RTPA for IBM z Systems Enterprise COBOLRTPA is currently available on the IBM i System for COBOL, RPG, and CL (JCL), and is being bridged to the IBM System z to achieve the same benefits.
RTPA provides real-time analytics and a permanent audit log, and provides irrefutable answersto what is actually happening inside the computer.
Like a video recording, RTPA records all programs executing inside the computer, including the contentsof variables and a timestamp, without human presence or intervention.
RTPA documents source programs to simplify and enhance developer and management understanding, protecting the crucial corporate software asset.
RTPA audits both in-house and vendor-supplied source programs.

1. Enhanced Productivity and Reduced Operating CostsThe use of RTPA will enable cost savings by greatly speeding the mastery and utilization of large and complex programs and reducing programmer orientation and training time. IT developers, QA, testers, and others can expect to simplify their jobs and reduce errors thereby quickly tripling their capability and productivity. RTPA also greatly reduces the need for complex coding skills and knowledge of the source program and applications, as RTPA logs exactly what is actually executing in the program. It eliminates catastrophic guessing and speculation of what is executing inside the computer, and virtually eliminates the need to recreate error conditions and use developer interactive debugging, all of which cost time and money.
2. Advanced Real-Time Analytics and InsightsRTPA enables unattended real-time source program auditing, recording, and data analytics by providing a video camera like recording of exactly what is happening inside the computer, in real time. The ability to see exactly what is happening inside large and complex source programs reduces stress on developers, executive and IT management, users, and dramatically increases IT staff and system productivity. RTPA demysti�es complex source code and complex applications for all who utilize it, in all stages of program development, testing and maintenance.
3. Supports InnovationRTPA dramatically improves the speed and quality of programming and DevOps activities such as program development, testing, QA, and related implementation, support, and operations using its unique and patented real-time analytics functionality. This radically simpli�es program development while reducing or eliminating complex time consuming and now needless work like using interactive debug and guessing.
4. Positive Customer ExperienceAn enterprise’s customer base will immediately bene�t from the use of RTPA as real-time system errors and problems can be resolved with enhanced speed. RTPA provides the exact problem issue audit, and provides for real-time analytics and correction. Developers become smarter and more capable by enabling them to identify and address issues affecting customers in real-time, leading to greater customer satisfaction.
5. Enhanced Security and Enterprise StabilityRTPA creates a secure recording of all source program output, providing an immutable source program activity log. This security-camera like functionality produces a backup of all source program activity, protecting your enterprise from system failures, and providing stability and program-knowledge protection in the case of staff turnover.

BENEFITS
THE POWER OF KNOWING
HOW THE REAL-TIME PROGRAM AUDIT (RTPA) WORKS
Select the IBM i ILE COBOL source program to be enhanced with RTPA auditing
Figure 1 – Select ILE COBOL source program GETXPSH in file QCBLLESRC in Library Z$AUDIT
Press command 10 to submit COBOL program GETEXPSH for expansion with RTPA auditing statements
The IBM i developer enters the RTPA command RTPACO to enable the COBOL source program with RTPA auditing capability (Figure 1).
The input COBOL source program is compiled (Figure 2) and checked for successful compilation, and the COBOL input program compile listing is used, with RTPA expansion options, like audit statement comments and timestamp statements, and RTPA audit statements are added to a COPY of the input source program in file QCBLLESRC in library Z$AUDITE.
