SCA Development Tools is a powerful, integrated extension to IBM® Rational® Developer for System z® for the assembly of service-oriented application components based on the open Service Component Architecture and the deployment of SCA assets to CICS® Transaction Server for z/OS® 4.1.

For information about SCA and Open Service Oriented Architecture (OSOA), see the "Related information" section at the end of this topic.

SCA Development Tools includes a concise set of tools for developing SCA service components implemented with CICS application programs, for graphically wiring components together to form new composite services, for associating protocol bindings to SCA components, and for packaging up SCA assets and deploying them to CICS Transaction Server for z/OS.
