Developing and Testing the Application

The process used by developers using Enterprise Developer as the development environment with Enterprise Server as the deployment environment is as follows:

1. Use Enterprise Developer to maintain and compile BMS mapsets for CICS or generate DBDs, MFSs and PSBs for IMS.
2. Use Enterprise Developer to maintain resource definitions.
3. Maintain and compile CICS, IMS and batch programs in Enterprise Developer.
4. They deploy the application to Enterprise Server.
5. They debug the application in the Enterprise Developer IDE.

Steps 3 through 6 need to be repeated as required to get the application working correctly.

Developers need to have some familiarity with running programs in Enterprise Server and the facilities provided therein specifically for monitoring CICS, IMS and JCL applications.
