We have a Cobol/VSAM/CICS+batch application that the developers want to convert the
Cobol/VSAM part to Java/Db2, still residing on the mainframe. I have java 8 (both 31 bit
and 64 bit) as well as java 11 and 17 on the mainframe - the parts that are "no
additional cost" with z/OS 3.1. Is this all I need to develop java applications on
the MF or are there additional java compilers or other pieces that I would need to
purchase to make this a viable option? At this point the only java we use is what IBM
ships ( like SCRT).
You should have everything you need on the mainframe already.
Most likely, your developers will want to do the development on a PC
etc. using an IDE and do the compilation there, with the compiled jar
files shipped to the mainframe. There can be difficulties finding all
the pieces required i.e. z/OS specific jar files (IBM hasn't made this
easy!) , but that's the best way to do it.
