 3.1

Common Software AG Eclipse not yet installed:¬ Common Software AG Eclipse (Standard Eclipse 3.1) will be installed and pre-

configured with EntireX Workbench functionality¬ Can be enhanced with further Software AG Eclipse plug-ins¬ Can be enhanced with 3rd party Eclipse plug-ins if desired

Moreover, the EntireX Workbench plug-ins are always copied to disk. This way theplug-ins can be installed to an arbitrary Eclipse 3.1 installation via Eclipse.


EntireX Workbench 7.3 Installation- Scope of Delivery -

WindowsEntireX Workbench Windows is deliveredCan be installed from within EntireX Windows installation or separately

Linux/IntelEntireX Workbench Linux/Intel is deliveredCan be installed from within EntireX Linux/Intel installation or separately

Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, zLinuxThe Workbench will initially not be available for these platforms. You have got the

choice between a Windows or Linux/Intel design-time environment.

Effort and Impact I

EntireX 7.3 features...

¬ ...will be covered by EntireX Workbench 7.3 only

EntireX 7.2 IDL files...

¬ ...can be reused without changes

¬ ...properties will be automatically migrated to Eclipse IDL file

properties when opening an EntireX 7.2 IDL file

EntireX 7.2 XML mapping files...

¬ ...can be reused without changes


Effort and Impact II

EntireX Workbench command-line interface features...¬ ...will be available independent of EntireX Workbench 7.3¬ ...will not be available on: z/Linux, HP-UX Itanium¬ Existing command scripts (Windows) and shell scripts (UNIX) can remain unchanged

¬ On platforms other than Windows or Linux/Intel:EntireX plugins need to be installed into an existing Eclipseenvironment.

EntireX IDL compiler (erxidl.exe):¬ Most command scripts (Windows) and can remain unchanged¬ Shell scripts (UNIX) and some command scripts (Windows) needto be slightly adapted:¬ Windows: erxidl.exe � erxidl.bat¬ UNIX: erxidl � erxidl.bsh


Advantages of EntireX Workbench 7.3

Increased interoperabilityBased on open standards and open source frameworksEasily add 3rd party plug-ins to extend the functional rangeReuse your existing Eclipse 3.1 if you want to

Increased efficiency and productivityShare the common Software AG design-time environmentReduce the learning curve to a minimumFind extraction tools for Natural, COBOL, PL/I in one place

Increased usability and ergonomicsProfit from Eclipse as a full-scale IDEAdapt the workspace, preferences, properties to your individual needs
