Description

BMC COPE enables the virtualization of IMS, allowing for the rapid creation of new development images that greatly minimize both the expenses and time delays typically linked with establishing new IMS subsystems. The challenge of creating and managing numerous IMS development and testing systems is alleviated by COPE, which offers a solution to virtualize IMS systems, thereby reducing the necessity for distinct IMS systems and associated components during each application's development and testing phases. This innovation streamlines the development landscape by facilitating the concurrent execution of various application versions that depend on IMS database services, while also accommodating multiple iterations of batch or BMP programs and IMS database types, such as Full Function, HALDB, MSDB, and DEDB. COPE establishes connections to Db2, MQ, and CICS subsystems via a single IMS system, enhancing its utility when integrated with BMC AMI DevX Code Debug, BMC AMI DevX File-AID, and BMC AMI DevX Abend-AID, which assist in debugging IMS applications within a COPE virtualized framework. Additionally, this comprehensive approach not only promotes efficiency but also fosters collaborative efforts among development teams by providing a unified environment for testing and debugging.

Description

Z/XDC offers developers an interactive and source-level debugging experience for mainframe programs within any z/OS environment, enabling them to navigate through live code, monitor variables in real-time, and address issues more swiftly than conventional techniques allow. By eliminating the guesswork inherent in traditional debugging, it grants comprehensive, real-time insight into program execution and introduces advanced debugging features to mainframe development. With Z/XDC, developers can significantly cut down on debugging durations, transforming a process that typically takes days into one that can be accomplished in hours, allowing them to test hypotheses instantly without the need for lengthy recompilation, make spontaneous modifications, run “what if” scenarios, correct problems, and validate solutions efficiently. Among its capabilities, Z/XDC allows for precise line-by-line stepping through code, instant code alterations, flag adjustments, modifications of data fields and registers, control over the Program Status Word (PSW), and the ability to load or delete modules, as well as manage memory with GETMAINs and FREEMAINs, and post Event Control Blocks. Additionally, it ensures source-level visibility, allowing developers to view the code as initially written, automatically load source image maps from ADATA, and access a variety of other helpful features, making it an indispensable tool for modern mainframe programming. This integration of advanced debugging functionalities enhances overall productivity and streamlines the development workflow for programmers working in mainframe environments.
