RPG Open Access, IBM & looksoftware - the path forward for RPG.
Presented by looksoftware & IBM
Seamlessly blend Open Access and 5250 with lookserver for RPG Open Access, IBM i Edition.
There has been much excitement and interest over the Rational Open Access: RPG Edition announcement from IBM. However the key question on many developers' lips is how this announcement impacts those with extensive investments in existing RPG code. Also, what is the impact on those applications where the RPG source code is not available?
looksoftware's RPG Open Access support enables RPG Open Access (ROA) to be easily implemented for both new and existing RPG applications seamlessly, providing a genuine path forward for RPG with no re-write requirement.
Hosted by looksoftware and co-presented by IBM's Alison Butterill, this webinar comprises an overview of looksoftware’s ROA support, as well as a live demonstration of this technology, and an insight into IBM's endorsement of the looksoftware ROA handler.
looksoftware's support for Rational Open Access: RPG Edition, includes:
- Delivery of multi-channel GUIs from native RPG code, including rich client, RIA, and mobile support, which includes iPhone, iPad and Android, amongst other devices
- Support for web services - your RPG OA code can be automatically service enabled
- Support for existing 5250 apps and system functions like Spool files, so new RPG OA code can integrate with existing 5250 applications and deliver a seamless, consistent UX
- Open Access support in looksoftware's development tools including Designer

"With the capability to deliver multiple UIs from a single RPG program, the looksoftware tools manage the complexity of the myriad of modern user interface clients. RPG developers will focus less on the differences of browsers and mobile clients, and become more productive with the business logic of their applications."
Trevor Perry, Angus Thinks.

"People will seriously start to use RPG once again for new development, because they can see that IBM's supporting it, and that they can have native RPG code that is going to support modern devices. This is very significant because it gives people who want to stick with RPG a long-term path forward."

"RPG Open Access is very much the kind of RPG enhancement we had been lobbying to get for years - even before we left IBM more than 12 years ago."

“This Open Access function is a dramatic new option for RPG applications—if you want to bypass the 5250 requirement, this lets you write applications for the first time without outputting them to a 5250 data stream, and this will really open up a wide range of new application possibilities".
Ian Jarman, Manager of Power Systems Software, IBM
