Create Powerful Custom Tools Quickly With Rational Software Architect Version 7.0: Introduction to the Transformation Authoring Feature

Overview The world of a software developer or architect is a complex one, where one often needs to integrate different technologies that have never been combined before. With the overwhelming permutations of emerging and legacy technologies, even the best out-of-the-box tools for enterprise development can help only to a certain extent. IBM Rational Software Architect 7.0 includes a new feature called Transformation Authoring that allows one to create custom tools without any knowledge of Eclipse frameworks or the need for custom coding. It uses graphical tooling and templates that use simple XPath syntax. This paper explains the business case for this technology, describes how the Transformation Authoring feature works, and gives a step-by-step example that creates a simple tool for database access.
