BMC COPE Integrations

BMC AMI DevX transforms the mainframe development landscape by enabling teams to create high-quality code with increased efficiency, smoother workflows, and a more contemporary development experience. It integrates various stages of the software development lifecycle—including agile development, testing, debugging, promotion, and delivery—into a comprehensive toolchain that caters to developers of all expertise levels. By allowing teams to operate within their preferred environments, like Eclipse and VS Code, it minimizes interruptions and facilitates easier onboarding for newcomers. The platform enhances processes such as editing, building, source code management, approvals, and deployment with its Code Pipeline feature, which promotes simultaneous development, accelerates release cycles, and ensures secure delivery. Furthermore, Code Insights provides developers with immediate visibility into intricate mainframe applications, aiding in the visualization of logic, dependencies, and monolithic structures, while generative AI explanations foster quicker comprehension of complex COBOL, JCL, PL/I, and Assembler code. This holistic approach not only streamlines the development process but also empowers teams to innovate more rapidly and efficiently in a constantly evolving technological landscape.

BMC AMI DevX Abend-AID streamlines the process of detecting, analyzing, and diagnosing abends in mainframe applications and systems. Developers often find themselves investing excessive hours in the manual detection and resolution of these issues, but with Abend-AID, these tasks are automated, allowing for quick identification of problems across various environments, which enhances developer productivity significantly. By capturing real-time information from multiple environments, teams can minimize the time and resources spent on troubleshooting mainframe application and system abends, leading to reduced downtime and an overall improvement in the reliability and quality of these applications. This solution seamlessly integrates with both BMC and third-party tools, fostering a smooth workflow that enables developers to efficiently tackle issues as they arise. Furthermore, it offers automated failure notifications via platforms such as Slack, Teams, or ChatOps, complete with links to root cause analyses, thereby accelerating the time to resolution. Ultimately, this comprehensive tool not only simplifies the abend handling process but also enhances collaboration among teams.
