This IBM® Redbooks® publication is focused on melding industry preferred practices with the unique needs of the IBM i community and providing a holistic view of modernization. This book covers key trends for application structure, user interface, data access, and the database. Modernization is a broad term when applied to applications. It is more than a single event. It is a sequence of actions. But even more, it is a process of rethinking how to approach the creation and maintenance of applications. There are tangible deliveries when it comes to modernization, the most notable being a modern user interface (UI), such as a web browser or being able to access applications from a mobile device. The UI, however, is only the beginning. There are many more aspects to modernization. Using modern tools and methodologies can significantly improve productivity and reduce long-term cost while positioning applications for the next decade. It is time to put the past away. Tools and methodologies have undergone significant transformation, improving functionality, usability, and productivity. This is true of the plethora of IBM tools and the wealth of tools available from many Independent Solution Providers (ISVs). This publication is the result of work that was done by IBM, industry experts, and by representatives from many of the ISV Tool Providers. Some of their tools are referenced in the book. In addition to reviewing technologies based on context, there is an explanation of why modernization is important and a description of the business benefits of investing in modernization. This critical information is key for line-of-business executives who want to understand the benefits of a modernization project. This book is appropriate for CIOs, architects, developers, and business leaders. Related information Making the Case for Modernization, IBM Systems Magazine

Procedures, triggers, and user-defined functions (UDFs) are the key database software features for developing robust and distributed applications. IBM Universal DatabaseTM for i (IBM DB2® for i) supported these features for many years, and they were enhanced in V5R1, V5R2, and V5R3 of IBM® OS/400® and V5R4 of IBM i5/OSTM. This IBM Redbooks® publication includes several of the announced features for procedures, triggers, and UDFs in V5R1, V5R2, V5R3, and V5R4. This book includes suggestions, guidelines, and practical examples to help you effectively develop IBM DB2 for i procedures, triggers, and UDFs. The following topics are covered in this book: External stored procedures and triggers Java procedures (both Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) and Structured Query Language for Java (SQLJ)) External triggers External UDFs This publication also offers examples that were developed in several programming languages, including RPG, COBOL, C, Java, and Visual Basic, by using native and SQL data access interfaces. This book is part of the original IBM Redbooks publication, Stored Procedures, Triggers, and User-Defined Functions on DB2 Universal Database for iSeries, SG24-6503-02, that covered external procedures, triggers, and functions, and also SQL procedures, triggers, and functions. All of the information that relates to external routines was left in this publication. All of the information that relates to SQL routines was rewritten and updated. This information is in the new IBM Redbooks publication, SQL Procedures, Triggers, and Functions on IBM DB2 for i, SG24-8326. This book is intended for anyone who wants to develop IBM DB2 for i procedures, triggers, and UDFs. Before you read this book, you need to know about relational database technology and the application development environment on the IBM i server.
