Rational Programming Patterns Software Development Kit (SDK)

Rational Programming Patterns now provides a data dictionary that can be extended to native COBOL developments, and a set of public API to use this native COBOL source through micropatterns.

This feature lays the foundations to support new applications or technical architectures, and facilitate the development of a new generator that breaks down a complex transformation into smaller and simpler transformations through micropatterns and skeletons, without developing any new generator.

New filter

A new filter is available from the Design Explorer view and from the result view of an instance or reference search. It filters the instances according to a project and its hierarchy.
